Sookhee Lee. 2000. On the Semi-Lexical Status of Korean `come` and `go`. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 1-20. In this paper, I argue that Korean motion verbs such as o-`come` and ka-`go`, when they come in serializing constructions, are neither truly lexical nor purely functional, but rather SEMI-LEXICAL. First of all, I discuss the functional behavior of `come` and `go` in monoclausal serial structure, based on sentential adverb position, argument projection, mode of composition with the full verb, and other criteria. I then argue that semantic bleaching or semantic weakening found in these verbs entails diachronic change. Syntactic and semantic investigation on these verbs reveals that they are in the process of syntactic-lexical transition, say grammaticalization. It is supported by cross-linguistic observations on other verb-serializing languages such as Yoruba and Chinese. My account for the grammaticalization of `come` and `go` makes a prediction about the occurrence of a different type of semi-lexical category in non-serializing languages; for instance, a certain group of prepositions or particles. This kind of prepositional particles are also not purely grammatical, in that they contribute an additional semantic information of their own to the meaning specified by their lexical head verb. This fact is related to a categorial parametric variation found among languages.

Keon Soo Lee and Seung-ju Yeo. 2000. Restructuring Infinitives in Korean. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 21-48. This paper argues that Wurmbrand`s (1998) analysis of restructuring infinitives is on the right track. Her analysis denies the implicit assumption that all infinitives have the same syntactic structure, CP/TP. The auxiliary verb construction in Korean has an infinitival complement which behaves as if it lacks clausal nodes; they allow NP licensing and honorification both of which cannot hold if there is a clausal boundary in between. Furthermore, this transparency effect is correlated with the absence of tense morphemes and complementizer in the auxiliary verb construction. However, unlike Wurmbrand`s assumption that restructuring infinitives are bare-VP, we argue that the infinitive complement of the auxiliary verb construction in Korean is vP on the basis of case alternations and the imperfect control.

Sang-soo Park. 2000. Causative Alternations in English. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 49-71. In order to explicate the lexical properties of causative alternation verbs, pure unaccusative verbs and unergative verbs associated with argument structures simultaneously and to examine their differences in syntactic structures in principle, we propose the revised semantic feature complexes specified as [±Externally caused eventuality] and [±Internally caused eventuality]. The cause that pure unaccusative verbs select a single-internal argument in the underlying structure can be shown if we consider the historical evidence that unaccusative verbs of present-day English originate from the impersonal verbs of Old English that were used without subject.

Young-Seok Choi. 2000. Possessor Ascension and Lexical Passive. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 73-86. It has been traditionally assumed among Korean linguists that there is no fundamental distinction between the lexical (or morphological) passive and the syntactic passive constructions in Korean. This paper questions this assumption centering around a typical relational grammar analysis of a particular construction which seemingly involves both passive and possessor ascension. It will be argued that despite the intuitive plausibility of the `passive` analysis, syntactic and phonological evidence points to the conclusion that neither possessor ascension nor passive is involved in the construction under question.

Heung-Su Im. 2000. Russian Idioms as Reflection of the Characteristics of National Mentality. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 87-114. The primary purpose of this article is to examine the relationships between language and spiritual culture, language and national mentality, with special reference to the process of embodiment of national culture in the idioms and the semantic im portance of cultural connotations realized in them which reflect the characteristics of national mentality. Analyzing various types of idioms, we will show that the cultural and the anthropological factors work on the formation of the idioms, and that the idioms functions as paradigm of national mentality and cultural code. We will also reveal that not only the national identity but also the certain collective self-consciousness resulting from the definite cultural or temporal sphere in society can be reflected in the formation of the idioms.

Young-Bo, Shim. 2000. An Analysis of Contemporary Russian Lexical Words as Cultural Semantic Units. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 115-147. The discordance of a word meaning in two languages usually occurs due to the difference in the nature and in the cultural characteristics of each people. Therefore, research in terms of non-conceptional semantic units is needed for scholastic reasons as well as for foreign language learning. In particular, an exact analysis and classification of the words with tendency to a tinge of culture which do not have perfect synonyms in translation may essentially be necessary for the proper translation of skillful and sophisticated Russian language, which has experienced a lot of changes in its language system during the complications of the collapse of socialism from seventies through nineties. The purpose of this study is to present the cultural analysis of non-translation words (non-equivalent words) found in modern Russian literature based on the theoretical approach of the Russian lexical words. The major three subjects of the research are established for achieving the purpose of this research: Characteristic analysis and theoretical approach of contemporary Russian lexical words as cultural semantic units; Classification and analysis of nonequivalent words presented in the work of Yuri Trifonof; The analysis of linguistic and local research value in nonequivalent words.

Kangsub Lee. 1998. Does Grammar Instruction Interact with Learning Style? Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 149-181. This study extended earlier studies regarding the effects of interactive small group tasks as opposed to traditional teacher-fronted grammar lessons. In particular, it investigated the effects of individual learning styles on students` achievement via the two instructional methods. A "Learning Style Profile" adapted from the Learning Style Profile (Keefe & Monk, 1986) was administered to a large group of Korean EFL college students to assess their learning styles and to establish associations between elements of their learning styles and their achievement on the proficiency tests. In particular, students were considered according to the type of formal instruction they received: grammar task group, grammar lesson group, and non-grammar group. The results of this study showed that learning style preferences were able to predict more than 70% of the participants with respect to which instructional method worked best for them. In addition, aptitude by treatment interaction analyses showed that visual learning style is best accommodated by traditional teacher-fronted grammar lessons. In sum, these findings indicate that formal grammar instruction is facilitated when there is a match between the instructional method and the learners` learning style.

Sung-Hyuk Park. 2000. A Note on Multiple Matching/Agreement. Studies in Modern Grammar 21, 183-199. In order to account for Case agreement between T and the participle (PRT), or between v* and PRT in languages like Icelandic, Chomsky (1999) makes use of multiple matching/agreement, assuming that deleted features are still visible to narrow-syntactic operations up until the strong phase level CP or v*P. The purpose of this squib is to show that Chomsky`s assumption that deleted features remain visible until the strong phase level gives rise to a conceptual problem, which might undermine the system of multiple matching/agreement. In order to overcome the problem, we suggest two alternatives, each with its own shortcomings, however. One is to assume that deleted features are literally deleted, that is, they are invisible to the operations of narrow syntax. The other is to assume that all deletion operations take place at once at the strong phase, at which point the phase is transmitted to the phonological component. Since the main purpose of this squib is simply to show that Chomsky`s (1999) assumption regarding the Case checking of PRT may bring about a subtle conceptual problem, however, the squib will not attempt to make a decision between these alternatives.
