This paper examines English passive construction. It is argued that purely syntactic approaches should fail the correct analysis of passive sentences. In order to analyze the passive sentences correctly, we must consider various discourse-pragmatic factors. That is, the grammaticality of the passive sentences depends on discourse-pragmatic factors such as contextual factors, transitivity, thematicity. Therefore, we conclude that the reason a speaker uses the passive sentence is that he intends to make an NP(or object) the theme in discourse. < Seonam University >

In this paper, I aims to show the need of a semantico-pragmatic analysis of English Dative Constructions. I introduce the semantic analysis of the iconicity principle and the pragmatic analysis of the given-new information strategy for the claim. I propose that we use the internal dative constructions when the agent and the recipient are conceptually closer and when the speaker consider what happened to the indirect object as more important than what happened to the direct object, or the speaker’s attention focuses on the indirect object of new information. And we use the external dative constructions when the agent and the recipient are conceptually more distant and the speaker’s attention is to direct object of new information. On the basis of our analysis, it is demonstrated by empirical data that the principle of iconicity and the discourse phenomenon of given-new information provide a satisfactory account of English dative constructions. Therefore, I conclude that English dative constructions do not show free variation but it is determined whether they are internal dative constructions or external dative constructions according to the conceptual distance and the information status of objects. < Seonam University >

This paper examines the asymmetry of NP-movement and WH-movement. In the double object construction, the indirect object is subject to NP-movement and the direct object is not subject to NP-movement. However, the direct object is subject to WH-movement and the indirect object is not subject to WH-movement. The formal analysis does not provide satisfactory account of the asymmetry. Therefore, I propose the functional analysis in order to explain the asymmetry more properly. For the functional analysis, I introduce the functional notion such as topic and focus. The direct object is not passivized by NP-movement, because the indirect object is more topical than the direct object. On the other hand, the indirect object is not moved by WH-movement, because the indirect object is not focused on. Therefore, the grammaticality of the constructions which undergo NP-movement and WH-movement depends on functional aspects such as topic and focus. (Shingyeong University)

The purpose of this paper is to present a proper analysis on the syntactic structure of the English dative constructions. English dative constructions contain two objects, as in (ia, b). (i) a. John gave a book to Mary. b. John gave Mary a book. The construction in (ib) contains a direct object -a book- and an indirect object -Mary-. In syntactic theory, this construction raises two major problems. The first problem involves Case theory and the assumption that adjacency is required between an object and the verb that case-marks it. The second problem concerns the exact syntactic position of both objects. Until now, within the binary-branching framework, two major approaches to English dative constructions have emerged. The first approach treats dative constructions as a special case of small clause constructions. Proposals of this type include Chomsky1981, Stowell1981, Kayne1984, Aoun & Li1989, and Johnson1991. Secondly, a number of researchers have proposed analysis in which the verb combines with an NP or PP to form a "complex predicate", which takes another VP-internal object as its "inner subject." Recent proposals of this kind include Larson 1988 and Bowers1993. However, the small clause theory has had great difficulty in finding a plausible justification for the case of a direct object and the exact syntactic position of both objects. Also, the complex predicate theory cannot account for the surface position of the direct object between the parts of the complex predicate. Thus, we have argued that English dative constructions can be explained by the semantic and pragmatic analysis than by the syntactic analysis. That is, we claim that the two objects of the double object construction can be distinguished as the target (indirect object) and the patient (direct object), considering the meaning and function of verbs.

Language is used among humans by means of exchanging information and communications about some situations. Every situation is characterized by explicating its type and its participants. Based on this fact, this paper examines Sentence Patterns of English. Even though there may be an infinite number of sentences in English, but there are only very limited number of sentence patterns in English. We can identify 7 sentence patterns of English, and based upon the data and observation, we take only obligatory elements into account in analyzing sentence patterns, disregarding optional elements. Next we point out the problems of classification of traditional sentence patterns. It is argued that the meaning of the verb determines the sentence patterns of English, and many different kinds of constructions in English (such as small clause as object, Have sentence, With sentence, participle construction, resultative sentence) can be explained in terms of the concept of Small Clause.
