초록
Korean distinguishes two types of verbal conjunctions: tensed and tenseless. Among these two types, tensed verbal conjunction has been considered IP-level coordination since the tense marker appears in both conjuncts. Tenseless verbal conjunction, on the other hand, has been considered VP-level coordination since the tense marker appears only in the final conjunct, and it is suggested that the tense and negation in the final conjunct has their scope over both conjuncts (e.g. Yoon 1994). However, tenseless verbal conjunction is divided into sequential and non-sequential conjunctions, and more recent research (e.g. Kwon 2004; Cho 2005) has shown that sequential and non-sequential conjunctions have different syntactic structures. In this paper, it is shown that the behaviors of sequential and non-sequential conjunctions are different not only syntactically but also semantically, especially with respect to the interpretation of tense and negation in the final conjunct; unlike the initial conjunct of non-sequential tenseless conjunction, the initial conjunct of sequential conjunction (ICSC) is out of the scope of the tense and negation in the final conjunct. This difference in relation to tense and negation, thus, provides additional support for the claim that the two types of conjunctions have different syntactic structures, i.e. ICSC is an adverbial adjunct.
Abstract
Korean distinguishes two types of verbal conjunctions: tensed and tenseless. Among these two types, tensed verbal conjunction has been considered IP-level coordination since the tense marker appears in both conjuncts. Tenseless verbal conjunction, on the other hand, has been considered VP-level coordination since the tense marker appears only in the final conjunct, and it is suggested that the tense and negation in the final conjunct has their scope over both conjuncts (e.g. Yoon 1994). However, tenseless verbal conjunction is divided into sequential and non-sequential conjunctions, and more recent research (e.g. Kwon 2004; Cho 2005) has shown that sequential and non-sequential conjunctions have different syntactic structures. In this paper, it is shown that the behaviors of sequential and non-sequential conjunctions are different not only syntactically but also semantically, especially with respect to the interpretation of tense and negation in the final conjunct; unlike the initial conjunct of non-sequential tenseless conjunction, the initial conjunct of sequential conjunction (ICSC) is out of the scope of the tense and negation in the final conjunct. This difference in relation to tense and negation, thus, provides additional support for the claim that the two types of conjunctions have different syntactic structures, i.e. ICSC is an adverbial adjunct.
