Jong-Bok Kim. 2003. Focus Projections in English, Korean, and Greek and Their Topological Implications. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 1-23. One of the important issues in information packaging theory is how to capture the projection of focus at sentence level. This paper shows that in three typological different languages (English: SVO, Korean: SOV, Greek: VSO), the order in argument structure (rather than linear order) plays an important role in determining various possibilities of inheritance of focus. This paper proposes that what is relevant for determining the possibility of VP focus in such cases is the argument structure ordered not in terms of theta-roles but in terms of grammatical relations. The need for such a level of argument structure gets strong motivations from phenomena such as binding, control, relativization, and so forth. Following this line, we assume that the argument structure with grammatical functions is ordered as SUBJ-OBJ-OBJ2-OBLIQUE in which if A precedes B in the argument-structure, A has a higher rank than (i. e. outranks) B. This comparative study among three typologically different languages reveals that the variations in the ordering of grammatical functions induce the differences in focus projections. In addition, the focus projections in the three languages support the view that the argument structure hierarchy is the locus of focus projection.

Soonhyuck Park. 2003. Coordination in Korean: sharing or ellipsis. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 25-42. One of the issues of the coordinate construction is to determine the size of the conjunct. In this paper, I examine two approaches to the coordinate structure in Korean, focusing particularly on -ko coordination. By doing so, I will point out some problems of sharing analysis (VP) and ellipsis analysis (TP), and propose that the parallel reading of coordination can be obtained under the enlarged TP-level sharing analysis under a single MoodP, in which both conjuncts have the independent T and Neg. The extraction of the inflected verb out of the second conjunct triggers a violation of the Coordinate Structure Constraint. I propose that this can be remedied by reconstruction at LF, assuming that the tense and negation are interpreted at their base position (Fox(2000), Lin(2002)). It is also shown that reconstruction can`t be implemented with respect to Neg when there is an overt tense morpheme in the first conjunct. This blocking effect is also found in Italian, where the negative quantifier is also proposed to be interpreted after reconstruction at LF, but the intervening TP functions as a barrier in reconstruction (Zanuttini (1997)). This is one of the consequences which can be obtained under the enlarged version of sharing analysis.

Dong-Whee Yang. 2003. Optionality, Output effects and the EPP. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 43-68. This paper claims that optionality is part of the `optimal design` for natural language in the sense that it is bound to induce some `effect on outcome` which should also be some necessary part of natural language. Specifically, it is argued that the optionality in the Korean Case system, an `imperfection` in the minimalist sense, is justified as an `apparent imperfection` in terms of output effects, or Int effects (Chomsky 2000), which are shown to be two types: A-type and B-type. The A-type Int effects are `week` like specificity, definiteness, thematicity, etc., being interpreted at the canonical Specs, whereas the B-type Int effects are `strong` like focus, specialized semantic function. etc., being interpreted at the non-canonical Specs. The A-type Int effects are claimed to be due to lexically-posited EPP-features whereas the B-type Int effects are claimed to be due to derivationally-introduced EPP-features. Lexically-posited EPP-features are either obligatory or optional whereas derivationally-introduced EPP-features are only optional. It is shown that the interface strategy in terms of output Int effects is superior to Hiraiwa`s (2002) ф-over-ф generalization in the accounts for obligatoriness of the EPP-feature.

This paper aims to examine the logical and semantic meanings of wh-movement in English, by taking up individual and pair-list readings available in a sentence in which a quantifier like everyone is contained. Not following the movement hypotheses, I instead take the argument by Rooth (1992, 1996) and Ramchand (1996). I assume that a wh-phrase is contrastive-focused and a contrastive-focused phrase provides a set of relevant things, which contains the meaning of wh-questions. I claim that to derive a correct meaning related to scope of wh-phrases, wh-movement is not necessarily required. This paper also considers the syntactic-semantic derivations of wh-questions in English, to find out an alternative method of the interpretations of wh-phrases.

Kiyang Kwon. 2003. `That-t` Effects and the C-T Relation. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 89-110. In this paper, we will consider the account of subject extraction out of `that`-clauses based on the split C strategy (Szczegielniak 1999) and the C-T Agree relation (Pesetsky and Torrego 2001) and point our their problems. According to Pesetsky and Torrego (2001), the C-T Agree relation is morphologically expressed in two ways: by merging `that` or merging the feature content of T (along with Agr) in C. However, we have assumed that if `do` in English is associated with a question, it is not independently attested as the realization of T but the realization of Q in c, serving as the interrogative morpheme. To obtain this argument, we have proposed the Q-feature of C as a property to determine the type of a clause. The Q-feature of C plays a role of distinguishing an interrogative C from a declarative C and can serve as a probe to seek the element with the interrogative morpheme, such as `-ni` in Korean.

