Chong, Song-Yun. 1999. The Alternation of Liquid Sounds and Syllable Structure. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 1-14. The erratic alternation of liquid sounds in English sound production is one of the recalcitrant problems for Korean students. This problem is caused by the differences in phonemic distribution between Korean and English languages. I will argue that the differences in phonemic system(other than the range of its distribution) between these languages hardly explicate the reason why in one position the lateral([l]) is replaced by flapping([r]) and in certain other position the flapping is replaced by lateral. This fact, as I have observed, has nothing to do with phonemic inventory (or system) of both languages. This alternation can be recognizable by analyzing the differences of syllable structure along with the syllable constituents between Korean and English. Incidentally, the (re)syllabification setting up by Korean in English sound production is crucial to account for the erroneous substitution of [l] for [r] or vice versa. I am going to use, therefore, the binary branching syllable structure and justify that the erratic alternation can be normalized by relocating the lateral/flapping sounds in syllable constituents.

Kim, Hyung-Soo. 1999. Glide Formation and Compensatory Lengthening in Korean Revisited. Studies in Grammar 17, 15-31. This paper reanalyzes three phonological problems in glide formation and compensatory lengthening in Korean: 1) the obligatory glide formation with no compensatory lengthening in wa˘ <*o-a "come", 2) the lack of glide formation in coa <*coh-a "like, not ψcwa (cf. noa, nwa ̄ "put"), and 3) the problematic use of global rules in explaining compensatory lengthening in examples such as na ̄myen < *nah-imyen "give birth". These problems have been well known in previous analyses whose attempts to provide reasonable explanations have all failed. In this paper novel solutions to them are offered by making use of etymological reconstruction and preferential conditions on rules and the Principles governing their operation in Theoretical Phonology. In particular, the first problem is solved by reconstructing the underlying form of the verb o- "come" as *wΛ, whose stem vowel elides before vowel initial endings but undergoes contraction with the preceding w to become o: *wΛ-a >wa˘ but *wΛ-ta>ota. For the second and third problems, two new theoretical concepts are introduced to explain the rule ordering paradox and the use of global rules: 1) the principle of rule interruption that partially identical rules are interruptible and 2) the principle of strength conservation that morphological units such as words and syllables maintain a certain inherently constant strength.

Dongseok Kim & Yong-Ha Kim. 1999. Cost of Merge and Move. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 33-66. In this paper we argue against Chomsky`s (1995, 1998) assumption that Merge preempts Move, and claim that Merge and Move have the same status with respect to economy. We assume, following Collins (1997), that Merge involves copy and Merge just like Move, and the unique difference is that Move involves copying an already introduced element, whereas Merge involves copying a new element from the lexicon. Under this assumption, Numeration is unnecessary and Procrastinate is eliminated in favor of local economy. On the basis of Object Shift and multiple specifier constructions in Korean, we have shown that Merge as well as Move apply as Last Resort, and that whether to apply Merge or Move is contingent on the properties of the features that must be satisfied at each stage of a derivation. As a principle to decide between them, we have proposed Narrow Domain Principle and proved it successfully works on a wide range of relevant constructions.

Cheong Youn. 1999. Possessor Ascension and Multiple Nominative Constructions in Korean. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 67-94. A number of proposals have been made for the syntactic characterization of multiple nominative constructions in Korean, where the first nominal stands in a possessor relation to the second one. This paper analyzes the structures of the two types of these multiple nominative constructions, i.e. Possessor Ascension MNCs and Focus MNCs, within the framework of standard Relational Grammar, and argues that, despite their superficial similarities, these two constructions have different syntactic structures. That is, the first nominal in Possessor Ascension MNCs is an ascended final subject. while the first nominal in Focus MNCs is a focused nominal. In order to justify this analysis, this paper shows that each nominative-marked nominal in both types of MNCs behaves differently with respect to several syntactic phenomena which make crucial reference to subjecthood.

Jung, Hyun-Sook. 1999. Eine textlinguistische Untersuchung zur Artikel und Thema-Rhema-Gliederung. Studies in Modern Grammar 95-122. Die Textlinguistik betraf die Kritik die traditionelle Beschra¨nkung der Grammatik auf den Satz als unabha¨ngige und damit oberste linguistische Einheit und fu¨hrte zur Untersuchung transphrastischer, d. h. u¨ber den Satzrahmen hinaus wirkender grammatischer Erscheinungen in einer Textlinguistik. In den letzten Jahren ist im Bereich des Faches Deutsch als Fremdsprache bei den Lehrern ein wachsendes Interesse am didaktischen und methodischen Fragen der Textlinguistik im Unterricht zu bemerken. Als ein Schwerpunkt bescha¨ftige ich mich mit dem Thema eine textlinguistische Untersuchung zur Artikel und Thema-Rhema-Gliederung. Diese Erkenntnisse sollen helfen, das Textversta¨ndnis und die Fa¨higkeit zur eigensta¨ndigen Textproduktion bei deutschlernenden Koreanern zu verbessern. Das Ziel meiner Arbeit ist dabei, die Ursachen fur Lernschwierigkeiten zu beschreiben, mit denen aufgrund der linguistisch-stillistischen Unterschiede in deutschen und koreanischen Sprachen fu¨r die Reduzierung dieser Lemschwierigkeiten. Anschlie β end werden einige Konsequenzen fu¨r die Textkoha¨renz bzw. Die Praxis der Textproduktion und des Textversta¨ndnisses aufgezeigt. Dieser Aufsatz wurde von meiner Dissertation gea¨ndert und erganzt.

