It is argued in this article that the crucial aspects of syntactic change in the history of English are derived from the fact assumption that the LCA is applied to lexical items individually in the [CP-VP] clause structure of Old English, yielding various patterns of AUX, V and O placement. In the meantime the LCA is applied directly to the clause structure [CP-TP-vP-VP] of Modern English, thus deriving the fixed word order. With the assumption that Old English AUX and V are base-generated in the same position of VP under the [CP-VP] structure, one of both should move out of VP in order to asymmetically c-command each other due to the LCA requirements, deriving AUX-V order or V-AUX order in the surface subordinate clauses of Old English. After the introduction of TP and vP in Middle English, however, it is argued that AUX and V are base-generated in TP and vP respectively, showing the structure where TP asymmetically c-commands vP. Thus the word order change in the history of English is shown to be derived from the LCA availability.

This paper is to argue that Superiority effects and non-Superiority effects in multiple wh-questions follow from the Minimality Condition that the u[F] is (bi-directionally) valued by the closest valued matching feature. This Minimality Condition covers both single Agree and multiple Agree, regardless of whether multiple Agree takes place simultaneously or not. This paper will show that Superiority effects take place only in case there are multiple goals (i.e., WHs) for a single unvalued probe u[F], while no Superiority effects arise in case there is only a single valued probe i[F] for multiple unvalued goals (i.e., WHs). In the former case there is a minimality among WHs while in the latter case there is no minimality among WHs, according to the Minimality Condition.

Case Filter and Case Theorem come into play to account for the distribution of lexical NPs and PRO. Chomsky (1980) argues that PRO must be ungoverned since it is regarded as both an anaphor and a pronominal simultaneously. By definition, Case should be assigned under government. It explicitly implies that lexical NPs and PRO are mutually exclusive with each other. That is, lexical NPs are allowed to appear where PRO is prohibited. This paper presents "unusual" patterns of PRO. On the empirical side, the distribution of PRO is by far wider than predicted from the theoretical basis. The "unusual" cases exhibit that PRO can occur in the finite clause with both anaphoric and dependent tense. Control does not need to be restricted to infinitival complement clauses. It can readily expand into finite complement clauses. Interclausal dependency via control may be established between the matrix clause and the complement clause including infinitival and finite clauses as well.

In this squib I showed some similarities and differences among prenominal phrases in Korean. They all end with a prenominal temporal affixes, called adnominalizers in the literature, which is different from those found in matrix clauses. EHRCs, IHRCs and PA phrases are the same ones in that they contain an empty category coindexed with the relative head. These phrases are different from NPA phrases, gapless RCs and noun complement clauses in that the latter contain no empty category. Among the latter three, NPA phrase and gapless RCs are pure modifiers, whereas noun complement clauses are not.

Resumptive pronouns in English are found in relative constructions where gaps are supposed to take the place. If a construction has two or more forms in free variation from the point of view of truth-conditional semantics, it is worthwhile investigating whether there are pragmatic differences. Based on Prince (1990, 1995)’s observations, we will show the pragmatic meaning difference between the gap-containing structure and the pronoun-containing structure. We will also show that the reconstruction based on movement theory does not suffice to explain the distribution. Then we will suggest that resumption is the last resort strategy at PF which needs reference-set computation against the suggestion of Aoun, Choueiri & Hornstein (2001) which is based on Binding. In the following chapter, many instances of resumptive pronouns will be presented, showing that there is not insignificant meaning difference between the gap-containing structure and the pronoun-containing structure. In chapter 2, the proposals of reconstruction will be critically surveyed. In chapter 3, the resumption as the last resort strategy will be suggested. Chapter 4 concludes the paper.

Mismatch or non-isomorphic mapping between form and function is prevalent in natural languages. English is no exception in this respect. It displays various instances of mismatch phenomena that can be classified into two main groups: complexity and content mismatch. This paper discusses several instances of these two types of mismatch in English and sketches how the lexicalist grammar with parallel architecture can license such non-isomorphic relations or no direct correspondences between form and meaning.

