Y.-H. Kim (2007) has presented an analysis of the alternation among Korean dative/locative case particles within the framework of the minimalist program. The gist of his analysis lies in his claim that the alternation among the case particles is influenced by their associated nouns’ animacy, a kind of gender according to his claim, and that their alternation is determined by agreement in the sense of the minimalist program. Recently, Kim and Chung (2015) have come up with an analysis of the honorific system of Korean from a totally different point of view. They treat kkey ‘to(honorific)’ as a realization of the honorific feature [+hon] whether the associated noun is assigned nominative or dative. They also make criticism of Y.-H. Kim’s (2007) analysis while claiming that agreement is not an operation in narrow syntax but one caused by feature sharing at the PF component as discussed by Bobaljik (2008). In this paper, we will take a critical look at Kim and Chung’s (2015) analysis and make a point of its flaws, and then try to present some solutions to Y.-H. Kim’s (2007) real problems.

Chomsky (2007, 2008, 2013) proposes that T has no substantial features and it inherits all the relevant grammatical features from C. More specifically, in the C-to-T feature inheritance approach T does not have its own inherent Case feature and inherits the nominative Case feature from C. This claim can be supported if there is a C-less finite TP and the subject of the TP cannot be assigned Case by T in the construction. In this paper I propose that there is indeed a construction in which C-less TP occurs and the there-construction is a case in point. Furthermore, this paper shows that the subject of the C-less TP cannot be assigned Case within the TP projection, providing empirical evidence for the C-to-T feature inheritance approach.

The purpose of the paper is to suggest a licensing condition of caki based on Distributed Morphology. The economical burden caused by selecting a single syntactic object and interpreting the same object can be alleviated by reducing the process of computation. Merger of the ROOT of 'caki' and N, with the late lexical insertion can explain the complex distribution of caki.

Being a rare form of sentence formation, not many languages seem to have Tag question constructions as English does (Culicover 1992:193). Besides, Cuenca (1997:4) notes that the English Tag question construction has received less and less attention in the later period of generative syntax, due to the colloquial characteristics of the construction. Of the two major distinct approaches to English Tag question constructions including Mono-clausal approaches such as Klima (1964), Arbini (1969), and den Dikkien (1995), and bi-clausal approaches such as Huddleston (1969), Culicover (1992), McCawley (1998), and Sailor (2009), the current paper proposes a Minimalist approach to Tag Question Construction using a series of Head movement, Focalization of vP, a Polarity reversing functional projection, PolP, which contains an abstract morpheme [NEG], and adjunction mechanism. Through these thorough and meticulous steps, the English Tag question construction receives a Minimalist facelift.

There has been controversy over the nature of so-called cognate objects in English, such as She died a natural death. Some claim that cognate objects are adjuncts (or adverbials), but others that they are arguments (or complements). There are also studies that treat some cases as arguments and others as adjuncts or something else. This leads to two related questions: what are cognate objects and how are they classified? This article argues for the complement analysis and proposes a cline of cognate objects with intransitive verbs, assuming a distinction between constructions and verb classes. The cline runs from idiomatic through productive types, the latter type of which further divides into argumental and nonargumental subtypes. Further notes are made on some advantages of the proposed analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to show that the syntactic structures of long-from causative constructions should be derived within the same clause projected by ‘-ke ha-.’ The previous studies suggest that the syntactic structures of long-from causative constructions be divided into two types: one is that the causees are positioned in the main clause and the other is that the causees are positioned in the embedded clause. However, in this paper it is pointed out that there are some problems with the studies and the causees in the constructions should be placed in the embedded clause.

Since sign language uses a visual and gestural mode it has more restrictions in designating concepts compared to spoken language, which uses an auditory-vocal mode. Therefore, sign language is prone to using more metaphorical and metonymical expressions. Since Lakoff and Johnson (1980), many researchers have paid great attention to the observation of the metaphorical and metonymical expressions in various spoken languages. However, the same phenomena have not been thoroughly explored in sign languages, in spite of the fact that sign language frequently employs metaphor and metonymy even in basic words. This paper observes the types of metaphor and metonymy that are used in the adjectives of Korean Sign Language. Because of the arbitrary relation of form and meaning in spoken language, metaphor and metonymy cannot be found in morphologically simple words in spoken language. However, in sign language, metaphor and metonymy are widespread phenomena even in morphologically simple words.

