This paper claims that zero forms must be treated as topics when we understand the notion of topic in a precise and broad manner. Previously, Huang (1984) has suggested that zero forms are the outcomes of Topic NP deletion. However, Kim (2003) has refuted his claim with examples that construe topics in a narrow sense. This paper embraces the notion of topic proposed by Kuppevelt (1995) and argues that, under his program, we can legitimately claim that zero forms are indeed topics. Characterizing the nature of zero forms as topics, this paper corrects Kim (2003)'s optimality-theoretic analysis on zero pronouns. First, this paper newly proposes the Topic Establishment Constraint that replaces Kim's (2003) Center Continue Constraint that encounters a number of counter-examples and then ranks it as the highest constraint, adequately capturing the very nature of zero pronouns.
Abstract
This paper claims that zero forms must be treated as topics when we understand the notion of topic in a precise and broad manner. Previously, Huang (1984) has suggested that zero forms are the outcomes of Topic NP deletion. However, Kim (2003) has refuted his claim with examples that construe topics in a narrow sense. This paper embraces the notion of topic proposed by Kuppevelt (1995) and argues that, under his program, we can legitimately claim that zero forms are indeed topics. Characterizing the nature of zero forms as topics, this paper corrects Kim (2003)'s optimality-theoretic analysis on zero pronouns. First, this paper newly proposes the Topic Establishment Constraint that replaces Kim's (2003) Center Continue Constraint that encounters a number of counter-examples and then ranks it as the highest constraint, adequately capturing the very nature of zero pronouns.
