The `Extended Projection Principle` (EPP) has been a pervasive topic of research and a pervasive mystery since it was first formulated by Chomsky (1981). That initial formulation is not precise, but its intention is clear enough: The EPP (here called by Chomsky `principle P`) "is the structural requirement that certain configurations … must have subjects …" ［p.27］ Over the years since, its existence as an independent constraint has often been called into question, on the grounds that it is redundant with other principles, especially those concerning Case (by Fukui and Speas (1986) for example), or that it is literally unformulable given other theoretical desiderata (Epstein and Seely (1999)). I will review those arguments. I will also survey a range of phenomena involving infinitival constructions that provide strong empriical evidence for the EPP. In particular, I will show that in ECM constructions, while the ECM subject sometimes raises overtly to a canonical Case positon (Spec of AgrO), it also sometimes remains in embedded subject position, a position that it is in solely to satisfy the EPP (Lasnik (2001b)). The next question is just how the EPP is to be formulated. Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou (1998) argue that there are actually two different kinds of languages with respect to the EPP, those (like Greek) where X˚movement suffices versus those where only an XP can satisfy the EPP. I will examine English, a matter of strong feature checking, as in Chomsky (1995), or the requirement that certain functional heads require a specifier, as in Chomsky`s original version and the more recent one in Chomsky (2000). This question turns out to be surprisingly intricate, with arguments for the strong feature version (Merchant 92001), and against it (Lasnik (2001a)).

"You may not agree with Chomsky`s work, but it would be both short-sighted and unscholarly to ignore it." (Smith 2000:vi) Sung-Hyuk Park. 2002. Chomsky`s Conception of Language and Grammar. Studies in Modern Grammar 31, 25-46. Chomsky`s views on human language and the nature of linguistic inquiry are very widely referred to, but equally widely misrepresented. Such widespread misunderstanding of Chomsky`s linguistic ideas seem, especially in Korea, to be due in part to misinterpretation of his conception of language and grammar. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine Chomsky`s conception of language and grammar with a view to helping Korean critics of Chomskyan theory understand it in a reasonable manner. According to Chomsky, "there is a faculty of language FL, a component of the human mind/brain dedicated to language," and "FL undergoes state changes under triggering and shaping influences of the environment." The most important and basic assumption of Chomskyan theory is the internalist conception of knowledge of a language, according to which such knowledge is constituted solely as part of the psychology of individuals. This special notion is accordingly referred to as "I-language," where I is to suggest "individual," "internal," and "intensional." The notion of language that is being investigated is the language of an individual (I-language), not the language of a community or a country or an era. An I-language L is thus defined as the language of an individual whose FL is in a state L (S?). The notion of grammar should then be conceived of in the same vein: the term "grammar" is the linguist`s theory of the I-language, universal grammar (UG) being the theory of the initial state S? of FL, which is uniform for the species.

Kwang-sup Kim. 2003. QR and Minimalism. Studies in Modern Grammar 31, 47-69. In the Minimalist Program there are two opposite views about QR. Hornstein(1999) claims that there is no QR, and the effect of QR is a by-product of A-movement. He proposes that the A-approach enables us to explain the locality QR, while maintaining the Modularity Hypothesis. On the other hand, Fox (2000) departs from the Modularity Hypothesis, arguing that there is QR and QR takes place only when it gives a semantic effect. After pointing out empirical problems of both approaches, this paper proposes that QR can be eliminated by making use of AGREE operation. Furthermore, this paper advocates the position that the Modularity Hypothesis must be maintained.

Chegyong Im. 2003. Processing of Ambiguous Sentences: An Optimality Theoretic Approach. Studies in Modern Grammar 31, 71-88. Our approach claims that the same principles that govern syntactic structures also contribute to a theory of sentence processing. We also argue, following Gibson & Boihier (1998), that the ambiguities can be resolved by the strategy of Optimality Theory i.e., by picking out the most optimal candidate with the rank of the constraints converted from the principles of Minimalist Program. The constrains suggested here are Thematic Valency, Node Conservativity and Node Locality to explain the preference among the ambiguous interpretations as well as Deictic Condition to select the antecedent for the Pros and anaphors.

