초록

Previous studies of -to in Korean have assumed a certain degree of parallelism between the Korean particle and too in English. This paper presents a set of cases involving -to in Korean which stand in clear contrast with the usage of too in English. Following Kripke's observation that too in English requires an antecedent in active contexts, Geurts and van der Sandt and others treat it as an anaphoric presupposition trigger and relate the anaphoricity of the particle with its inability to accommodate its presupposition. We show that -to in Korean cannot be handled by an anaphoric approach because it can either have antecedents in non-active contexts, or no antecedent at all. We propose a non-anaphoric analysis of Korean -to and argue that the lack of anaphoricity of -to allows it to accommodate its presupposition easily, unlike too in English.

Abstract
