초록
To explain the properties of reduced auxiliaries in English, some studies presume the interaction with syntactic structures, and others claim pure phonological approaches. Many proposals employing the syntactic mechanism, however, still depend on the superficial facts with the rules describing their syntactic processes such as displacement and deletion. Though we agree that auxiliary reduction in English is a phonological phenomenon, we argue that some syntactic mechanisms affect the phonological process of reduction. We argue that the phonological reduction of auxiliaries, i.e., encliticization of auxiliary verbs is partly affected by the subject incorporation to the auxiliary verb, i.e., procliticization of subject elements. So the goal of this study is to show that the process procliticization in English can be explained with the mechanism of “Specifier Incorporation to Head” operated under the Specifier Incorporation Principle (SIP) suggested in van Gelderen (2006) along with the notion of C-to-T feature inheritance (Chomsky (2004, 2005)).
Abstract
To explain the properties of reduced auxiliaries in English, some studies presume the interaction with syntactic structures, and others claim pure phonological approaches. Many proposals employing the syntactic mechanism, however, still depend on the superficial facts with the rules describing their syntactic processes such as displacement and deletion. Though we agree that auxiliary reduction in English is a phonological phenomenon, we argue that some syntactic mechanisms affect the phonological process of reduction. We argue that the phonological reduction of auxiliaries, i.e., encliticization of auxiliary verbs is partly affected by the subject incorporation to the auxiliary verb, i.e., procliticization of subject elements. So the goal of this study is to show that the process procliticization in English can be explained with the mechanism of “Specifier Incorporation to Head” operated under the Specifier Incorporation Principle (SIP) suggested in van Gelderen (2006) along with the notion of C-to-T feature inheritance (Chomsky (2004, 2005)).
