The paper applies three of its theories of meaning to sentence types. One theory is that a linguistic expression is polysemous, having more than one function. On this basis, the paper argues that a sentence type has a wide range of functions that gather around a central function. Another theory is that the meaning of a linguistic expression is best understood in terms of the domain to which it belongs. On this basis, the paper argues that sentence types form sets in which they highlight not only similarity but also difference. A further theory is that the use of a linguistic expression is governed by the particular construal imposed by the speaker on its content. On this basis, the paper argues that the use of a sentence type results from the particular construal the speaker chooses to describe a situation. The aim of the paper is to present a new conception of sentence types, using the tools of Cognitive Grammar. A sentence type has been found to be polysemous in nature, associated with pragmatic functions, and the result of construal imposed on its content.

Exclusive focus particles and their syntax & scope-taking in English, Vietnamese, and Korean. Linguistics Research 37(1), 1-28. This paper concentrates on the syntax and scope-taking of the exclusive focus particles in English, Vietnamese, and Korean. We first note that unlike in English, in Vietnamese the focus particle ‘chỉ’ cannot occur on VP-internal elements. Building on this dichotomy between the two languages, we develop and endorse a movement analysis of focus particles. Specifically, we argue that Vietnamese ‘chỉ’ and English ‘only’ at VP-peripheral position are moved overtly from VP-internal position to the Spec of the null Sigma head, thereby serving as a scope marker at its landing site. When at pre-subject position, however, they are not granted a licensing Sigma head in the upper TP domain, thus embracing the in-situ strategy for scope-taking. Meanwhile, unlike its Vietnamese counterpart, English ‘only’ overtly staying in VP-internal position undergoes covert movement to take propositional scope. Now in a parallel fashion to English ‘only’ at VP-internal position, the Korean focus particle ‘-man’ unmarkedly undergoes not overt but covert movement to the Spec of the null Sigma head, which also in turn counts as a scope marker. At the same time, it can markedly take the overt movement strategy, landing at the right periphery of VP.

To evaluate the effect of explicit instruction on writing improvement, a writing rubric was used, which measured the five areas of writing development such as ‘Purpose’, ‘Organization’, ‘Elaboration’, ‘Voice’, and ‘Grammar. L2 writing proficiency was used as a unit of analysis to evaluate writing development. Specifically, the students in two proficiency groups were required to perform the set of genre-writing tasks, Narrative and Argumentative essays, under pre-test and post-test conditions. The results showed that explicit instruction under the process-genre approach helped to improve students’ writing skills, but the relative effects differed according to L2 writing proficiency. More specifically, the more proficiency group showed the improvement in the four areas of the rubric measures except for ‘Grammar.’ On the other hand, the less proficiency group experienced the improvement only in two rubric measures, or ‘Organization’ and ‘Purpose.’ This indicates the important role of L2 writing proficiency in incorporating a process-genre approach into traditional writing classrooms. This paper argues that L2 proficiency should be considered an essential part of teaching practices under the process-genre approach to writing.

A processing-based analysis on the observation of isomorphism. Linguistic Research 37(3): 581-616. Since Musolino’s (1998) influential work, studies on children’s acquisition of scope interpretation have investigated children’s grammatical knowledge and processing mechanisms that derive the difference between children and adults in their interpretation of scopally ambiguous sentences. In the current work, we propose a processing-based account for the fundamental question of why children do not get some interpretations among alternative interpretations. Being inspired by the argument intervention in the acquisition of A-movement, proposed by Orfitelli (2012), we suggest that children’s parsing mechanism has difficulties in correctly filling the gap (i.e. the base position of the displaced element) with a scope bearing element that undergoes movement if there is another scope bearing element between the filler-gap dependency. We discuss how the current proposal can account for many observations reported in previous works. Furthermore, to show that such an argument intervention effect in the domain of scope acquisition is a matter of configuration, we conducted an experiment on Korean. Korean is a language where an object undergoes movement over negation, which is the argument intervention configuration. We found that Korean-speaking children show the argument intervention effect in learning scope interpretation. This result supports the idea that children’s interpretation of scopally ambiguous sentences is configurationally determined and the immature parser is susceptible to the argument intervention effect.

Drawing upon contemporary corpus data in Korean, this paper argues that the LP/RP position does influence the function, yet it is not uniquely correlated with subjectification/ intersubjectification. It further argues that prosodic features indeed play a crucial role in determining DM functions, yet such prosodic features are not unique in DMs only but are in consonance with the patterns in general language use. In addition to these two determinants, there are other factors such as the semantics of source constructions, which serves as the bases of pragmatic inferences in the discursive and interactional contexts. Since pragmatic inferences are largely based on conceptual metonymy, DM functions form a conceptual network by virtue of their relatedness.","PeriodicalId":43095,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"289-325"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67456185","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}

Keenan and Comrie’s (1977) judgment that Korean is a language that uses the pronoun-retention strategy has had an enduring impact on later studies. However, it is highly doubtful that the pronoun-retention strategy is used in everyday situations, since in most cases an RC with a resumptive pronoun (RP) sounds unnatural in Korean. This observation suggests that there may be an alternative way to convey the function of an RC formed on a genitive NP (genitive RC). This suggestion should be tested with naturally occurring data. In this paper, therefore, genitive RCs with an RP (GRP) are investigated in the contemporary Korean corpus to discover to what extent they are in use. Simultaneously, a Korean-English parallel corpus and data from the Bible are examined to observe how English genitive RCs are expressed in their Korean counterparts. The findings show that GRPs are rarely used in Korean. Rather, Korean tends to paraphrase the genitive RC into a non-RC or a non-genitive RC to transfer the meaning of a genitive RC.","PeriodicalId":43095,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"217-266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67455893","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}
