Nominal Markers and Word Order in Korean
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between case and free word order in Korean by providing proper LP constraints which solve the problems of the previous analyses such as Kuno's (1980) Crossing-Over Constraint (COC). Based on Cho & Chai (2000), we introduce a new type marker which includes case, postpositions, and delimiters. We also add the Adjunct LP Constraint and the Argument LP Constraint adapted from the two LP constraints of Cho & Chai (2000). Our LP constraints present a solution to the alleged counterexamples of Cho & Chai (2000) as well as to the problems of Kuno (1980). The newly postulated type marker enables us to account for the scrambling possibilities of the NPs containing postpositions and delimiters.

Descriptive Semantics of the Nominal Hapax Legomenon of the Word Menhaj and the Pathology of its Three Translations (Meybodi, Makarem Shirazi and Ansarian)
Understanding the Quran depends upon appreciating meanings of the single words and concepts that are interconnected and interrelated like a chain. Nominal hapax legomenon in the Quran is a word that occurs only once in the holy Quran. Hence, such words need semantic scrutiny since they are difficult to understand. Accordingly, understanding hapax legomenons calls for examining and identifying t...
متن کاملOvert Case and Covert Case in Korean*46
In this paper, I concern myself with the relationship of overt and covert Case to two types of word order in Korean; free vs. rigid word order. To characterize this relationship I will essentially assume the Attract-F theory in Chomsky 1995. I assume that (overt) Case markers are Ds with phonological features and Case features, and phonologically null (covert) Case markers also exist as their c...
متن کاملRecursion Problems in Concatenation : A Case of Korean Morphology
Without properly constraining recursions in generation, no language system can effectively operate. This is especially so with morphological generation, for each well-formed word must be finite in length and is accepted as such only when it actually occurs in text or ordinary usage. This difficulty is compounded when a language system tries to maintain a single rule of concatenation and apply i...
متن کاملCount and Mass Nouns in Dëne S né
Dëne S né (short: Dëne), an Athapaskan language of Northern Canada, does not have any number-related grammatical categories in the nominal domain. Word order is SOV; nominals are optional (Cook 2004, Rice & Saxon 2005). The language lacks articles, case markers, etc., so that when nominal constituents occur, they are often bare nouns. (1) shows bare noun subjects, objects, and postpositional ob...
متن کاملRelativization in Korean ko Constructions: A Topological Solution
Using a linearization formalism in the framework of dependency grammars, this article proposes a simple analysis of new data on word order constraints in Korean ko construction composed of three verbs V3-ko V2 V1. It will be shown that V3-ko rejoins the verb cluster in the case of extraction of its nominal dependent, while V3-ko forms an independent constituent with its dependent in the case wh...
