In this paper I argue that the so-called gapless relative clause (GRC) in Korean actually has a syntactic gap, and thus, it is a variant of the externally headed regular gappy RC. I also argue that the surface structure of GRC is derived from the underlying structure where the cause-effect relation required in GRC constructions is fully realized via pragmatically conditioned ellipsis. Thus I suggest that the verbal effect part can be ellipted to the extent that this part is pragmatically recoverable in the presence of the head noun that denotes the same effect. The categorial status of the GRC is further claimed to be CP, which then hosts operator movement in its Spec in a usual way. So there is little anomaly in the RCs known as gapless RCs.

Ahn and Cho (2011) suggest that Caseless fragments are just CPs directly dominating nonsentential NPs. The analysis of Caseless fragments in Korean raises non-trivial problems in three phenomena: P-stranding, quantifier scope, and anaphoric binding. Merchant (2004) argues that fragments and their sentential correlates show parallelism with respect to P-stranding. Interestingly, in Korean, P-stranding is allowed in fragments unlike their sentential correlates. We suggest that the apparent P-stranding is a consequence of the existence of Caseless fragments. Regard- ing scope interaction, Caseless fragments yield only wide scope reading with respect to another scope bearing element. We suggest that it is related to the complex structure of quantifiers put forward in Ahn and Cho (2012b). Following this analysis, quantifier fragments are all analyzed in some sense as Case-marked fragments. Hence, argument quantifier and adjunct quanti- fier can display the same scope patterns. With respect to anaphoric binding, we note that Caseless fragments of anaphors show distribution different from their full sentential correlates in both subject and object positions, which may further support our analysis of Caseless fragments in Korean; namely, Caseless fragments are directly generated as XPs without full sentential structures.

This paper examines the phenomena of missing objects in Korean, given linguistic or situational contexts. It is argued that the null object construction in Korean is model-interpretive anaphora in terms of Sag and Hankamer`s (1984) dichotomy of anaphora as model-interpretive anaphora or ellipsis. Instead of a DP ellipsis analysis, a pro analysis of null object constructions is thus defended. To be specific, the concept of sloppy readings in anaphora is articulated along the line of Hoji (2003): personal pronouns [+β] vs. names [+α]. As a consequence, it is confirmed that there is neither DP ellipsis nor CP ellipsis in Korean.

Transitivity, or the linguistic realization of transitive events, is a basic linguistic phenomenon across languages. This study examines how far and in what ways the linguistic realization of transitivity in Korean can be varied with respect to typological variations. Thus, this study aims at demonstrating that the expression of transitivity in Korean is closely related to diverse linguistic phenomena such as morphosyntactic constraints on transitivity and semantic extensions in grammaticalization. As for the language-specific factors that characterize transitivity in Korean, it is proposed that as a SOV-language and a topic-prominent language, Korean shows a tendency that morphological devices and limited semantic exten- sions play a significant role in the degree of transitivity.

Studies in Modern Grammar 70, 107-127. It is known that VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora phenomena are typologically dependent. The goals of this paper is to offer a unified algorithm for English VP-ellipsis and Korean VP-anaphora, and show how the suggested resolution algorithm, adopted from Jager (2010), can account for these two in a uniform way.

Predicate-as Parentheticals exhibit word order variability that interacts with contrastive focus placement on the subject or an adjunct phrase. While Culicover and Winkler (2008) discuss that as-clauses share certain properties with other focus inversion construc- tions, a concrete syntactic analysis of Predicate-as clauses has not been provided in the previous studies in order to explain such word order variations as the auxiliary verb cluster phenomenon. This paper proposes that the complicated word order patterns in Predicate-as clauses be accounted for in terms of a constructional constraint for a focus inversion clause, without changing the basic syntactic and semantic analyses of As-Parentheticals. In our analysis, the focus-inversion-clause construction imposes a constraint on the word order domain, so that word order variability needs not to be directly reflected on the constituent structure of the clause.

This paper attempts at an integrated approach to the various semantic properties of English demon- stratives this and that. According to previous scholars, a demonstrative has very diverse functions-spatial and temporal relations with the speaker, discourse deixis, the speaker`s psychological and emotional expressions. This study reviews two representative approaches in order to see whether there are unified principles that can account for all those cases. First, the seman- tic/pragmatic approach tries to find the meanings of the demonstratives this and that from their basic semantic features, proximal/distal from the speaker, and second, the cognitive approach accounts for their meanings in consideration of the possibility of the hearer`s cognitive processing. This paper discusses the merits and limitations of those two approaches, and proposes the following approach as an alternative: the proximal/distal demonstratives this and that are related with the speaker`s and hearer`s projection of focus onto the referent.

The concept of causality is among the primary human concept- ualizations and thus carries special significance in its linguistic represen- tation. This is well illustrated by numerous cognitive explorations with respect to ``force dynamics``. Since the human construal of caused events in real-world situations involves diversified classification of the causal force, the causal force takes on equally diverse linguistic representations. In Korean such dimensionality of causality is perceptually attributable to, and analytically retrievable from, the semantics of the source lexemes of the complex postpositions and connectives, where the so-called defective nouns participate as a nominal component of the formal constructs. The typology of causality along the physical dimension bears significance in that the members of each subcategory exhibit different behavior in terms of their syntagmatic cooccurrence, as a result of differing semantic constraints. This paper shows that there is a systematic correlation between the semantics of the source nominals and that of the grammaticalized forms; that the dimensional differences can account for the interchangeability and incom- patibility among complex postpositions and connectives; and that the grammaticalization process often involves subjectification of the language user, whereby only a particular aspect of an event is selected for emphasis.

