Internally Headed Relative Clause Constructions in Korean
This paper attempts to analyze some grammatical aspects of the so called internally-headed relative clause construction in Korean. This paper proposes that the meaning of the external head kes is underspecified in the sense that its semantic content is filled in by co-indexing it to the internal head under appropriate conditions. This paper also argues that interpretation of kes is determined b...
متن کاملDifferences between Externally and Internally Headed Relative Clause Constructions
They all describe events of an apple’s being on the tray and Tom’s eating it. But, there exist several intriguing differences between the two constructions. One crucial difference between the IHRC and EHRC comes from the fact that the semantic object of mekessta ‘ate’ in IHRC examples like (1)a is the NP sakwa ‘apple’ buried inside the embedded clause followed by kes. It is thus the subject of ...
متن کاملA Computational Implementation of Internally Headed Relative Clause Constructions
The so-called Internally Headed Relative Clause (IHRC) construction found in the head-final languages Korean and Japanese has received little attention from computational perspectives even though it is frequently found in both text and speech. This is partly because there have been no grammars precise enough to allow deep processing of the construction’s syntactic and semantic properties. This ...
متن کاملTowards a More Articulated Typology of Internally Headed Relative Constructions: The Semantics Connection
This article outlines the shortcomings found in two well-known syntax-based typologies of internally headed relative constructions (IHRCs), and demonstrates the benefits of a typology that relies on the syntax-semantics interface and takes semantics seriously into account. It is argued that the latter approach yields a more revealing and empirically superior typology of IHRCs. 1. Introductory R...
متن کاملQualia Structure and the Accessibility of Arguments : Japanese Internally-Headed Relative Clauses with Implicit Target
The relationship between lexicon and pragmatics has been one of the most controversial issues in recent studies in linguistics. Lexicon in the conservative definition encodes only the information responsible for the regular syntactic mapping of lexical items. Any information that is not directly reflected in the syntactic structure is attributed to pragmatics. A more recent trend, in contrast, ...