Lee, Sang-Oh. 1999. Chain Formation by Feature Checking and Scope Ambiguity. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 123-140. This paper aims at providing a plausible explanatory mechanism on the relative scope ambiguity between quantifiers in one sentence. Aoun & Li`s (1989, 1993) Minimal Binding Requirement and Scope Princsple, which have explained such ambiguity relations between quantifiers, leave some technical and conceptional problems in that some stipulations are to be required. However, the newly formed chains based on feature-checking in the minimalist theory suggested in Kitahara(1993), i.e., the distinct chains formed by feature-checking motivation based on the minimalist theory, give clear ways of explanation on the scope ambiguity between quantifiers in a sentence without any stipulations. Thus, following the present trends treating relative scope ambiguity relations without recourse to the rule of Quantifier Raising(QR) could be crucially supported by this kind of feature-checking approach to the scope ambiguity between quantifiers. Furthermore, it supports the argument for the quantification theory without recourse to the rule of QR.

Lee, Bok-hee. 1999. Focus, Topic and Activated Propositions in Information Qnestions. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 141-161. This study discusses the formal and pragmatic principles which govern the placement of sentence accent in English and Korean information question from the perspective of information packaging. I distinguish three kinds of pragmatic presupposition, which correspond to different kinds of assumptions a speaker may have concerning the addressee`s state of mind at the time of an utterance. All three are lexicogrammatically coded in sentence structure. The distinctions among these three presupposition types will play a crucial role in the argument presented in this paper.

Choi, Choong-lyeol. 1999. Conditional Perfection. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 163-178. The aim of this paper is to provide a framework to explain the so-called conditional perfection. We, first, show that the logical concept of material implication is inappropriate for the interpretation of the conditional perfection phenomena, and examine the earlier approaches, such as, Geis and Zwicky (1971), Atlas and Levinson (1981), Levinson (1983), Johnson-Laird (1983, 1986), and van der Auwera (1997), and show their defects. And we inquire into the cognitive approach which is based upon some basic concepts like worlds, cognitive principles and interpretation rules. With help of those concepts, we can solve many intricate problems well, which are caused in the proper explanation of conditional perfection phenomena as shown in section 3. This means that our linguistic theory should be constructed on the idea that our language is closely related to our cognitive activity.

Han, Sang Woo. 1999. How to Approach Old English Syntactic Structure. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 179-190. The aim of this paper is to show (a) that both the SOVI hypothesis and the double underlying structure hypothesis have some problems in the explanation of Old English syntactic structure, and (b) that in studying Old English syntactic structure, we must put our eyes on existing Old English manuscripts more than before. Old English was a language in the mist of a change from SOV to SVO word order. Therefore, we cannot approach Old English with current synchronic linguistic theories only. Finally I would like to emphasize the importance of studying Old English manuscripts in advance to modern linguistic theory, and propose a SIOV underlying structure with a leftward verb- movement rule to explain various types of Old English word orders.

Han, Sang-Ho. 1999. Directions for Learner-Centered English Education in the 21st Century. Studies in Modern Grammar 17, 191-206. This study proposes that, in the 21st century, English teaching in Korea should be implemented in a learner-centered way, not only in name, but in substance. The author initiates his arguments by attributing the reason for a loose application of learner-centeredness in Korea to its Confucian educational practice deep-rooted in history. He suggests that leaner-centered teaching will assist Korean English teachers to overcome the constraints of traditionalism in the new era. The author gives a brief overview of recent development of English language teaching from the prescientific era to structural linguistic, to cognitive linguistic, and finally to leaner-centered English education. He then conceptualizes learner-centeredness from the four perspectives which, combined together, have given birth to modern western traditions in foreign language education: humanistic movements in general education, communicative approach to curriculum developments, orientation towards individualized instruction, and process-oriented English education. Finally, the author goes into the details of open English education and self-directed learning. He argues that teachers need to have an in-depth awareness of learners` motivations, learning styles and strategies to be able to incorporate the traditional teacher-centered approach into more learner-based teaching. In order for this to be materialized, teachers should seek open-mindedness in their own teaching situations and develop professionally from the traditional status of `teacher as explainer` to `teacher as involver`, and even to `teacher as enabler` in the long run, in an effort to facilitate self-directed English learning.
