This paper addresses the issue of two hypotheses on the timing or alignment of tonal targets colleague interaction hypothesis and segment anchoring hypothesis The first predicts that tonal targets may align with respect to one another The second assumes that tonal targets may have a constant temporal co-ordination with segmental strings After reviewing the two hypotheses ..
This paper is to study the correlation between the types of multiple wh-questions and Superiority Condition Depending on the typology of wh-movement to [Spec, CP], multiple wh-questions can be classified into three types (i) all wh-phrasal movement, (ii) only one wh-phrasal movement, and (iii) no wh-phrasal movement These three types of multiple wh-questions are controve..
This paper observes a variety of externalization processes across languages, and attempts to offer a generalization under a given subnumeration, Spell-Out of fewer materials is more economical than that of more materials in a phase This generalization can embrace Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou`s (2001) SSG--by Spell-Out, VP can contain no more than one argument with an ..
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the matches and mismatches of mood structures in translating English (source) texts into Korean (target) texts As for the correspondence of mood structures in the two languages, there are two positions The first one is that there are considerable mood mismatches in translation between the two languages, because there are differen..
The purpose of this paper is to analyze compensatory lengthening with the deletion of [ or o] and r within the framework of Moraic Phonology(Hayes, 1989) and CV Phonology(Clements & Keyser, 1983) Vowel lengthening with coda deletion occurs in the following case a VxVx b VnCVC c VV or VrV Accounting for compensatory lengthening with coda deletion in a, Hayes(198..
This paper shows a fairly tight relationship between the syntax and semantics of resultative adjectives with lexical verbs in English (eg, wipe the table clean) It is argued that the resultative adjective (RA) is part of the predicate it forms with the lexical verb (V) immediately and restrictively The resulting complex predicate is a grammatical and semantic unit that is ..
In this paper, I argue that the conjunction so, a cohesive tie, may be interpreted as an if-conditional structure which is the superstructure for the text, and that the conditional structure plays a crucial role in interpreting the Matthew 77-12 of the Bible I assume that the passage Matthew 77-8 is the main clauses and verse 12 is a kind of conditional clause It shows a typi..
The Western Austronesian language Chamorro, spoken in the Mariana Islands, has a basic word order VSO and shows an interesting behavior in unbounded dependency constructions (UDCs) When the clause has a gap, the verb of the clause exhibits special agreement morphology the verb can be nominalized or have a certain infix attached To explain UDC phenomena in Chamorro, Chun..
Previous studies do not agree with the exact nature of NRCs (nonrestrictive relative clause, eg The teacher has rich sons, who are doctors) on the syntactic and semantic perspective The goal of this articleis to illustrate that NRCs are modifiers syntactically, and that at the same time, in terms of semantics, they behave differently from the other normal restrictive modif..
The current study investigates syntactic priming effects across languages between Korean and English in Korean native speakers(L1) who speak English as a second language(L2) The target structures were transitive alternate structures (active vs passive) both in English and in Korean The experimental paradigm involved repetition of an auditory stimulus, followed by pict..
Though functional analyses of grammatical phenomena are appealing to those who believe that integrated analyses are mush explanatory power, it is true that they are immensely influenced from formal theories Also, because there are many different kinds of functional approaches we have tried to categorize them Differently from other linguists, I have categorized them into f..
