초록

This paper examines the left periphery of CP in Korean and shows how the syntactic positions are correlated with the particular interpretation such as topic and focus. I propose that CP has TopP and FocP in order between C and T. I assume that Top and Foc inherit EF (Edge Feature) from the phase head C following Chomsky (2005). The EF can then raise any DPs to these positions. Such movement is characterized as topicalization or focalization. It is claimed that long-distance preposing is uniformly focalization. The long-distance quantifier raising is also analyzed as a focalization process with the scope reconstruction effects: it is not semantically vacuous. Scrambling is analyzed as movement within a phase without any semantic import. Thus ambiguous meanings from the free word order phenomenon are accounted for by different operations, not by scrambling only. The particular interpretation is obtained by the syntactic position that an element occupies.

Abstract

This paper examines the left periphery of CP in Korean and shows how the syntactic positions are correlated with the particular interpretation such as topic and focus. I propose that CP has TopP and FocP in order between C and T. I assume that Top and Foc inherit EF (Edge Feature) from the phase head C following Chomsky (2005). The EF can then raise any DPs to these positions. Such movement is characterized as topicalization or focalization. It is claimed that long-distance preposing is uniformly focalization. The long-distance quantifier raising is also analyzed as a focalization process with the scope reconstruction effects: it is not semantically vacuous. Scrambling is analyzed as movement within a phase without any semantic import. Thus ambiguous meanings from the free word order phenomenon are accounted for by different operations, not by scrambling only. The particular interpretation is obtained by the syntactic position that an element occupies.
