This study explores the diachronic development of expletive negation (EN) from Old English to Early Modern English. The EN examined in this paper involves a matrix verb with the meaning `prohibit`, `deny/refuse` or `doubt/fear` governing a subordinate clause with a negative marker whose meaning is allegedly empty. It is argued that EN is not a case of long-distance negative concord, but it is a genuine negative clause, as evidenced by the existence of emphatic negative markers. The use of EN is explained from a cognitive perspective as a speaker`s frequent (mis-)interpretation of counterfactual contexts, which is compatible with the use of the subjunctive mood.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the grammatical status of English core negative element ne and not in the process of diachronic changes. Negation was generally expressed by the negative particle ne throughout OE. It came to be expressed by the weakened ne in combination with the negative adverb not in ME, and as ne disappeared, not started to be used exclusively from around the fifteenth century. There was a temporary tendency to place not before a lexical verb until the verb do became fully grammaticalized as an auxiliary, but negation began to be derived with the syntactic structure of `a finite modal verb/do＋not＋a lexical verb` from the later period of Early ModE. Contracted negation came to be optionally expressed through negative contraction in terms of encliticization of not to the preceding finite verb from Late ModE.

The primary purpose of this paper is to descriptively analyze the syntactic aspects of Beowulf. an Old English heroic epic poem consisting of 3182 alliterative long lines. The manuscript of Beowulf is believed to have transcribed from an original by two scribes, because the handwriting of the two scribes is ill-matched. The discussion on the heroic expeditions of Beowulf and authorship and date of this work are excluded here, and so are the question as to form and meter, the and dialects This research was supported by the Daegu University Research Grant, 2008. used in it. The main concerns of this paper are focused on the description of syntactic structures of phrase structures, such as NP, VP, and PrepP, and some syntactic aspects are also discussed on passive, extraposition, etc.

This paper is intended to insist that the way construction in English should be regarded as a subtype of the directional motion constructions and to analyse this construction bundled by mismatching interaction of syntax and semantics within a framework of HPSG. For this, having examined previous approaches, this paper will further precisely investigate the linguistic behaviors of the way construction with the necessity of a more accurate interpretation of the fixed phrase because its misinterpretation can make it impossible to describe the idiosyncratic properties of the way construction. This paper will suggest the construction analysis, arguing against the previous approaches like a resultative construction.

This study makes an attempt to argue for the so-called `Strongest Minimalist Thesis` as an optimal alternative to Chomsky`s (2001, 2004, 2005a, 2005b) Strong Minimalist Thesis. I prove, based on the perspective of the modern biolinguistics, that the innate faculty of language, so far assumed in the Strong Minimalist Thesis, doesn`t exist and, therefore, the narrow syntax must be eliminated from the grammar system just as a major real imperfection. Furthermore, I propose a new grammar framework, that is, the Language Generation System along the line of the Strongest Minimalist Thesis suggested in this study.

The historical origin of obstruent phonemes in English traces back to the Indo-European system. This paper attempts to account for two important developments (Grimm`s Law and Middle English phonemicization) within the framework of Optimality Theory. The proposal is crucially based on the rejection of a serial interpretation of Grimm`s Law and the substitution of the Maintain Contrast constraint with the interactions between symmetry in the system and the minimality of phonological change. In addition symmetry is claimed to function as a guiding principle whose manifestation can be extended to Middle English phonemicization. It is also shown that the application of nonsystemic faithfulness constraints to the systemic domain enables us to state a formal definition of the types of phonemic change.

In the recent literature, it has often been suggested that head movement may be a PF phenomenon. For instance, Chomsky (2001: 32) points out that head movement differs from core rules of the narrow syntax in several respects and that all of this would be unproblematic if the phenomenon in question is a phonological process reflecting affixal properties. (See also Boeckx and Stjepanovic 2001 for relevant discussion and references.) In this paper, based on a novel set of data from English, I suggest that in some specific contexts, it seems reasonable to assume that head movement can indeed take place in PF, which I argue provides partial evidence for Chomsky`s claim that head movement can be attributed to PF. The discussion here also has some implications for the nature of the coordinate structure constraint.

The generation of negative inversion (NI) in both Standard English (SE) and Non-standard English (NSE) has been puzzles to the English grammar, mainly because of their grammatical idiosyncrasies. One prevalent approach for the construction in both is a configurational, movement one that contributes the inversion force to the so-called NEG criterion as well as to the interaction of functional projections and movement operations. In this paper, we provide a non-movement, construction-based analysis of the NI. In particular, we attribute the inversion force to purely constructional properties. This construction-based analysis, without resorting to movement operations or functional projections, can provide a simple analysis for the similarities and differences between SE and NSE NI constructions.

