I think the synchronic status of a language must have general rules but that the outskirts of that is boiling and changing continuously. Current language status is dynamic. I discussed grammaticalization, lexicalization, morohization. These are the items relationed to the dynamic status of current Korean. In past days they symply regarded grammaticalization as the item as to diachronic grammatical changes. Recently they concentrate on the contribution of synchronic status. But semantic change, change of grammatical function and grammatical category, reanalysis, unidirectionality - none any of these cannot explain grammaticalization satisfactorily. In spite of all these handicaps, it is important to study grammaticalization. Because the original status of an item can explain about its current shape and function. Lexicalization is similar to grammaticalization, if we approach the process itself. The reason is that both have a tendency to relate with reanalysis. Some assert that lexicalization is the furthest extreme of grammaticalization. But I cannot assent to their point of view because I think lexicalization must form an unanalyzable word and on the other hand grammaticalization must form grammatical morph. Morphization can help such dilemma. I partially expect morphization is effective in explaining grammaticalization with grammatical logic itself.