This is a case study which examined the topic management behavior of three participants in a cross-cultural con- versation. The research questions were: 1) in what ways was the global topical move structured?; 2) Were there recurrent discourse patterns that implicated topic change? For the study, the participants` talk was recorded, transcribed and analyzed through conversational analysis. In global topic management, the native speaker of English had the most dominant role while the nonnative speakers served as passive recipients. The common topic change indicators in local topic management were questions, pause, and the discourse marker ``so.`` In using these, some differences were observed among the participants, which might be attributable to crosscultural differences or the nonnative speakers` lack of confidence. The pedagogical implications were also discussed.

This study reviews what previous analyses have suggested for /l/-related processes in Korean, pointing out their weak- nesses. It is shown that previous analyses framed in the standard generative phonology and feature geometry with underspecification lose generality in explanation by treating each process separately and that they cannot account for why /l/-nasalization takes place unilaterally from right to left. Lee (2012), a constraint-based analysis, is examined and criticized since it needs awkward and unnecessary assumptions centering on an underlying repre- sentation of /l/. Assuming /l/ as linked with a mora and overlapped with /n/ captures close interactions between /l/ and /n/ but leaves many questions unsolved. In his analysis, the behavior of /l/ in compounds needs to include a morpheme boundary and constraint re-ranking at once. The present study overcomes the weaknesses of previous analyses by resorting to constraints based on intersyllabic sonority difference. These constraints in combination with other faithfulness constraints solve the directionality problem and provide generality in explanation by treating all /l/-related processes at one fell swoop with no reference to constraint re-ranking in compounds.

Recently the two-cultures theory, which is based on the differences model, has drawn attention for explaining the gender differences appearing in linguistic behavior. This theory explains that different discourse styles in gender can be categorized into sub-cultures, which is characterized as "report talk" for male and "rapport talk" for female. The topic related to the male-female differences in linguistic behavior has been dealt mainly through a socio- cultural approach. However, in recent days, the biological approach has become more popular. According to the interpretation of the new biologism, the gender-related variation in language can be explained by the biological features. This theory explains language variations on the basis of evolution- ary psychology; hence, it ignores the gender-related sociolinguistic elements. Aiming to explain the complicated linguistic behaviour, the two approaches should be complementary. Not only do these theories need to be considered but cognitive science should be considered as well.

The present study investigated how the native English speaking teachers (NEST hereafter) were teaching Korean children learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in a private language school. Specifically, it examined how their NESTs dealt with the dimensions of form, meaning, and use of language. A detailed analysis of the video- taped EFL classes targeted for Korean elementary school students taught by NESTs revealed that the teachers relied heavily on textbooks and their intuitions of the target language rather than facilitative teaching techniques. The implication of the present study is that there should be more syste- matized theory-based methods taken by NESTs to deal more effectively with beginning EFL learners in terms of the ways of presenting language data and to engage students in diverse learning activities. In addition, this paper argues that there is a strong need for NESTs to be trained as professional language teachers and to be equipped with teaching techniques and skills to customize the needs of Korean elementary school EFL learners.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate agreement-feature checking and English root infinitives in child language from the perspective of Minimalist Program. To explain this apparent derivation from the target adult gram- mar, researchers have elaborated two main models. One is the Tense Omission Model and the other is the Truncation Model. Wexler (1994) proposes in the former that an optional infinitive clause arises when the child leaves the tense feature underspecified in a given clausal represen- tation. Rizzi (1993/1994) proposes in the latter that the Root Infinitive reduces structures that result from the option of truncating structures at different levels of the clausal architecture. A further expectation would be that nominative Case is not assigned properly if AgrP is not yet projected. In the Minimalist Program, T inherits Agree-feature from C, but root infinitive clauses don`t have TP. Therefore, in children`s speech, functional projections are truncated below CP. The phenomena of early language acquisition reflects the process of acquiring functional categories as children grow.

This study investigates the effects of different vocabulary teaching methods on low- level learners`vocabulary and reading achievement in the high school English classroom. The experiment was administered for two months on three homogeneous groups, each of which was taught vocabulary using the definition-based, the pictionary-based, and the context-based methods, respectively. Additionally, a higher proficiency group was also taught in the context method to see how different proficiency responds to the context method. The post-test results showed that the pictionary group performed the best on the vocabulary test with a significant difference from the context group. The pictionary group and the definition group increased in their reading scores while those of the two context groups remained the same. The vocabulary and reading proficiency difference that existed between the two context groups disappeared after the experiment. The results of the study emphasized the benefits of the pictionary method in teaching voca- bulary to low level students and indicate that implicit instruction of vocabulary using contextual cues and inference may not have pedagogical effects on low-level high school students and that it may even affect their vocabulary acquisition negatively.
