초록
I propose in this paper that the nature of the so-called genitive Case marker uy in Korean should be reconsidered. More specifically, working under the formulation of Case in generative grammar―in particular, its GB and Minimalist incarnation, I argue that despite its traditional designation as a Case marker, the occurrence of uy actually does not entail or correlate with Case-licensing of its host. To this effect, I show that uy attaches, sometimes obligatorily, to elements which under standard assumptions do not require Case at all. Then I go on to argue that uy is in an allomorphic relation with some other element in the language used for marking prenominal verbal and adjectival modifiers, which further supports the claim that uy is not to be considered a genuine indictor of Case-licensing. Regarding the nature of the allomorphic variation in question, I argue that these elements instantiate an abstract prenominal inflection. This is supported by the fact that in Middle Korean, this abstract prenominal inflection was in fact realized overtly. This further strengthens the current proposal concerning the status of uy in that the primary function of the prenominal inflection, which is realized as uy in proper contexts in Modern Korean, was not to mark Case-licensing. Finally, I suggest that the function of uy is to make Merge in prenominal position possible, essentially following Cho & Sells (1994) and Chomsky (2008).
Abstract
