Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to examine the domain and properties of reconstruction of long-distance scrambled phrases in Korean. We argue that Beck & Kim’s (1997) intervention effect can be extended to reconstruction cases, which corroborates the conclusion made by Bae (2020). The main evidence comes from the data showing that long-distance scrambled phrases (outside their base positions) can interact with the syntactic operations such as binding and also affect semantic interpretation of idioms. In particular, we show that the interpretive option for anaphors and idioms is determined by how far reconstruction can be implemented. The result further suggests that binding condition A is not a derivational condition in Korean (contra Belleti & Rizzi 1998).
期刊介绍:
LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS (ISSN:1606-822X; Online ISSN: 2309-5067) is an academic publication of the Institute of Linguistics at Academia Sinica. Established in 2000, it publishes research in general and theoretical linguistics on the languages of East Asia and the Pacific region, including Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, and the Austroasiatic and Altaic language families (Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages are not included). LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS publishes both a journal and a monograph series. LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS is a pure linguistics journal. We only publish articles on (descriptive and theoretical) linguistic studies but not articles on applied linguistics such as language teaching or language learning.
