This paper's goal is to separate and describe the lexicographic senses (=lexemes) of the Korean adjective -I. The previous studies of -I are limited to several typical uses of I-, while we belive that we should examine the whole range of I- uses so that all of its lexemes can be examined. The paper proposes typological, semantic and syntactic considerations that can be used to separate the lexemes. Through the application of these considerations and the discussion of the characteristics of I-, this paper shows that I- can have 19 lexemes.