The goal of this paper is to study Korean college students` collocation knowledge of English adjective synonyms. Three pairs of synonymous adjectives big/huge, blank/empty, complete/perfect were selected and tested. The subjects were a total of 50 college students. The results are as follows. First, the average score was as low as 50.67%. Second, there was a somewhat weak positive correlation(r=.475) between college students` general English knowledge and English adjective + noun collocation knowledge. Third, the subjects` scores were not in accordance with the actual use of native English speakers. For example, the score of huge cost was only 28% even though it is a very common expression. Fourth, the subjects` scores were much lower in the case where both adjectives are eligible (higher than 60%) than the case where only one adjective is eligible (lower than 40%). These results suggest that EFL students need to learn English with focus on collocations, not individual words.

This paper is a corpus-based, comparative study of the college entrance English exams in Korea, China, and Japan, and its main goal is to analyze the English vocabulary used in these English exams to evaluate how appropriate they are for measuring prospective college students` English proficiency for higher education. The results indicate that the Korean English exam shows the highest vocabulary level in all aspects, including vocabulary size and overall vocabulary level. In particular, considering the lexical coverage of college-level English vocabulary, the Korean English exam can be considered more appropriate for measuring students` English proficiency than the Chinese or Japanese English exam. Despite this encouraging finding concerning the relative status of the three countries` national exams, however, we are doubtful about the appropriateness of the Korean English exam in achieving the important evaluative goal, mainly due to its low coverage of college-level vocabulary.

The purpose of this study is to find out the semantic similarities and differences between the verbs finish and end by analyzing and comparing their meanings and noun collocations, especially abstract and artificial nouns, from COCA. This paper reveals that the verbs finish and end have similar meanings and semantic characteristics which cause both verbs to collocate with the same nouns, whilst they also have completely different meanings and the characteristics which make them collocate with totally different nouns from each other. The semantic characteristic of finish is that it tends to collocate with nouns which are temporally bound and located in time. The meanings of finish is reflected in its own noun collocations. Nouns such as letter, food, and doctorate. The unique semantic characteristic of end, which distinguishes it from finish, is that it collocates with nouns that are temporally unbound. The meanings of end is also reflected in its noun collocations. Negative action nouns, such as conflict, bloodshed and negative feeling nouns, such as disappointment, disgrace fall into this category. The most important difference in the meanings between finish and end is that finish implies `something`s being over and complete` and end implies `something`s being over although incomplete`. This study proves that the verbs finish and end have similar meanings which cause them to collocate with the same range of nouns. Meanwhile each verb has its own semantic characteristics and meanings that clearly distinguish it from the other. The understanding of the semantic similarities and differences among similar words by analyzing and comparing their meanings and the collocations, which relate to each verb ?s meanings directly and reflect their semantic characteristics, helps one distinguish these words more easily.

Acquisition of relative clauses in Korean and Japanese has been one of the fruitful research topics in the modern linguistics. Kim (1987) and Lee (1991) especially have revealed many interesting aspects of the acquisition of relative clauses, especially the relative clauses in Korean. They claim that so-called externally-headed relative clause constructions are acquired earlier than the internally-headed relative clauses in Korean. Contrary to what Kim (1987) and Lee (1991) claim, Cho (1999, 2003) proposes an alternative such that the internally-head relative clauses (IHRCs) in Korean are acquired earlier than the externally-headed ones (EHRCs). If this is the case, then why? Cho (2003) simply remarks that children tend to acquire structures that are easy to understand earlier than those that are not. We will critically re-examine this claim and provide some explanation. That is, we show that IHRCs are acquired earlier than EHRCs because the former are semantically more transparent than the latter, while having the same syntactic structures.

The purpose of this research is to provide the data for the clarification of the functions of discourse particle like. 46 instances of utterances were found from 20 movie scripts that have been released for the last 30 years. Revising the previous proposals, we will argue that they can be grouped as "quotative" "approximation", "focus or introduction" and "filler or hedge". The data, however, show the intra/inter-function overlappings, which need an elaborated network to explain the complicated meanings.

Discourse is the locus where the interlocutors negotiate the meaning of lexical items. This paper aims to develop a multifuctional profile of though as a discourse marker specially through the study of what functions a discourse marker though has. It is shown that though as a discourse marker is syntactically free and usually enclitic. Its basic use is to introduce a proposition that is contrary to expectation. It signals that the speaker is engaged in a particular speech act, especially of a face-threatening type, such as contradicting, correcting, or disagreeing with the previous speaker. It can serve function of introducing a new topic or subtopic as Barth-Weingarten and Couper-Kuhlen (2002) suggested as the function of the final though. In addition, the syntactic and semantic change of though is traced in light of grammaticalization. It claims that in the course of grammaticalization of though, some mechanisms are employed such as subjectification, generalization, persistence, divergence, and layering
