In this paper, we will consider the status of two types of PP subjects in [Spec, TP]: inverted PP in locative inversion and non-inverted PP in PP subject constructions. On the basis of the assumption that the syntactic expression can be determinable under the meaning of the verb (Levin & Rappaport 1995), we will propose Unaccusativity Condition in order to explain the status of PP subjects. This condition claims that PPs in [Spec, TP] that denote a time, place, or manner are restricted to unaccusativity status of the verb. This functional approach provides us with a unified analysis of two kinds of PP subjects in [Spec, TP].

This paper proposes a new explanation of the well-known that-t effect, based on the assumption that the head-head relation is a matter of PF rather than of syntax. After critical review of some Minimalist approaches (Roussou 2002, Roberts and Roussou 2001, Pesetsky and Torrego 2001, 2002), a PF-based solution is proposed in terms of a generalization on the lexical realization of heads. In particular, this paper argues that the first head that is compatible with agreement must lexically host the Agr-feature of T on a phase basis. This solution turns out to be applicable to various data regarding the that-t effects across languages.

This paper explores how the operation of the interpretive complex (hit) is derived by phase heads (C, v, D), when the non-genitive possessor in the inalienable possession construction can undergo the peripheral movement (or A`-movement). The peripheral movement is only to induce structural configuration for focus, topic, operator, etc., at the edge of a phase, rather than to maintain feature-matching for Agree (Chomsky 2004). The analysis put forward in this paper is based on Chomsky`s (2004) recent claim that the peripheral movement is a non-Agree-driven movement, or a free internal merge to the edge of a phase due to the edge feature of the phase head (cf. Yang 2005). That is, edge effects are particularly motivated by an edge feature-driven movement. PIC forces movement to proceed successive-cyclically phase by phase. Three such pieces of evidence come from observations about the peripheral movement of the non-genitive possessor, Int effect and anaphor binding.

This article explores the nature of locality principle. In particular, we compare two recent conceptions of locality, which are Chomsky`s (2001a, 2001b) phase-based implementation of locality and Hiraiwa`s (2003) version of cyclic derivational locality. We present a new piece of empirical arguments against Hiraiwa (2003) from locality circumvention effects observed in passivization of applicative structures. We show that the locality circumvention phenomenon induced by wh-movement of a higher internal argument when a lower internal argument undergoes passivizing A-movement past it in low applicative structures cannot be explained under Hiraiwa`s cyclic locality computation, whereas it can be well accounted for under Chomsky`s phase-based evaluation view, which is a partly representational version of locality principle.

The primary purpose of the paper is to show that such phenomena as the cliticization of weak pronouns, TH/EX in there constructions and the wh-movement from extracted nominals can fall under one generalization called "defocusing", a pragmatic operation that cannot be applied twice to the same syntactic object. We argue, in this paper, TH/EX is not a PF operation but a pragmatic operation before Spell-Out. In our model, syntactic objects should go through all the syntactic and/or pragmatic operations before they reach the interface and lexical insertion is a 24hr outlet rather than a one-fell-swoop operation.

Korean HOW, i.e. ettehkey, unlike its English counterpart, i.e. how, does not show island effects. There have been several approaches entertained in the literature to account for the island insensitivity:T. Chung`s (1991) VP adjunct analysis and an ECP account; D. Chung`s (1996) nominal analysis and a binding account; Yang`s (1997) d-linking analysis and an ECP account; and D. Chung`s (2000a) predicate analysis and an ECP account. As reviewed in Chung (2000a), the first two analyses bear some critical empirical and/or theoretical problems. Pointing out that the third and fourth approaches also face some empirical and/or theoretical problems, this paper proposes an alternative analysis, a revised nominal analysis, in which ettehkey is decomposed into four sub-parts: e-tte-ha-key,`Det-N-do-adverbializer`. The second element, i.e. -tte, is diagnosed as a nominal element because the first element, i.e. e-, as a determiner, requires a nominal complement and the third element, i.e. -ha, as a transitive verb, requires a nominal complement. The proposed analysis gains support from the morphological paradigms that Korean WH-elements display. Given this revised nominal analysis, the scope of HOW in Korean can be licensed via binding, accounting for the lack of island effects.

This article is a historical study on the distinction between to-infinitives and bare infinitives. Generally, the to-infinitive denotes the futuristic, indirect potential event, while the bare infinitive denotes the direct one. This meaning distinction between the two infinitival constructions has been persistent through the long history of English, as argued in Fischer(1995, 1996a, 1996b, 1997a, 1997b, 2000). The issue is how and from what this meaning difference is derived. The common account is structural, saying that the to-infinitive has the clausal status such as IP or CP with the inflectional element inside, while the bare-infinitive has the small clause structure such as VP. This account assumes that the infinitival marker to is a meaningless grammatical element(INFL). However, it is argued in this article that the infinitival to is a lexical element having its own lexical meanings and that these lexical meanings of the to are the maintenance of its original prepositional characters. In other words, the lexical meanings of the infinitival to, derived from its original prepositional category, has not been wiped out, although the meanings were a little weakened in ME for a while. The conclusion is that the meanings of the to-infinitives such as futurity and indirectness are due to the morpheme to itself, not to the structure caused by its presence.

This study is designed to help to understand the Korean EFL teachers` experiences of computer-mediated communication(CMC) focused on the topics of collaborative computer-mediated interaction. With respect to one of the major conditions for collaborative learning, we should recognize that it occurs when the communicators actively and willingly cooperate based on strong motivation. Moreover, we should understand how the both sides help each other to achieve collaborative communication in the target language. Therefore, this study explores what the participants` motivation for collaborative experiences is like, how native/nonnative speakers perceive these motivation, what the main factors interfering with nonnative speakers` collaborative learning are, and how the both sides endeavor to enhance more desirable environment for collaborative interaction.

The purpose of the study is to explore whether input enhancement as a subtype of FonF can be proven feasible and productive as part of normal classroom work and whether it can assist in learners` long-term progress in English. 80 freshmen who enrolled general English at a Korean university were divided into an experimental group and a control group and read the text in one of two conditions: no enhancement, relative-clause enhancement. The results demonstrated the translation task scores obviously showed the effect of input enhancement. The enhanced text of relative-clause led to learning relative-clause as a target linguistic structure. Second, the effect of relative-clause enhancement text was significant on reading comprehension test as well as on translation task. The interesting result was that the effects on relative-clause learning and reading comprehension were retained in the follow-up posttest conducted four weeks later. The study proposed that learners` linguistic developmental system have been affected by the enhanced relative-clause text generated by learners` need and that their interlanguage system be reconstructed.

This research deals with teaching techniques of the English vocabulary. The study reviews the characteristics of the vocabulary; what types of the vocabulary there are, what it means when we know a word and what aspect of words we teach. After discussing the theory of the vocabulary teaching, the study introduces sample vocabulary exercises developed by others and the author, and the results of English classes which was experimented on with emphasis on the vocabulary teaching. The study concludes that teaching English with emphasis on the vocabulary improves English proficiency and communicative competence as well. The study suggests that it be very helpful to have students understand the importance of vocabulary and learn vocabulary effectively and systematically to improve their English proficiency.
