This paper examines multiple Fragmenting in Korean to argue that it can be accounted for in the most effective way by the thesis that Fragmenting applies to cleft structure. We first propose that the underlying structure of the single or multiple fragment answer is the cleft construction where the copula links the subject cleft clause and the pre-copula inferential cleft clause. In deriving its surface structure, the former clause takes the pro strategy in identity with the preceding question sentence, and the latter clause allows survivor(s) to escape out to the periphery of it, which undergoes clausal ellipsis. This conception of the fragment construction sheds new lights on accounting for some peculiar effects of the overt or the covert copula on the immediately preceding Case marker/postposition-less survivor. In addition, this paper provides an explanation for the now celebrated clausemate requirement for the survivors in the construction at issue.

Focusing on two symmetric merges, namely {XP, YP} and {X, Y}, mainly related to there constructions, the paper discusses Moro's (1997) and Yang's (1999) approaches and the problems raised in them, and presents the solutions based on Chomsky's (2013) label theory. The paper shows that the movement of a syntactic object successfully solves the linearization and label problem yielded by the non-head symmetry of {XP, YP} but cannot those yielded by the head symmetry of {X, Y}. It will be argued that the head symmetry raised in {X, Y} can be accounted for by adopting Boeckx's (2008) Vector Merge, non-movement approach, which provides a point of origin and a point of end in Merge.

The goal of this paper is to suggest a feature-based analysis for the licensing of null subjects found in languages. After reviewing the uniformity principle suggested in 1980s, we investigate the possibility of more insightful description on the distribution of null subjects based on Holmberg and Roberts (2013)'s research. Then we show that the typological classification of the null subject constructions among languages helps to provide a universal rule that applies to explain the full, partial and radical pro-drop phenomena among languages. Finally we suggest a feature copying or feature sharing analysis for null topic and null subject constructions in Korean.

This paper aims to make a textual investigation of weak adjectives manifested in the Old English epic Beowulf and provide the minimalist-based morphosyntactic accounts for their distributions. It furthermore examines how weak adjectives are associated with diachronic changes in nominal definiteness in terms of grammaticalization. The suggestion is made that weak adjective paradigm in Beowulf represents nominal definiteness in early Old English. It frequently constitutes a functional head for definiteness within determinerless NPs but sometimes shows signs of reanalysis into the affix. The coincidence of the weak adjective and the demonstrative is understood as evidence for the adoption of the demonstrative for a definiteness marker through renewal. Then, the new cycle on nominative definiteness begins, with the demonstrative becoming subject to unidirectional progression in the cline of grammaticalization.

Given an English sentence composed of a subject, its complement, and a copula (also called a linking verb), the question of choosing a right copula has been, from the standpoint of traditional grammar, a matter of idiomaticity rather than one of analysis and comprehension. This paper, under the framework of Cognitive Grammar (CG) (Langacker 1987, 1991, 2000, 2002), semantically analyzes the underlying mechanism in our brain which is supposed to operate in determining an appropriate copula. We will first consider two processes with regard to the choice of a subject and its complement: the narrowing-down of encyclopedic knowledge and the acting area of a subject for choosing its complements. After this pairing process between a subject and its complement, this paper proposes three cognitive parameters concerned with the right choice of a copula between the two selected items. Whether the chosen copula is appropriate or not will be filtered by restorability, desirability, and perfectiveness. By proposing and explaining those three cognitive parameters, this paper suggests that English copulas should also be learned by understanding the formation of meaning mechanism by us human beings' mental activities.

This paper adopts a frame-based analysis on the issue of the typology of Chinese causative verbs 使（shǐ）and 让 (ràng) (shǐ and ràng, afterwards) which puts challenges to several well-established cognitive approaches including force dynamic models and direct/indirect causation theory. In a frame-based analysis, these two polysemous verbs are distributed into different frames according to the pattern of force interaction denoted by the verbs. Therefore, this analysis successfully solves the obscure boundary problem raised by the polysemous property of shǐ and ràng. This study introduces a new way to study verbal semantics and semantic-syntactic interface. Especially, it points out a new direction to studying polysemous words.

