The cognitive attitude verb KNOW in most languages typically selects for a factive complement (Kiparsky and Kiparsky 1970). It is noted in the literature (Lee 1978, 1999; Kiefer 1978, Őzyildiz 2017, a.o.), however, that KNOW in some languages may take various forms of complements and that factivity varies depending on the complement types. An obvious generalization made is that nominalized complements tend to convey a factive reading, while non-nominal ones tend not to (Kastner 2015). This work makes it clear that for a clause selected by KNOW to have a factive reading, it not only bears a nominal feature but also carries a structural case. This paper additionally points out the following three issues and discusses their theoretical implications as to the syntax and semantics of attitudinal predicate constructions: (i) Cognitive attitude verbs may simultaneously take a nominalized clause and a predicational clause; (ii) The non-factive KNOW in the three languages commonly displays neg-raising and naturally anti-rogativity, siding with doxastic (belief) verbs; (iii) Lexically negated forms of these verbs select only for a nominalized (factive) clause.

It has been generally assumed that phrasal verbs in English are primitive in nature, either as a base form or as a derived form. Even the latest studies posit that the alternative surface forms of a transitive phrasal verb such as take out in take the trash out and take out the trash are constructed from that phrasal verb itself by verb movement. This paper argues that phrasal verbs are not purely primitives but possibly derivatives. They can be derived from their reverse combinations, what we call particle verbs. The paper supports this argument by examining a set of transitive particle verbs in English, e.g. downplay in downplay the incident. It also uses the notion of verb movement and proposes a unified analysis of both the particle verbs and their V-P alternants such as play down the incident and play the incident down.

This paper newly discusses the anaphoric pro-clause construction from Korean in which the relative clause is replaced by the pro-form kulen, and attempts to account for its morphological and syntactic properties under the head-intial hypothesis for Korean. I propose that the copy of the raised relative clause is resumed as pro-form. I then argue that the head-initial approach offers simpler, superior derivations of various examples of this construction including right-dislocated ones than the head-final approach. In particular, the results of the discussions show why the head-final bi-clausal approach fails to deal with right-dislocation facts.

The goal of this paper is to examine a rather interesting paradigm involving mixed clausal coordination, where different types of clauses (finite CPs, ECM, and control infinitives) are coordinated. It will be shown that the paradigm in question has consequences for several phenomena; in particular it sheds light on the controversial issue of the proper analysis of PRO as well as the issue of whether the SpecvP where the subject is base-generated is higher or lower than the SpecvP which serves as the landing site of object shift.

Based on theoretical observations that the theory of Movement or Displacement has the problem of Economy, an alternative way of computation called Simultaneous Merge in Multidimension is suggested. Instead of step-wise Merge of full-fledged features and cyclic, or phase by phase derivation of structures, one-fell swoop of Merge in Multi-dimension for occurrences of copies with different sets of underspecified features is assumed. Only specified occurrences survive into interfaces, where they are concatenated under the principle of Inclusion operating on the comparative set properties between occurrences.

Li and Thomson (1976) propose that English is a subject prominent language. In this paper, however, I propose that English makes use of both subject-predicate and topic-comment structures. More precisely, there are three types of clausal structure in English: subject-predicate, topic-comment, and a combination of both. This is on the basis of the syntactic patterns of preposed PPs. In English there are three types of preposed PPs: referential PPs, locational PPs, and directional PPs. This paper shows that Referential PP Inversion is a Subject- Predicate construction, Directional PP Inversion is a Topic-Comment construction, and Locational PP Inversion is a combination of both.

The question I raise in this paper is why the Japanese counterpart of the sprouting type of sluicing does not appear to show island sensitivity. I argue that this apparent difference is attributed to another well-established one between these two languages: pro- drop vs. non-pro-drop languages. Thus, sluices are not real instances of the sprouting-type but rather of the merger type, which has an overt correlate in the antecedent clause, i.e., indefinite pro in relevant cases. As substantial evidence for this proposal, I demonstrate that indefinite pro actually functions as a correlate to a sluice in Japanese by examining how it behaves with respect to scopal parallelism. Given this, it is predicted that in Japanese sluicing examples, the implicit correlates that are identified as indefinite pro can take wide scope, unlike truly implicit correlates.

