This paper aims to provide a formal account of morphological selection of Korean before and after clauses in terms of semantics. Being tenseless however marked with different morphemes, Korean before and after clauses shed a new light on the discussions of selectional requirements of before and after clauses. I will show that before and after in Korean exhibit the schism based on the presence of Earliest operator of the type <i,t>,t> only in after clauses, which is in nature a pronoun. This will be confirmed with various tests including the distribution of mod-insertion rule (cf. Kitagawa and Ross 1982, An 2014 among others) in the relevant data. As a result, the complement of {Earliest, After} has to be relativized to provide a correct syntactic/semantic composition in after clauses. In contrast to Korean after, Korean before doesn’t involve such pronominal element therefore it does not require the relativization of the embedded clause.
Abstract
This paper aims to provide a formal account of morphological selection of Korean before and after clauses in terms of semantics. Being tenseless however marked with different morphemes, Korean before and after clauses shed a new light on the discussions of selectional requirements of before and after clauses. I will show that before and after in Korean exhibit the schism based on the presence of Earliest operator of the type <i,t>,t> only in after clauses, which is in nature a pronoun. This will be confirmed with various tests including the distribution of mod-insertion rule (cf. Kitagawa and Ross 1982, An 2014 among others) in the relevant data. As a result, the complement of {Earliest, After} has to be relativized to provide a correct syntactic/semantic composition in after clauses. In contrast to Korean after, Korean before doesn’t involve such pronominal element therefore it does not require the relativization of the embedded clause.