It has been a standard view in the literature that a negative polarity item is an existential quantifier under the scope of its licensor (Ladusaw 1979, among many others). Given this, the strict locality and limited distribution of the Korean negative polarity item amwuto ‘anyone' has drawn much interest in Korean literature. I suggest that amwuto is a universal quantifier, scoping over the licensor, following Chung and Park (1998), and Choi (2011) and will show that this view can provide a more satisfactory account for its limited distribution and strict locality.

This paper aims to submit a revised proposal on complementizers in Korean complex sentences. A complementizer as a terminal ending grammatical marker signifies the derivation of a finite or non‐finite complement clause is completed. It is successively merged with a relevant morphological case‐marking particle to make the case‐marked complement clause to be selected by a matrix propositional predicate. In principle there appears to be five different types of complementizers; {‐da, ‐ni/‐nya, ‐la, ‐ja, ‐ma} heading a finite complement clause, {‐eum} heading a non‐finite nominal predicate clause similar to English gerunds, {‐ki} heading a non‐finite nominal verb clause similar to English infinitives, {‐keot} heading a predicative nominal clause, and {‐ji} heading an alternative interrogative clause. When a propositional predicate in the matrix clause is merged with a finite or non‐finite complement clause as its complement, complex uninterpretable locutionary force features denoting sentence type and high/low status marker in C have just agreed with relevant interpretable force features which are carried by a terminal ending grammatical marker in the complement clause.

This paper discusses the phenomenon of dative alternation in English, and presents syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic explanations to the choice between dative structure and double object structure. It will be argued that a unified explanation encompassing the discourse variables based on the corpus analysis in Williams (1994) and Bresnan and Nikitina (2008) as well as the syntactic structure suggested in Larson (1988) and the typology of verbs in Krifka (2003) is needed to explain the diversity of the dative alternation.

The issue of the nature of the null arguments in Korean lies in whether the null arguments can be elided or not. Ahn & Cho (2011a.b.), using a pragmatic interpretation such as explicature, argue that pro analysis is superior to the DP ellipsis analysis. However, this paper points out that there still seems to be problems with the pro analysis. In DP ellipsis analysis, only two interpretations, strict identity interpretation and sloppy identity interpretation, can be produced but,

Learning vocabulary is considered basic in second language learning and yet Korean high school students tend to use a limited range of vocabulary learning strategies. The present study attempts to investigate the relationship between Korean high school students' English vocabulary learning strategies (EVLS) and vocabulary proficiency. For the purpose, a survey was conducted to 113 first grade high school students to find out their vocabulary learning strategies and their relationship with vocabulary proficiency. The results show that the participating students favored simple memorization strategies regardless of the proficiency levels though the higher group used more EVLS than the lower group. Among the five EVLS categories, the meaning-determination strategies were most frequently used while the social strategies was least used. The results suggest that students need to be encouraged to use various vocabulary learning strategies to use words in their productive language.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between metacognitive awareness and the use of reading strategies in L1 and L2 reading depending on the participants' L2 reading proficiency. A total of 167 Korean EFL university students participated in this study. They responded to questionnaires asking about their metacognitive reading strategies in their L1 and L2 reading for academic purposes. The findings showed that (a) there were positive relationship between L1 reading and L2 reading in terms of their use of metacognitive reading strategies, and (b) significant differences were found in the use of strategies in L1 vs. L2 reading in terms of L2 reading proficiency: L1 and L2 global strategy use in the high proficiency group, L1 and L2 support strategy use in the high, intermediate, and low proficiency groups, and overall L1 and L2 metacognitive reading strategy use in the intermediate proficiency group. There were no significant differences in L1 and L2 problem-solving strategy use in all three proficiency groups. The most influential factor in predicting overall use of L2 metacognitive reading strategies was found to be L1 global strategy use. Pedagogical implications for strategy-based reading instruction were suggested.
