초록
The present study aims to investigate what are crucial factors that influence Subjecthood in Korean when the NPs with different GRs are in a different position (possible Subject position vs. non-Subject position), especially concerning two selected Subject properties – honorification and copying of plural morpheme. An experimental investigation using Magnitude Estimation (ME), composed of sentences representing three factors (agreement with Subject vs. non-Subject, word order, GRs of NP) in two Subjecthood diagnostics, was conducted with Korean native speakers. Overall results demonstrated the following: i) The sentences with Subject NP controller (i.e., when the Subject has [+hon] or [+pl] feature) got higher acceptability compared to non-Subject NP controllers; ii) Different GRs of NP had less than half of the strength compared to the factor related to Subject vs. non-Subject in determining acceptability of sentences; iii) Scrambling of the NP controller to a different position had little effect on the acceptability; iv) Among the 3 factors, agreement (i.e., whether Subject or non-Subject controls the relevant feature ([+hon] and [+pl]) played the most crucial role in determining acceptability of sentences.
Abstract
The present study aims to investigate what are crucial factors that influence Subjecthood in Korean when the NPs with different GRs are in a different position (possible Subject position vs. non-Subject position), especially concerning two selected Subject properties – honorification and copying of plural morpheme. An experimental investigation using Magnitude Estimation (ME), composed of sentences representing three factors (agreement with Subject vs. non-Subject, word order, GRs of NP) in two Subjecthood diagnostics, was conducted with Korean native speakers. Overall results demonstrated the following: i) The sentences with Subject NP controller (i.e., when the Subject has [+hon] or [+pl] feature) got higher acceptability compared to non-Subject NP controllers; ii) Different GRs of NP had less than half of the strength compared to the factor related to Subject vs. non-Subject in determining acceptability of sentences; iii) Scrambling of the NP controller to a different position had little effect on the acceptability; iv) Among the 3 factors, agreement (i.e., whether Subject or non-Subject controls the relevant feature ([+hon] and [+pl]) played the most crucial role in determining acceptability of sentences.
