This paper investigates what we call fragment or remnant constructions in Korean. We first examine whether it is appropriate to classify them into two sub-types, namely matrix and embedded remnant constructions. On the presence and absence of a copular verb occurring right after a remnant expression we argue that there is no good reason in distinguishing the two sub-types. Second, we note that a negative polarity item in Korean can be realized alone as a matrix remnant, but not as a embedded one. We account for this fact by adopting Boskovič's (2000) idea that a certain functional element like negation can be inserted innocuously at the top of the tree at a relevant point of derivation where an NPI undergoes interpretation. Third, we note that there is a distinction between information- and contrast- focused remnants in terms of retention of a postposition attached to them. We attribute this distinction between them to the referential properties of overt and covert subject of the constructions at issue.
Abstract
This paper investigates what we call fragment or remnant constructions in Korean. We first examine whether it is appropriate to classify them into two sub-types, namely matrix and embedded remnant constructions. On the presence and absence of a copular verb occurring right after a remnant expression we argue that there is no good reason in distinguishing the two sub-types. Second, we note that a negative polarity item in Korean can be realized alone as a matrix remnant, but not as a embedded one. We account for this fact by adopting Boskovič's (2000) idea that a certain functional element like negation can be inserted innocuously at the top of the tree at a relevant point of derivation where an NPI undergoes interpretation. Third, we note that there is a distinction between information- and contrast- focused remnants in terms of retention of a postposition attached to them. We attribute this distinction between them to the referential properties of overt and covert subject of the constructions at issue.
