This paper claims that the construction of passive structures may rely on pragmatic factors, such as subject choice, thematicity, and the speaker’s Empathy. English and Korean passive constructions will be discussed with regard to these factors, and the possibilities of embracing the pragmatic factors into the syntactic configuration will also be considered. Chomsky (1981), Merchant (2007), Bošković (2007), and Borer (2005) will be discussed, especially in pursuit of assessing the impact of pragmatic factors upon the syntactic realization of feature checking. Data discussed in this paper are mostly from Kim (1984, 1988, 1995). Various non-syntactic factors, closely interacting with syntax, may give explanation for the acceptability status of sentences. Among these, we will be arguing that the selection of the subject NP and the speaker’s Empathy are crucial in the decision of making the passive construction. According to Kuno (1975, 2004), Empathy is the speaker’s identification, which may vary in degree, with a person/thing that participates in the event or state that he/she describes in a sentence. We claim that the pragmatic factors are specified under C of CP, and the relevant NP of IP. Both features of CP and IP need be checked to be realized as grammatical information and be completed in the formation of passives
Abstract
This paper claims that the construction of passive structures may rely on pragmatic factors, such as subject choice, thematicity, and the speaker’s Empathy. English and Korean passive constructions will be discussed with regard to these factors, and the possibilities of embracing the pragmatic factors into the syntactic configuration will also be considered. Chomsky (1981), Merchant (2007), Bošković (2007), and Borer (2005) will be discussed, especially in pursuit of assessing the impact of pragmatic factors upon the syntactic realization of feature checking. Data discussed in this paper are mostly from Kim (1984, 1988, 1995). Various non-syntactic factors, closely interacting with syntax, may give explanation for the acceptability status of sentences. Among these, we will be arguing that the selection of the subject NP and the speaker’s Empathy are crucial in the decision of making the passive construction. According to Kuno (1975, 2004), Empathy is the speaker’s identification, which may vary in degree, with a person/thing that participates in the event or state that he/she describes in a sentence. We claim that the pragmatic factors are specified under C of CP, and the relevant NP of IP. Both features of CP and IP need be checked to be realized as grammatical information and be completed in the formation of passives
