초록
This work observes, and tries to provide an account of, an interpretive asymmetry that two types of fragmental questions in Korean display. A fragmental question that ends with a contrastive topic delimiter -(n)un (dubbed as a contrastive topic fragment, CTF) produces a wh-question reading (Chung 2020, 2021a, b cf. Park 2021), whereas a fragmental question with a case particle or delimiter other than -(n)un does not. The asymmetry is attributed to a difference in the locus of focus: the CT marker -(n)un requires the presence of a focal element in the post-(n)un position (Chung 2021a, b, cf. Kim 2018), while fragments with a non-(n)un particle are themselves foci. Being contained in an ellipsis site, the focus in the CTF has to bear a focus value but not an ordinary value in the sense of Rooth (1985) due to the E-givenness Condition on ellipsis (Merchant 2001). Thus, a wh-phrase is a perfect candidate to fulfill the requirement. In contrast, no wh-phrase is allowed in the ellipsis site of a non-(n)un-marked fragment due to the intervention effect (Beck 2006, Beck and Kim 1997).
Abstract
This work observes, and tries to provide an account of, an interpretive asymmetry that two types of fragmental questions in Korean display. A fragmental question that ends with a contrastive topic delimiter -(n)un (dubbed as a contrastive topic fragment, CTF) produces a wh-question reading (Chung 2020, 2021a, b cf. Park 2021), whereas a fragmental question with a case particle or delimiter other than -(n)un does not. The asymmetry is attributed to a difference in the locus of focus: the CT marker -(n)un requires the presence of a focal element in the post-(n)un position (Chung 2021a, b, cf. Kim 2018), while fragments with a non-(n)un particle are themselves foci. Being contained in an ellipsis site, the focus in the CTF has to bear a focus value but not an ordinary value in the sense of Rooth (1985) due to the E-givenness Condition on ellipsis (Merchant 2001). Thus, a wh-phrase is a perfect candidate to fulfill the requirement. In contrast, no wh-phrase is allowed in the ellipsis site of a non-(n)un-marked fragment due to the intervention effect (Beck 2006, Beck and Kim 1997).
