Abstract
Cho, Sae-Youn & Jong-Bok Kim. 2002. Echoed Verb Constructions in Korean: A Construction-Based HPSG Analysis. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 27-4, 661-681. In terms of truth conditional meaning, there is no difference between Korean Echoed Verb Constructions (EVC) and its declarative counterpart. Issues in EVC are that the constructions exhibit various grammatical idiosyncrasies. The EVC construction has been treated within derivational frameworks with the mechanisms of Head-to-Head movement and Chain Constraint. However, a careful examination of these views reveals that they seem to have theoretical and empirical difficulties accounting for further EVC data. To provide a simpler explanation for further EVC data, we claim that the EVC is a type of syntactic contrastive topic construction with its own constructional constraints. Such a construction-based analysis will enable us to explain general as well as idiosyncratic properties of the EVC in Korean. (Honam University & Kyung Hee University)
