The literature in Korean linguistics commonly addresses contrast as a significant aspect of an expressed subject, but the research can be further developed with empirical data analysis and re-definition of the notion of contrast. The present study, analysing TV drama scripts, claims how contrast may be differently identified in relation to the recognition of contrastive candidates in discourse. I find that contrast in the data is in various types and that overt subject NPs are used in marking contrast either in a single utterance or over several utterances as the discourse develops. By providing an extended analysis of overt subject NPs as a contrast marker, this study seeks to broaden the understanding of subject expression in Korean discourse.","PeriodicalId":43095,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42018261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The few-to-many mappings between /s/ and /∫/ in English and /s, s, ɕ/ in Mandarin Chinese will be studied based on the corpus of 493 English loanwords taken from Oxford Advanced Learner’s English - Chinese Dictionary (7th edition, 2009), Xiandai Hanyu Cidian (Modern Chinese Dictionary 6th edition, 2009) and Google searches (2013). The results of a corpus study demonstrate three key findings. First, the alveolar fricative in English is mapped to the corresponding loan sound in Mandarin Chinese, depending on the following vowel to conform to native phonotactics. Second, the adaptation of the palato-alveolar fricative is mainly determined by its internal acoustic cues. Third, it is noted that the stress of the s-initial syllable exerts influence on how /s/ in a cluster (/s/ followed by another consonant) is mapped to a loan sound in Mandarin Chinese. These findings suggest that loan adaptation makes a crucial reference to featural co-occurrence constraints, in that a consonant of interest can be mapped to different loan sounds due to native phonotactics. Notably, they also indicate that suprasegmental information comes into play when vocalic information is not available next to a consonant of interest. The roles of external and suprasegmental cues in the adaptation of coronal fricatives of English into Mandarin Chinese argue for the perceptual view (Silverman 1992) as opposed to the phonological view (Lacharite and Paradis 2005) on loanword adaptation.

A-movement: Its successive cyclicity revisited. Linguistic Research 37(3): 439-475. This paper reconsiders the successive cyclicity of A-movement, which has been controversial in the literature. I argue that contrary to what has been argued, A-movement can be both successive cyclic and non-successive cyclic, showing that this proposal follows as one consequence of simplest Merge, which applies freely. I claim that whether A-movement proceeds successive cyclically or not depends on how Merge applies to C and T (as well as to v and R) in the derivation. I show that the discussion in the paper is cross-linguistically endorsed. It is also shown that the proposal has favorable implications for clausal construction, the labelability of T and wager-class sentences. The present paper is one illustration of Merge playing a key role in syntactic derivation, supporting the hypothesis that the operation is the core of the Faculty of Language.

{"title":"From anti-specificity to anti-honorification: Conventional implicature of disjunction inka in Korean","authors":"Kang, Arum, Suwon Yoon","doi":"10.17250/KHISLI.37.3.202012.006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17250/KHISLI.37.3.202012.006","url":null,"abstract":"Kang, Arum and Suwon Yoon. 2020. From anti-specificity to anti-honorification: Conventional implicature of disjunction inka in Korean. Linguistic Research 37(3): 531-580. The goal of this paper is to investigate the pragmatic meaning of the disjunction-driven anti-specificity marker inka associated with rigid designators such as proper nouns (e.g., John-inka) in Korean. Its attachability to a specific referent is unexpected in the previous accounts of inka (Choi 2011; Kang 2015, 2017, a.o.), assuming the felicity condition that the domain of referentially vague items like ‘wh-phrase’-inka should not be a singleton set with a fixed value. With a proper name, however, the referential vagueness presupposition cannot be satisfied. We argue that this particular use of inka is pragmatically accommodated by the anti-honorific connotational nuance, which is independent of the at-issue content. In particular, we propose that the derogatory sense triggered by inka is Conventional Implicature (à la Potts 2005), expressing a speaker’s negative attitude toward the target. We furthermore examine its co-occurrence patterns with other typical expressives and show how the dynamic paradigm of multiple expressives (the anti-honorific inka and others) can be predicted by the compatibility condition (Yoon 2015). Regarding the relationship between the two types, anti-specific vs. anti-honorific inka, we show that whereas the anti-specific inka contributes the semantic content of referential vagueness, the anti-honorific inka has only the pragmatic contribution of mitigation as a reflex of grammaticalization of the attitude holder’s subjective perspective. Theoretical implications of the current study thus include: (i) the conceptual connection from anti-specificity to anti-honorification is established; (ii) the identification of another case of expressive element in language lends further support to the notion of multidimensionality in meaning; and (iii) the close examination of compatibility condition reveals the systematicity of expressives as part of our grammar.

Case-mismatches in Korean left-node-raising: An experimental study. Linguistic Research 37(3): 499-529. The goal of this article is to investigate Case-mismatches in Korean Left-Node-Raising (LNR) via the utility of experimental syntax techniques. To achieve this goal, we use the 2 × 2 factorial design of two Case-mismatch types (accusative vs. dative Case) of Korean LNR with respect to the locus of Case-licensing/mismatches (the first vs. second conjunct). The result of the experiment suggests that the first conjunct Case-licensing of the fronted NP in LNR is crucial across Case types, indicating that symmetric approaches (cf. Nakao’s (2009, 2010) across-the-board (ATB) Scrambling and Chung’s (2010) Multidominance) to LNR is not the right avenue to pursue. It also suggests that there is a distinction between structural Case-licensing and inherent Case-licensing in LNR (cf. Chomsky 1986, 1995; Bošković 2008). We review three syntactic analyses of Case-mismatch effects in LNR (ATB Scrambling, Multidominance, and Scrambling + pro) and defend the Scrambling + pro analysis.
