One fundamental question stands out in Multiple Nominative Constructions (MNCs) literature: how are the so-called Major Subjects (Kuroda 1986, Yoon, 2007) licensed? The goal of this paper is to bring a new perspective on this licensing issue. This paper proposes that Major Subjects in various types of Korean MNCs (i.e., Adjunct MNCs, Possessive MNCs and Oblique MNCs) are introduced and licensed by a specific functional head called an ‘Applicative’ head whose main function is to introduce an ‘additional/applied’ argument that is not lexically selected by a main predicate (Pylkkänen 2002, Cuervo 2003). This paper specifically argues that Korean applicative head s-selects only state/property-denoting phrases as its complements. The welcome result of this proposal is that three different types of MNCs receive a uniform treatment: for possessive MNCs, a high Appl selects either a property-denoting VP or a (resultant) state-denoting VP. For oblique MNCs, a low Appl selects a property-denoting NPs. Finally, for adjunct MNCs which I argue are root modal sentences, a high Appl selects a modalized/stativized VP as its complement. The applicative head relates these NPs/VPs to Major Subjects and uniformly assigns a holder role to them.
Abstract
One fundamental question stands out in Multiple Nominative Constructions (MNCs) literature: how are the so-called Major Subjects (Kuroda 1986, Yoon, 2007) licensed? The goal of this paper is to bring a new perspective on this licensing issue. This paper proposes that Major Subjects in various types of Korean MNCs (i.e., Adjunct MNCs, Possessive MNCs and Oblique MNCs) are introduced and licensed by a specific functional head called an ‘Applicative’ head whose main function is to introduce an ‘additional/applied’ argument that is not lexically selected by a main predicate (Pylkkänen 2002, Cuervo 2003). This paper specifically argues that Korean applicative head s-selects only state/property-denoting phrases as its complements. The welcome result of this proposal is that three different types of MNCs receive a uniform treatment: for possessive MNCs, a high Appl selects either a property-denoting VP or a (resultant) state-denoting VP. For oblique MNCs, a low Appl selects a property-denoting NPs. Finally, for adjunct MNCs which I argue are root modal sentences, a high Appl selects a modalized/stativized VP as its complement. The applicative head relates these NPs/VPs to Major Subjects and uniformly assigns a holder role to them.
