First, the distinction between the two categories, correlative and non-correlative, must be made on the basis of the number of "semantic" argument that the predicate requires, and the number of arguments the predicate requires are determined ultimately by the meaning of the predicate itself.
instead of using the context or the construction as the criterion of distinguishing the two types of categories as he originally suggests, J-N Kim uses the meaning of the adjectives as the criterion for the distinction between correlative and non-correlative adjectives.