This paper aims to account for the historical rise of for NP before infinitival clause when the matrix predicate is an adjective. First, the main arguments and the problems of the previous studies are discussed, most of which made a point of the reanalysis of benefactive dative NP governed by the matrix verb to the subject of the infinitival clause. Unlike Jespersen (1909-49, V), Lightfoot (1979), Fischer et al. (2000), etc., this paper argues that such a reanalysis did not play a role and English did not undergo structural reanalysis over time. It is also argued that Old and Middle English had the same double structure as Modern English, and that the only change is the replacement of dative inflection by the preposition for and the later spread of the for to the subject NP of the infinitival clause. Moreover, the previous debates as to the cause of the change in question, whereby such claims as the loss of case inflection (Nagai 1998, Fischer et al. 2000) and the change of word order (Fisher et al. 2000) are the most prominent, are not significant because there is little structural change. The loss of case inflection only caused the use of for instead of case inflection, and the word order change only caused the possible occurrence of the sentence-initial for NP to V.

Pil-Hwan Lee. 2003. A Historical Study on English Negative Expressions - with Special Reference to the Methodology in English Historical Syntax. Studies in Modern Grammar 31, 107-136. This is a study on the changes in sentential negation in English, from Old English to the present day, in terms of Jespersen`s(1917) Negative Cycle. The Negative Cycle is an assumption that negative adverbs are depleted lexical meaning they undergo phonological and morphosyntactic reduction to a bound morpheme prefixed to the finite verb. The history of English clearly supports this assumption. The issue is how to explain these aspects of changes. van Kemenade(1997a, 1997c, 1999, 2000) tries to account for the history of English sentential negation as a pure case of morphosyntactic change. It means that the change was triggered by structural factors. However, it is argued in this paper that the triggering factor for the change is the weakening of meaning. In other words, negative adverbs are morphologically and syntactically weakened to negative head status due to the semantic bleaching of negation and to the overlapping function in expressing sentential negation in NegP. The two positions in NegP inherently presuppose the functional redundancy in expressing sentential negation, so the specifier of NegP is generally weakened to Neg˚.

Do-Yong Bai. 2003. The Meaning Extension and Conceptual Network of `얼굴` in Korean. Studies in Modern Grammar 31, 137-156. The purpose of this study is to examine how form and meaning extension of the human body term `얼굴` in Korean is composed and how the direction of the meaning extension is realized on the assumption that various meanings of a word constitute a category. It is important how central meanings should be prescribed in meaning extension, which is frequently neglected in previous studies. Until the accurate prescription of central meanings is made, it has been impossible to understand how and which constituents of central meanings extend to marginal meanings. Also we cannot confirm that marginal meanings extend orderly and systematically though they look scattered in disorder. As a result, the semantic field of `얼굴` makes it possible to establish a section of lexical system in the Korean language and the conception network of `얼굴` to explain a section of the Korean national spirit.

Ju-Shik Kim. 2002. An Examination of Metonymy as Cognitive Process. Studies in Modern Grammar, 157-172. Metonymy as a cognitive process refers to a general cognitive ability that enables speakers to represent a specific object as a whole or its aspects by focusing upon a salient aspect of the object. The purpose of this study is to examine how this metonymical process is materialized in daily speech activities. As a preliminary step for the discussion, a brief review is made on the nature of metonymy in cognitive grammar. A comparative analysis is also made on the difference between metonymy and metaphor so as to give a better picture of the nature of metonymy. The most fundamental difference is that metaphor occurs in the association of source domain and target domain, whereas metonymy happens in a single domain. Based upon this discussion on the nature of metonymy, an attempt is made to explain polysemy in the framework of metonymy. Polysemy is a linguistic phenomenon in which a specific expression can be interpreted as denoting several related meanings. When approaching polysemy from the perspective of metonymy, it is important to note that metonymy occurs in a single domain. In addition, examples are discussed to demonstrate that mytonymy is at work even in the unconscious inference process of everyday speech. In particular, the problem of prototype effect, the problems of conversational implicature, and the problem of the conflict between the pronoun and antecedent are approached in the cognitive framework of metonymy.

Kyung-Hee Kim. 2003. Lexical Contact between Spanish and Catalan. Studies in Modern Grammar 31, 173-187. The primary purpose of this paper is to show how Spanish and Catalan exchange their lexical influences. Through the history, Spanish has always dominated Catalan. We intend to take lexical evidences to prove the their historial relation and to predict their future. Recently Catalan is supported by political and economical powers, but what we observe in linguistic aspects is that the natural trend is destined for the simplification of Catalan lexical system, adopting it to that of Spanish. We also show the bilingual speakers` attitude in selecting lexical forms.

Youngjun Jang. 2003. Non-Sentence-Final clauses in English. studies in Mordern Grammar 31, 189-197. In this paper, we argue that an explanation based on feature-checking is not enough and in fact not viable in accounting for the expletive it in the subject position and the object position in English. As an alternative, we propose that a kind of ban on non-snetence-final clauses (first proposed in Kuno 1978) is in operation in constraining the distribution of in the a sentence structure.