The quasi-experimental study was designed to compare effects of two telecollaborative learning models, asynchronous (ATL) and synchronous telecollaboration learning (STL), on Korean elementary school students’ motivation, anxiety, and intercultural communicative competence (ICC). To evaluate the 27 participants’ motivation and anxiety level, a pre-test and a post-test were administered and the motivation level and the anxiety level were compared between the ATL and the STL group. On the completion of the project, to examine their ICC development, the participants were interviewed by the researcher with questions constructed based on five objectives of Byram’s intercultural competence. The results are as follows: (1) The two groups did not show any significant differences in increase their motivation level. However, when examining in more detail, the participants in ATL increased their instrumental motivation while those in STL increased their integrative motivation. (2) There was no significant difference in anxiety level between the two groups. At last, (3) regarding ICC development, the participants both in the ATL and in the STL greatly improved their knowledge, attitude, and skills, but ATL participants, compared to STL participants, demonstrated relatively limited changes in their critical cultural awareness. Implications to enhance elementary school students’ motivation and ICC by telecollaboration are suggested.

The English to-infinitive structure has over a dozen different functions, presenting a difficult area for EFL students. The present study shows a relatively dynamic profile of the use of ten to-infinitives functions appearing in EFL children's story writing as the children progress in grade levels and English proficiency—an area that has never been investigated previously. To-infinitives that function as an ‘object’ or ‘purpose’ were most prominent. The students used a higher number of to-infinitives as they progressed from the third to sixth grades. The increase between the four adjacent grade levels did not reach a level of significance, but the increase between middle (third and fourth) and upper (fifth and sixth) levels was significant. The difference was striking when the entire group was re-sorted into lower vs. higher proficiency groups: the increase in the use of to-infinitives was better explained by English proficiency improvement than by grade level progression. This in-depth analysis into the sub-functions adds to the existing knowledge about to-infinitives, which might otherwise remain oversimplified.

This study considers the criteria of genitive alternation in English, i.e. the alternation between s- and of- genitive cases, in a unified approach under a single criterion. The factors that are believed to influence the choice between the two types of genitives include animacy, topicality, syntactic weight, a final sibilant in the possessor, etc. Those factors interact with each other complicatedly in the choice between the two types of genitive constructions, and some overlaps among them exist implicitly. This paper suggests that the overlapped factor is the ‘efficiency’ in the speaker’s information delivery in language use. We can get an economic result if the multiple allegedly working criteria for the choice between the genitive case constructions are replaced by the single factor ‘efficiency.’

This case study investigated whether an experiment group of thirty-two Korean college students well corresponded to the height of back vowel /ɔ/, the lip-rounding of /ɒ/ and /ɑ/, and the vowel merging of cot - caught as the criteria for telling British from American English. This research finds its meaning in elucidating Korean college students’ perceptual gap or misconception in discriminating British English from American English within the boundary of English vowel height and roundness, and bring to light the possible background reasons. About the vowel /ɔ/, their judgement was seriously hurt because their perception of the vowel height was negatively influenced by non-linguistic factors like the preoccupation about a particular English. On the other hand, they well adopted and used the lip-rounding difference between /ɒ/ and /ɑ/ as a criterion. However, they failed to use the vowel merging of cot and caught as another criterion because most of the Korean students had not fully familiarized themselves with the vowel merging.

By comparing a corpus of Korean learners of English with a native speaker corpus, this study shows to what extent and in what ways Korean learners acquire English modal verbs can, could, may, and might (Hunston 2002). This corpus study revealed that the Korean learners underused could, may, and might. Two factors can explain the pattern of the Korean learners’ acquisition of the 4 modal verbs. First, the difficulty of combining tense with the modal verbs impedes the learners’ preterit form use of the modal verbs. Second, the epistemic modality is acquired much later than the root modality such as possibility, permission, and ability (Gibbs 1990). Since may and might typically associate with the epistemic modality, the learners rarely used those modal verbs.
