초록

The main purpose of this paper is to give an account of two different interrogatives with long-form negation (LFN) in Korean, with special attention to the polarity of the sentence. The crucial data consists of non-negative interrogative constructions involving LFN following tense. We argue that there are two different loci for LFNs in Korean and each LFN serves a different role, depending on its structural position with respect to PolP (e.g. polarity or Verum Focus marker). We try to explain the non-negativity of LFN following tense at issue under a syntactic analysis, claiming it is the by-product of the unsuccessful culmination of the agreement between PolP and NegP (cf. Preminger 2014). Furthermore, we offer the novel perspective of the non-negative LFN interrogative as a type of tag question in Korean. This article therefore sheds new light on the distribution of negation in interrogatives and its role as an overtly realized Verum marker.