Hong Bae Lee. 2003. The Spec-Head Relation: its Reign and Fall. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 111-139. The Spec-Head relation has been one of the most important syntactic relations in generative grammar. The present paper will review the consequences of adopting the Spec-Head relation as a kind of government relation in the GB-theory, and the expanding role of the relation in the early Minimalist Program, and will investigate some of the (unnecessary) assumptions and principles that have to be postulated by employing the relation in linguistic analysis. Then, I will discuss the consequences of the claim that the Interface Conditions (IC?). I will also point out that the IC? requires we reconsider/reanalyze Ura`s (1996, 2000) multiple feature checking analysis and Yang`s (2000) multiple Agree analysis of the so-called "multiple Spec constructions" in Languages like Korean and Japanese. I will propose a new parameter for the constructions for further research.

Ji-Ryong, Lim. 2003. The Metaphorical Conceptualisation of Basic Emotions in Korean. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 141-167. The purpose of this study is to show metaphorical aspects of basic emotional expressions, focusing on the meaning extension of verbs, in terms of experientialism and folk models of cognitive linguistics. In this study the aspects of the metaphorical conceptualisation of basic emotions in Korean have been explored concerning six classes of verbs expressing `anger`, `fear`, `hate`, sadness`, `joy`, and `love` based on the semantic extension of a target domain by a source domain. The results of his study are as follows. First, the source domains applicable to all the basic emotions are `a fluid in a container`, `a thing`, `a plant`, and `food`. Second, such source domains as `a fluid in a container`, `a thing`, `a plant`, and `food` have a scenario of `the occurrence of an emotion` → `its growth` → `its disappearance`. Third, conceptual metaphors by `a fluid in a container`, `food`, `an enemy`, `a natural force` are based on physiological metonymy. Fourth, there are some differences in the aspects of metaphorical conceptualisation of negative emotions and positive ones.

Jae-Suk Suh. 2003. The process-based writing activity framed on CALL: Its effect on writing attitudes and writing proficiency of EFL learners. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 169-203. The paper investigated the effects of the process-based writing activity designed with the frame of CALL on both EFL learners` attitudes toward writing in English and their writing proficiency. 52 college students participated in a study in which they worked in pairs to write about a topic chosen by themselves by going through various stages of writing from the beginning to the end for six weeks. Data were collected via two differing methods: questionnaires and writing samples (i. e., first and final drafts). To find out the effect of the process-oriented writing activity within CALL on subjects attitudes toward writing in English, two differing kinds of questionnaires were administered to subjects before and after the writing activity. To determine whether the writing activity plays a facilitating role in the improvement of subjects writing activity plays a facilitating role in the improvement of subjects writing ability, 26 sets of the first and final drafts were compared analytically to each other in five aspects of writing. The results of the study indicated that though there existed some aspects of writing remaining unchanged irrespective of the writing activity, overall, subjects showed more positive attitudes toward writing in English after the writing activity than they did prior to the activity. Similarly, though subjects were not able to fully succeed in improving their writing ability in all the five aspects of writing, they did show the promotion of writing skill in such aspects of writing, as fluency, organization, and mechanics. Based on the findings, some suggestions were given for the creation of positive writing attitude and for the improvement of writing ability in EFL classrooms.

Heung-Su Im. 2003. Concept "Woman" in Russian phraseological units. Studies in Modern Grammar 32, 205-220. Most of the Russian phraseological units(PU) reflect the ethnic-cultural experience of the Russian people. Essentially the functional approach to the correlation of the peculiarities of ethnic culture and phraseology is a topical problem of investigations in phraseology. The study of the question gives an opportunity to regard the ontological picture of language as a social phenomenon. This paper aims at analysing the peculiarities of the semantic structure of the PU and the semantic importance of cultural cannotations realized in them which reflect the characteristics of national mentality. The PU play a special role in cultural heritage and ethnic identity because the picture of world of ethnic culture is realized in the metaphorical contents of the phraseology. We will analyze various types of the PU as much as possible to describe the above-mentioned facts in this paper. The PU realize the cultural heritage of the speakers, at the same time, work on the formation of their collective consciousness. Therefore, the culturally colored picture of world works on the speakers, by shaping cultural and linguistic self-consciousness through the reflection in language. In the process of analysis, it is revealed 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 PU.
