This paper examines the exceptional behavior of P-stranding under Sluicing in some languages which do not allow P-stranding under regular whmovement (cf. Merchant (2001)). Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Indonesian, in contrast to Greek and Czech, are in principle a prepositionpied- piping language, but they allow P-stranding under Sluicing that arguably derives from cleft structure or via repair-by-ellipsis. Still critical to this process of P-stranding under Sluicing is the identity-in-ellipsis requirement that the morpho-syntactic form of the surviving wh-expression in the sluiced clause matches the one that its overt or covert correlate expression would potentially take if it underwent regular wh-movement. Extending this generalization to ‘Sluicing’ and ‘Fragmenting’ in Korean, we show that the somewhat unexpected postposition stranding and omission of the wh- and fragment expression in these constructions of Korean also derive from (pseudo-)cleft structure, meeting the identity/parallelism condition on ellipsis.

Why the negation movement rule that negation in the embedded clause may move to the higher clause cannot be applied to the Korean bi-clausal structure where the negative concord item (i.e., NCI) undergoes the so-called exceptional case marking (i.e., ECM) is because the ECMed element occupies some position in the matrix clause. When the so-called CP anaphora kulehkey ‘so’ replaces the embedded clause of the ECM construction, the ECMed NPI cannot be incorporated in it. These observations are in accordance with Lee's (2006) argument that the ECMed element is in a non-thematic argument position of the matrix clause (i.e., Spec of the matrix vP). Merchant's (2004) and Park's (2013) suggestions that the invisible negative head in fragment constructions can only appear in the matrix clause, but not in the embedded clause reveal the secret that there arises a grammatical contrast between fragment answers to an ECMed wh-question and a matrix question containing a wh-question in the embedded clause. The NCI fragment as a response to the ECMed wh-question is slightly degraded but acceptable, whereas the NCI fragment as a response to a matrix question containing other wh-questions in the embedded clause is considerably degraded and unacceptable.

This paper is a revision of my earlier suggestion (2006) that the form of NPs is determined after all the features are specified for the computation under the assumptions of Multiple Spheres Hypothesis. Adopting the DM-based notions of morphological shaping (Heinat 2006, Safir 2011), I develop the proposal, arguing that the choice between the ‘-self’ form and the pronominal form is determined after the computation of root NPs is accomplished by Free Merge operation in multiple Membranes (Im 2013).

The purpose of this paper is to look into pro analysis in which null argument is identified as zero pronoun (namely, pro) for the Korean null argument constructions. It has been argued that the pro analysis is superior to the ellipsis analysis in which null argument is identified as empty NP. However, this paper points out that there still seem to be potential problems with the pro analysis. It is proven that the validity of continuation test which is provided as a test for the pro analysis is questionable in respects of theory and empiricism. Furthermore, it is shown in this paper that while under the pro analysis only sloppy like identity interpretation is yielded out in the Korean null argument constructions, in fact genuine sloppy identity interpretation is yielded out in them. This means that the ellipsis analysis must be still useful even though the pro analysis is more pervasive in explaining the Korean null argument constructions.

In this article we present the precise positions of XP and the finite verb moving to the functional categories in the Old English (OE) main clauses in association with the label algorithm advocated in Chomsky 2013. With V2 and V3 phenomena in Old English the previous studies did not show any consistent accounts on the moved positions of XP and the finite verb mingled with the status of OE pronouns in the main clauses. In the previous studies some proposed IP-V2 and others did CP-V2 in conjunction with the different status (clitic, weak pronoun or Agr clitic) of the OE Pronouns. In contrast we show a consistent account that XP moves to CP Spec and the finite verb moves to C in the OE V2 contexts including wh-clauses whereas XP moves to IP in the V3 clauses due to the label algorithm where the ϕ-feature of C and T makes two lexical items share prominent features in order to complete the labeling of CP and TP respectively.

Since the birth of the theories of conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy in cognitive linguistics, there have been massive advancements in the study thereof, leading to a focus of attention on the interactions between them. However, the studies of their interplay have mostly covered verbal expressions. The purpose of this study is not only to examine the systemic and elaborate patterns in which metaphor interacts with metonymy in a combination of verbal and visual languages using tools such as sequencing and cueing, but also to demonstrate the systemic process of realization of the two cognitive mechanisms. Moreover, I present the elements of Idealized Cognitive Models in metonymic mappings, including the relationship between domain and category. The data of the prototypical Great Chain of Being metaphor is ideal to achieve optimal accuracy and specificity in the study results.

The present study investigates kkunhe(yo) in telephone conversation closings in Korean. After laying down the theoretical foundations on the canonical telephone conversation closings and the termination vs. leave-taking views that Clark and French (1981) propose, it revisits previous studies on Korean telephone conversation closings and illustrates that some group all terminal exchanges together under leave-taking in spite of their apparent contact termination view. It then advocates for the termination view of kkunhe(yo) rather than the leave-taking view in light of the fact that it provides better explanations for the focus of kkunhe(yo) on the contact termination as a speech-act pair even when the second-pair part is filled in with a silent act of a hang-up. In so doing, the study also demonstrates that the termination view adequately differentiates kkunhe(yo) from other terminal exchanges (in particular, leave-taking exchanges such as annyeng).

The present study aims at reviewing the current thinking in the field of language testing and assessment, discussing limitations in language testing in Korean academia, and suggesting future directions of the research agenda in the language testing field. The findings of the study indicated that research on language testing in Korean academia for the last ten years focused on test washback and the two high stakes English tests, which are the College Scholastic Aptitude Test (CSAT) and the newly developed National English Ability Test (NEAT). In particular, studies on the CSAT were very limited to item analysis on the CSAT and related teaching strategies despite its symbolic significance in the Korean testing field. Research issues on the NEAT, however, seem to be conducted on a broader spectrum regardless when it should be implemented is still unclear with many political and social complications. Based on the review, the present study suggested that the research agenda of future studies needs to be focused on the following areas: Validation of the testing, non-credential tests of English, classroom-based assessment, a critical perspective on the uses of English testing, and sociocultural perspectives of testing in Korean society.
