초록
The aim of this paper is to examine the properties of a hitherto overlooked type of fragmentary question in Korean, called a ‘meta-why question,’ which consists of only a wh-phrase way ‘why’ or at most the same phrase plus an XP. To do so, we address three questions: (i) What is the distribution of meta-why questions in Korean?; (ii) do they start as a full clause with some part of the structure elided, or as a nonsentential unit without a hidden structure?; and (iii) what does their syntactic structure look like? After showing that the meta-why question always requires an interrogative as its antecedent clause, we argue, building on Woods and Vicente’s (2021) analysis of the English equivalent, that the wh-phrase way ‘why’ has survived the deletion of a larger structure and functions as a speech act modifier. We also suggest a hybrid structure above the propositional domain by combining Speas and Tenny’s (2003) speech act projections with Wiltschko’s (2021, 2022) interactional layers, one of which is taken to select a question as its propositional complement.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the properties of a hitherto overlooked type of fragmentary question in Korean, called a ‘meta-why question,’ which consists of only a wh-phrase way ‘why’ or at most the same phrase plus an XP. To do so, we address three questions: (i) What is the distribution of meta-why questions in Korean?; (ii) do they start as a full clause with some part of the structure elided, or as a nonsentential unit without a hidden structure?; and (iii) what does their syntactic structure look like? After showing that the meta-why question always requires an interrogative as its antecedent clause, we argue, building on Woods and Vicente’s (2021) analysis of the English equivalent, that the wh-phrase way ‘why’ has survived the deletion of a larger structure and functions as a speech act modifier. We also suggest a hybrid structure above the propositional domain by combining Speas and Tenny’s (2003) speech act projections with Wiltschko’s (2021, 2022) interactional layers, one of which is taken to select a question as its propositional complement.