The seminal work such as Abney (1987) and Szabolcsi (1983, 1994) suggests that noun phrases have sentence-like structures. More specifically, noun phrases have functional categories analogous to I or C. The views raise the following question. How parallel are structures of clauses and noun phrases? In order to answer the question, we focus on interesting asymmetries which occur between nominal structures and clausal structures. More specifically, this paper explores restrictions on non-occurrence of so-called genitive markers previously discussed by An (2009, 2012, and 2014) and impossibility of movement inside the nominal domain. We also discuss further asymmetries related to quantifiers and adverbials which are not properly analyzed in the previous literature. We show that non-parallel behaviors are explained under the assumption that positions related to discourse are not available inside nominal domains.

This paper particularly brings Epstein, Kitahara, and Seely’s (EKS 2014) suggestion into critical consideration and tries to make an alternative to their suggestion. What is interesting in EKS’s (2014) proposal is that they argue for the unnecessity of such concepts as numeration and lexical array, and even for the elimination of phases. Though it has been taken for granted that computational complexities are resolved by transferring some stages of a derivation as chunks to the interfaces and then continuing the derivation as such, EKS (2014) apparently prove that we can use the labeling algorithm to resolve the computational complexities in the way that some chunks are constructed even without phases. In this paper, we will see that the concepts of lexical array and numeration are necessary, despite the plausibility of EKS’s suggestion. Furthermore, it will be shown that with the independent necessity of those concepts, we still need the concept of phase as the basic unit of derivation and transfer.

This paper is an attempt to provide a syntactic account of the English gerund in the framework of Distributed Morphology (DM) where a word is formed in the syntax (Marantz 1997, Harley and Noyer 1999, Alexiadou 2001). English gerunds are well known for the fact that they do not seem to fit well with the basic distinction of categories: Noun, Verb, Adjective and Preposition. They are said to be nominal and verbal at the same time. English gerunds are divided into the three kinds: Clausal Gerunds (CGs), Verbal Gerunds (VGs) and Nominal Gerunds (NGs). Differences between VGs and NGs are presented in comparison with each other with respect to the degree of their verbal properties. The more verbal properties of VGs is evidenced by their distinct characteristics such as a selection of an accusative complement, adverbial modification, compatibility with auxiliary verbs, and availability of Neg not like any other verb. The least verbal properties of NGs indicate that they take PP complements rather than accusative complements and allow adjectival modification and the co-occurrence with determiners just like any other NP/DP. The more verbalhood of VGs may be ascribed to the presence of the functional heads like voice and v while the less verbalhood of NGs to the absence of the same verbal functional heads.

This paper investigates the syntax of multiple wh’s in Korean, especially when such multiple wh’s are of reduplicative form. Particularly focusing on locality in deriving a pair-list interpretation in the construction at issue, we argue that the clause-boundedness restriction follows from quantifier raising (QR) and absorption that multiple wh’s undergo. At the same time, we examine how Dayal’s (1996) wh-triangle and Watanabe’s (1992) additional wh effects materialize in Korean multiple wh-constructions, providing a comparativesyntactic account for the issues at hand. Meantime, we also investigate the issue of how Pesetsky’s (1987) D-linking comes into play in the construction in question.

Semantic priming refers to a tendency that language processing is facilitated in case that words are semantically related to each other due to a language user’s knowledge and prior experience. Hence, semantic priming can be considered as a tool to assess language processors’ implicit index of semantic relatedness. The purpose of the present study is to investigate 1) whether teenaged EFL learners will show semantic priming effects on gender category perception, 2) whether there are any different effects between immediate and delayed prime conditions, and 3) whether there are any different effects between gender stereotype and suffixtype words. As a result, semantic priming effects were observed in general. Delayed prime condition showed stronger effects than immediate prime condition and feminine suffix-type of words showed robust effects than any other types.
