초록
The current study aims at providing an account for the licensing of negative polarity items in the so called INP (inherently negative predicate) contexts. Sohn (1995) claims, following Progovac (1988) and Laka (1990), that there is a negative complementizer or operator in Korean just as in English, Spain, and Basque and this negative complementizer, selected by an INP, can license an NPI within the embedded clause. Chung (2006) reports that not just an NPI within the embedded clause, but an NPI appearing as a matrix subject can be licensed in the INP context. After showing that this is not explained by Sohn (1995), Chung proposes an alternative analysis – the complex predicate analysis. However there are also some nontrivial problems in Chung’s analysis as well and an alternative analysis is proposed which can account for the new sets of data as well as old ones. It will be shown that a slightly revised version of Sohn’s negative operator analysis (a new NOA) can advance our understanding on the NPI licensing in the INP contexts.
Abstract
The current study aims at providing an account for the licensing of negative polarity items in the so called INP (inherently negative predicate) contexts.

Chung (2006) reports that not just an NPI within the embedded clause, but an NPI appearing as a matrix subject can be licensed in the INP context. After showing that this is not explained by Sohn (1995), Chung proposes an alternative analysis – the complex predicate analysis. However there are also some nontrivial problems in Chung’s analysis as well and an alternative analysis is proposed which can account for the new sets of data as well as old ones.
