초록
We argue that uses of the Korean form kes in copular sentences, in which it appears to function sometimes as a nominalizer and sometimes as a marker of a cleft or pseudo-cleft construction. All of these fall under a simple analysis once the information-structure properties of copular clauses are taken into consideration: that they have predicative and equative uses (independently of kes). We propose that a kes-phrase may identify an all-new referent, or it may refer to a previously-established one; but it may not have a predicative use ― it may not provide further descriptive information about a referent already established.
Abstract
We argue that uses of the Korean form kes in copular sentences, in which it appears to function sometimes as a nominalizer and sometimes as a marker of a cleft or pseudo-cleft construction. All of these fall under a simple analysis once the information-structure properties of copular clauses are taken into consideration: that they have predicative and equative uses (independently of kes). We propose that a kes-phrase may identify an all-new referent, or it may refer to a previously-established one; but it may not have a predicative use ― it may not provide further descriptive information about a referent already established.