The diversity of euphemistic command in English is worth studying if the aim of linguistics is to fully understand the human mind. It is clear that some euphemistic degrees are found among various command-expressions with semantic and syntactic differences although they bear the same message and usage. Euphemism is a generally innocuous expression used instead of offensive or unpleasant one. That is, the aim of euphemism is to alleviate hearers' offensive and unpleasant feelings of something, and the way of euphemism, to express those indirectly. Thus, degrees of euphemism from speakers' attitudes can not but be expressed in various indirect expressions. Syntactic differences show that euphemistic degrees are gradually raised or lowered in accordance with (in-)directness of expressing the same message: questions > statements > directives. And speakers' attitudes also produce the euphemistic degrees of tense and mood: past > present, and subjunctive > indicative > imperative, respectively.

The study on identification and definition of parts of speech or word classes began from Greek/Latin tradition in early days. Most approaches on parts of speech were based on semantic criteria. As time passes, it has changed into the study on the relation between words in a sentence, and on function and form. The approaches, however, have not fully gained appreciation among scholars. Even though many attempts have been made to set up proper parts of speech systems, the clear classification of them has been known to be far from perfection. This paper provides an overview of parts of speech or word classes and diverse parts of speech systems of some languages, and suggests that typological approaches to parts of speech classification depending on the syntactic properties of languages are the ideal way.

This study probes whether relative frequency is a potential factor which can determine Korean L2 speakers' access to morphologically complex words and whether their processing pattern varies according to affix type and participants' L2 proficiency. A processing experiment was conducted whereby Korean L2 speakers rated English affixed words as more complex and measured their percentages and reaction time. Our results exhibited that subjects judged as more complex the forms where the whole derived words were less frequent than their embedded base forms and that the words which were more frequent than their base forms were judged as less complex in a robust manner like L1 speakers. Further, such a trend did not vary according to their proficiency level and affix type. These findings provide supportive evidence that relative frequency facilitates L2 speakers' processing of morphologically complex words. Additionally, they imply that they access L2 derived words through decomposition to constituents such as base forms, supporting dual-route model. Finally, the relative frequency might emerge from an earlier stage of L2 development, coupled with the possibility that affixed words are represented along with frequency of the whole words and their constituents.

This paper explores the propositional content of subject it- extrapositions, which has received less attention because of individuality and variety in itself but may contribute to the pedagogical significance of studying grammatical features in relation to communicative functions. Using methods sections of international research articles in applied linguistics, I scrutinize the propositional content in order to understand when and where expert writers employ extrapositions. An analysis of extrapositions, referring to a possible counterpart, first person subject pronouns in the methods section, shows that content presented in it-clauses covers one not only applicable to present research or researchers but also general research or researchers in applied linguistics. Furthermore, a comparison of the journal papers is made with Korean students' master's theses. The findings indicate that the students may not fully understand the communicative or rhetorical function. The examination of the propositional content is hoped to help students who are still vaguely using it - clauses.

This study aims to investigate the relative clause attachment resolution process of second language learners of English from various aspects. Three experiments were conducted: off-line test(Expt. 1), on-line test(Expt. 2), and a quasi-interview survey of their strategy(Expt. 3). As a result, second language learners of English showed different RC attachment preferences from native speakers of English in the off-line test; however they showed similar preferences of NP2 following the recency effects. Also, the different RC attachment preferences were observed between the off-line test and on-line test among the participants, second language learners of English. The results from reading time and responding time measurement in the experiment 2 and the strategy survey in experiment 3 supported these asymmetric results between the two tests. The findings may have implications that second language learners of English do not follow the consistent and complete cognitive process for the RC attachment resolution process.
