This paper proposes a mapping algorithm for generic constructions. By adopting, yet modifying Diesing’s (1992) proposal, I suggest a mapping structure for generic interpretation. In particular, primarily based on Korean data, I pin down TopP/FocP as the scope for the generic operator. This new mapping algorithm can be further applied to the so-called ECM construction where the semantic subject of the embedded clause carries the accusative case, which always begged the question about its precise structural position. If the proposed mapping system is true, it can shed new light on this matter. In addition, I also present evidence against inherently dividing verbs into stage-level and individual-level, arguing for a distinction purely dependent on syntactic contexts. Given this, the proposed mapping algorithm in this paper can provide an account for the generic representation in kind-referring indefinite nominals and in characterizing predicates together.
Abstract
This paper proposes a mapping algorithm for generic constructions. By adopting, yet modifying Diesing’s (1992) proposal, I suggest a mapping structure for generic interpretation. In particular, primarily based on Korean data, I pin down TopP/FocP as the scope for the generic operator. This new mapping algorithm can be further applied to the so-called ECM construction where the semantic subject of the embedded clause carries the accusative case, which always begged the question about its precise structural position. If the proposed mapping system is true, it can shed new light on this matter. In addition, I also present evidence against inherently dividing verbs into stage-level and individual-level, arguing for a distinction purely dependent on syntactic contexts. Given this, the proposed mapping algorithm in this paper can provide an account for the generic representation in kind-referring indefinite nominals and in characterizing predicates together.
