This paper aims to investigate scrambling within noun phrase in Korean. The ordering of constituents within the noun phrases is variable. However, despite this variability, the noun must be final in its phrase. The behavior of the noun mimics that of the verb, which also appears phrase-finally. However, this restriction on scrambling of noun within noun phrases cannot be explained by the restriction against scrambling semantically incomplete expressions (Lee, 2007a). It follows from the standard minimalist notion that movement is economical in that movement of a constituent requires a trigger. That trigger may be a formal syntactic property that must be checked in the terminology of Chomsky (1995) because it is uninterpretable at LF or it should make available an added semantic or pragmatic property associated with the added derivational work (Fox, 2000). From this perspective, I expect scrambling within the noun phrase to pattern differently from its counterpart in the clause. This paper shows that scrambling within noun phrases is the movement to the specifier of DelP, a function projection introducing noun phrases in Korean. The weight of the evidence also shows that scrambling of pre-nominal modifiers to this position is A-bar scrambling in that it shows reconstruction effects and in this regard is quite different from scrambling at the clausal level.
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate scrambling within noun phrase in Korean. The ordering of constituents within the noun phrases is variable. However, despite this variability, the noun must be final in its phrase. The behavior of the noun mimics that of the verb, which also appears phrase-finally. However, this restriction on scrambling of noun within noun phrases cannot be explained by the restriction against scrambling semantically incomplete expressions (Lee, 2007a). It follows from the standard minimalist notion that movement is economical in that movement of a constituent requires a trigger. That trigger may be a formal syntactic property that must be checked in the terminology of Chomsky (1995) because it is uninterpretable at LF or it should make available an added semantic or pragmatic property associated with the added derivational work (Fox, 2000). From this perspective, I expect scrambling within the noun phrase to pattern differently from its counterpart in the clause. This paper shows that scrambling within noun phrases is the movement to the specifier of DelP, a function projection introducing noun phrases in Korean. The weight of the evidence also shows that scrambling of pre-nominal modifiers to this position is A-bar scrambling in that it shows reconstruction effects and in this regard is quite different from scrambling at the clausal level.
