This paper attempts to survey the structural properties of Korean universal quantifier constructions as manifested in various form and to determine the differences in semantic interpretation according to quantifier type. It can be assumed that the universal quantifier constructions are classified into four types according to their relation to the NPs they refer to: attribute constructions, complement-head constructions, adjunct constructions, and double case marker cons tructions. The quantificational meanings of universal quantifiers are divided into NP quantification and action quantification. The former, which is the most general form, can be interpreted as denoting the universal set of quantified NPs, or the whole of quantified NPs. On the other hand, the latter, which reorganizes continuing actions into one-time actions for verbs that have semantic features of continuity, denotes the universal set of one-time actions. This universal quan tifier is “da”. Accordingly, action quantification can not be overt in verbs that have the semantic feature [one-time]. This is because these verbs cannot be analyzed as a “set of step-by-step actions”.
