초록

The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(4). 1-23. This paper aims to analyze topic constructions in Korean under the framework of the minimalist program. It is claimed that there exist two types of topicalization in Korean: one by overt syntactic movement like English, and the other by base-generation. For gapped constructions, the Edge Feature (EF) of the topic head derives the raising of Case-marked topic DPs while covert movement of the null pronominal topic operator licenses the base-generated nun-marked topic DPs. For non-gapped constructions, it is claimed that the semantic-pragmatic analysis must be made. Thus both the syntactic and semantic-pragmatic approach on the one hand and both the movement and base-generation analysis on the other hand are claimed to account for topic constructions in Korean.

Abstract

The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(4). 1-23. This paper aims to analyze topic constructions in Korean under the framework of the minimalist program. It is claimed that there exist two types of topicalization in Korean: one by overt syntactic movement like English, and the other by base-generation. For gapped constructions, the Edge Feature (EF) of the topic head derives the raising of Case-marked topic DPs while covert movement of the null pronominal topic operator licenses the base-generated nun-marked topic DPs. For non-gapped constructions, it is claimed that the semantic-pragmatic analysis must be made. Thus both the syntactic and semantic-pragmatic approach on the one hand and both the movement and base-generation analysis on the other hand are claimed to account for topic constructions in Korean.
