초록
Within the Minimalist framework (e.g., Chomsky 2000), where the syntactic computation is interpreted cyclically in phases as the derivation is built up, it is predicted that there should be a strict structural boundary restricting idiomatic interpretations. Voice, which merges external to VP and introduces an agent, is argued to be one such boundary. This paper argues that another VP-external head, high applicative head (ApplH) can also restrict the domain of idiomatic interpretation, but a VP-internal head, such as low applicative head cannot, by providing evidence from Korean and Japanese. Expanding on the proposed approach to idioms, this paper also shows how a phase-based account of idioms interacts with passivization. Given that passivization is not always possible with the direct object of idioms, this paper proposes that this is because a phase head may be a part of idiomatic expressions. The proposed analysis provides a unified account of the structural restrictions on idiomatic interpretation across languages. Theoretically, this paper lends novel empirical support to a cyclic domain of semantic interpretation, i.e., phase, as ApplH, like Voice, constitutes a phasal head.
Abstract
Within the Minimalist framework (e.g., Chomsky 2000), where the syntactic computation is interpreted cyclically in phases as the derivation is built up, it is predicted that there should be a strict structural boundary restricting idiomatic interpretations. Voice, which merges external to VP and introduces an agent, is argued to be one such boundary. This paper argues that another VP-external head, high applicative head (ApplH) can also restrict the domain of idiomatic interpretation, but a VP-internal head, such as low applicative head cannot, by providing evidence from Korean and Japanese. Expanding on the proposed approach to idioms, this paper also shows how a phase-based account of idioms interacts with passivization. Given that passivization is not always possible with the direct object of idioms, this paper proposes that this is because a phase head may be a part of idiomatic expressions. The proposed analysis provides a unified account of the structural restrictions on idiomatic interpretation across languages. Theoretically, this paper lends novel empirical support to a cyclic domain of semantic interpretation, i.e., phase, as ApplH, like Voice, constitutes a phasal head.
