The present study compares two approaches to syllabification in Harmonic Serialism (HS): one as a distinct phonological operation and the other as a non-distinct operation. According to McCarthy (2007), GEN in Harmonic Serialism is confined to a single unfaithful operation at a time. If syllabification is a non-distinct and automatic operation, it can apply in a single pass to a series of segments (McCarthy 2009). However, if syllabification is treated as a distinct and separate operation (Elfner 2009), it has to take place sequentially, each syllable generated in a separate step just like other unfaithful operations such as deletion, insertion, or feature change. By adopting the framework of HS, this study considers an interaction between tensing, a feature changing operation, and consonant cluster simplification. The findings of this study are that syllabification in HS should be a distinct operation, confirming the argument of Elfner (2009), and that HS gives a better account of opacity in tensing than OT-CC does in terms of descriptive and explanatory adequacy.

Since McCawley (1993), D-sharing constructions, where certain determiner can be omitted from the non-initial conjunct in coordinated structures, have been in the spotlight. What is essential is that D-sharing depends on Gapping and the shared determiner must be conjunct-initial. We first show that Lin`s (2000, 2002) DP-partitioning approach is problematic, and then argue that D-sharing is elucidated by a multiple dominance approach. Inspired by Johnson`s (1996/2004) small conjunct approach to Gapping and Citko`s (2006) multiple dominance approach to D-sharing, we argue that shared structures can be linearized, if a shared constituent undergoes movement out of the coordination site, which makes the shared position unpronounced. Since the shared position is not regulated by the Linear Correspondence Axiom after movement, it causes no problem for linearization. We also show that the optionality of Gapping in wh-D-sharing results from a particular height of coordination.

English displays a variety of complex properties in comparatives. In particular, it employs three main types of comparatives: comparative total-deletion (CTD), comparative subdeletion (CSD), partitive comparative deletion (PCD). In this paper, we first look into the grammatical properties of these three types of comparatives in English and provide a construction-based perspective with the mechanism of inheritance. This perspective, allowing us to tease part the similarities and differences among the three types of comparatives, can provide us a reasonable way to explain the phenomena in question.

The purpose of this paper is to reconfirm that the null arguments (the null subject and null object) in Korean should be identified as empty NPs, not as pro under Kim`s (1991) argument ellipsis analysis, not under Huang`s (1984, 1987) null-topic variable analysis, Otani and Whitman`s (1991) VP ellipsis Analysis, and Moon`s (2010) pro analysis. To begin with, the merits and drawbacks of the three analyses except Kim`s analysis are examined: especially we focus on Moon`s analysis because she claims that the null arguments should be identified as pro in Korean unlike the argument in the analysis we adopt. According to the argument ellipsis analysis we take, the null NPs in the object position must be empty NPs with no featural content. Using the analysis, we attempts to solve the problems we find in the three analyses. Furthermore, in this paper we apply Kim`s analysis to the null NPs in the subject position and argue that they, too, should be treated as empty NPs because the property of these NPs is the same as that of the NPs the object position in that they can allow sloppy identity readings and strict identity readings. As a result, we reached that the null arguments in Korean must be empty NPs, contra Moon`s analysis.

This paper takes a hybrid approach, combining the time and causality frame approaches to examine the interchangeability between should and must, which are epistemic modal auxiliary verbs that indicate logical inference and deduction. It is argued that only must is used when deduction is temporally situated at the present or in the past and directed from consequences to causes, but only should is used when the same process is situated in the future and directed from causes to consequences. The paper also shows either should or must are used in the remaining two types of cases-that is, those in which the process of deduction regards future situations and moves from effects to causes, and those in which deduction regards present or past situations and moves from causes to effects.

This paper deals with some arguments against Lee (2009) made in Chung (2010a): the former argues for the verb-initial single clause analysis to the right dislocated construction in Korean and the latter argues for the verb- final double clause analysis to the construction. In this paper, I confirm that Lee`s arguments still remain valid by pointing out some loopholes of Chung`s arguments.

This paper suggests that wh-arguments such as ``who`` and ``what`` are DP-arguments, whereas a wh-adjunct ``why`` is an NP-adverbial (introduced by a null preposition). Under this proposal, it will be claimed that wh-arguments can check the u[Wh] within the DP without movement due to the presence of the head D bearing the [Q], whereas a wh-adjunct ``why`` must move to check its u[Wh] due to lack of the D. This claim will be illustrated by the asymmetry arising between wh-arguments and wh-adjunct ``why`` in the Islands in Korean/Japanese, supporting that the Phase Impenetrability Condition constrains covert wh-movement as well as overt wh-movement.

From a theoretical perspective, linguistic phenomena are explained in terms of "levels of representations" such as phonology, syntax, pragmatics, and the like. To better understand the nature of the language faculty, however, it is significant to explore the various interfaces between "levels of representations" in which one module reflects the other. In this article, it will be examined that phonological phrasing reflects syntactic cycle and focus affects phonological phrasing in Korean. Phonological rephrasing triggered by focus will be accounted for under the Multiple Spell-Out model (Uriagereka 1999, Chomksy 2000, 2001; Dobashi 2003, 2006)

This paper illustrates a strong bond between the genre constitutions of reading textbooks and the improvement of EFL learners` reading proficiency arising therefrom. Textbooks should be as simple as possible within the proficiency level of EFL learners. The advisability of simplified and authentic texts is recommended for their reading texts. Authentic simple texts should be devised or located in the real world. Peering into whether reading texts contain simple, suitable, exploitable, and readable contents, which should be a desideratum on an authentic textbook, this paper argues that only when reading texts are properly constituted to encompass EFL learners` interest in English, a genuine learner-minded activity in which students focus on the class can be implemented. In a bid to nail the key elements of the reading textbooks, this paper analyzes their components and contexts based on several genre categories. Along with the belief that reading texts should contain the genres to advocate considerable attention to EFL learners with intermediate-level reading proficiency and to encourages them to move on to a higher-level proficiency, this paper claims that the genres of reading textbooks should not swing too far one way, but the constitutions should be kept in equilibrium.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the patterns of scaffolding in the English classes at a Kindergarten. For the purpose of the study, a survey was conducted to forty English teachers who were working in private kindergartens to find out their perception of English class and the use of scaffolding patterns. Among the survey participants, two teachers were selected for class observation. Their storytelling and phonics classes were videotaped once per week for a period of six weeks. The analysis of teachers` scaffolding showed that repetition, praise, and hints were most frequently used in both storytelling and phonics classes. The observed scaffolding patterns were similar to the results of the survey, suggesting that the teachers tended to rely on the limited patterns of scaffolding in their feedback. The study has implications for teachers` feedback and classroom interaction, especially with young learners of English.

This paper aims to explore Korean genitive noun phrases ``N1의 N2`` that are also translated in French as genitive noun phrases ``N2 de N1``. My discussion centers on describing two things: (a) What are linguistic factors by which N1 and N2 in Korean not accompanying any article are respectively preceded by one of the two articles: the indefinite article and the definite article. (b) What are linguistic environments by which N1 and N2 in Korean can be respectively translated in French as one of the four noun phrases: generic noun phrases, specific noun phrases, non-specific noun phrases and predicative noun phrases.
