Revision of Goto and Ishii(2022) and Its Implications

임익희 한국언어과학회 2023 언어과학 Vol.30 No.4

The purpose of this paper is to revise two points of Goto and Ishii’s (2022) approaches and offer implications from the revisions. Concretely, first, Goto and Ishii (ibid.) explain (un)grammaticality of various sentences based on ‘Determinacy at the input of MERGE’ and ‘Phase Impenetrability Condition(PIC)’. However, they taxonomize phases simply into CP, TP, vP, and RP without specifying criterion for phase. Due to this, (un)grammaticality of various sentences cannot be explained in a unified way. This paper explains the empirical facts using Chomsky's (2015) Phase Theory as an alternative to such a phase taxonomy. Second, Goto and Ishii (ibid.) propose that Determinacy is a binary condition that applies to Search that determines the input/output of MERGE. However, the condition at Search operation cannot capture ungrammaticality of Chinese-gapped double object construction(DOC) and dative construction(DC). This paper proposes ‘a ban on the consecutivity of an identical information feature’ and provides a coherent explanation for the ungrammaticality of the above constructions. If the ban condition is tenable, it can be implied that the linearization condition needs to be added in Form Sequence(FSQ) rule or externalization, at least as far as Chinese is concerned. Finally, a brief summary of this paper is provided in the conclusion.

A new perspective on the interpretation of Chinese sequence ‘Duration or Frequency Phrase+de+NP’

임익희,김종호 한국외국어대학교 언어연구소 2018 언어와 언어학 Vol.0 No.82

This paper is concerned with how sequence 'duration phrase/frequency phrase+de+NP/DP' is interpreted. In this regard, this paper makes three major claims: first, when a lasting property comes into play in a given sentence, the sequence 'number+ classifier+time/frequency+de+NP’ produces relative clauses, and second, Chinese relatives result from ‘head de base- generation plus noun movement’ mechanism, and third, when the sequence modifies VP, the duration phrase/frequency phrase raises to Spec, Chomsky-adjunction VP out of DP.

RNR구문에서 공유요소들의 재구성

임익희 한국중앙영어영문학회 2006 영어영문학연구 Vol.48 No.2

The reconstruction of shared elements in RNR constructions can make us find out the grammaticality of each conjunct clause. When we separate each conjunct clause, the grammaticality of the first conjunct clause doesn’t matter. However, the ungrammaticality of the first conjunct clause needs our much attention. For example, there are ‘that clause’ which cannot be taken as complement, negative polarity items without licenser, disagreement relation in the first conjunct clauses. It will be shown how these ungrammatical sentences are ommitted in RNR constructions. And when ‘distributor and number’ contained-shared elements, especially ‘same and different’ are reconstructed, the problems unexpected happen in the aspect of interpretation. To solve the above problems, mid-way conjunction analysis proposed by Park(2005) will be employed.

The derivation aspects of English and Korean fragments: non-repair strategy vs repair strategy

임익희 한국외국어대학교 언어연구소 2015 언어와 언어학 Vol.0 No.69

The main purpose of this paper is to examine how fragment answers of English and Korean are derived. So far, in connection with the derivation of English fragments, there have been 'repair-by- PF-deletion' analysis and scopal parallelism approach. However, these analyses have problems and so, as an alternative, I will adopt Barros, Elliott, and Thomas'(2014) three evasion strategies analysis. However, the strategies reveal their limit to the application for the derivation of Korean fragment answers. With respect to the derivation of Korean fragments, I will propose 'Percolation plus repair-by-PF-deletion' analysis.

Non-movement vs. Movement in Japanese Dative Case-marked Fragment

임익희 한국생성문법학회 2015 생성문법연구 Vol.25 No.1

Fragment answers to interrogative sentences are usually considered to take place due to the economy of language. Among fragment answers, this paper deals with Japanese dative case-marked fragment answer. With respect to the interpretation of Japanese dative case-marked fragment answer, Fukaya (2014) argues for LF analysis, but the Fukaya (2014)'s analysis has problem. The purpose of this paper is to point out the problem of Fukaya (2014)'s analysis and demonstrate that movement analysis offers a promising alternative.

Three Types of English Pseudogapping Constructions in Terms of Parallelism

임익희(Ick-Hee Ihm) 한국생성문법학회 2020 생성문법연구 Vol.30 No.3

Three types of English Pseudogapping Constructions in terms of Parallelism. Studies in Generative Grammar 30.3, 000-000. This paper aims to point out problems with the analyses which Park & Choi (2015a, b) proposed concerning grammaticality contrast phenomena in voice mismatch in English pseudogapping constructions and to present solutions to them. Several scholars have been researching the reasons for the phenomena, including Kehler’s (1995, 2000, 2002) theory of coherence relations, Jason Merchant’s (2008a, 2013) Voice Phrase mismatch, and Park & Choi’s (2015a, b) Case mismatch, etc. Park & Choi (ibid) are most convincing among all the works. Park & Choi (ibid), however, have empirical and conceptual shortcomings. I make the following three claims: (i) Park & Choi (ibid) argue that only vP undergoes ellipsis in parallel resemblance relations. However, VP undergoes ellipsis in the relations in which a floating quantifier all appears; (ii) Pseudogapping constructions in which cause-effect relations hold are non-parallel because they have a mismatch property between surface syntax and semantics; (iii) There are three types of parallelism in English pseudogapping construction; parallelism, a quasi non-parallelism, and a typical non-parallelism.

The Derivational Aspects of Korean Non-contrastive Heavy Adnominal Fragments: Two Strategies

임익희(Ick Hee Ihm) 한국생성문법학회 2016 생성문법연구 Vol.26 No.1

This paper focuses on Korean non-contrastive adnominal fragment answers targeting an adnominal, that is, Left Branch, inside a certain NP within antecedent sentence. With regard to this type of fragment answers, Barros, Elliott, and Thomas(2014) argue that the answer is derived from a predicational source among three non-island repair-strategies (short source, cleft source, and predicational source) as an alternative to island repair approach. However, I will argue that when an adnominal fragment answer corresponds to wh-LB within a relative clause, the answer is derived from an amelioration effect-via- processing effect deletion at PF, and when the answer corresponds to wh-LB within a complex island NP, it is derived from amelioration effect-via-island effect deletion at PF.

The Correlation Between Multimedia Production and Students’ Achievement

윤도현,임익희 대한영어영문학회 2011 영어영문학연구 Vol.37 No.3

Yun, Do-hyun & Ihm, Ick-hee. “The Correlation Between Multimedia Production and Students’ Achievement.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.3 (2011): 293-317. The purpose of this study is to investigate the assumption that multimedia education will make learning outcomes of listening and speaking better than traditional teacher-centered one. This study focuses on two groups of university students taking an English class as a cultural study. Participants’ performance toward the multimedia production is measured in two different instructional treatments: the treatment 1 in the experimental group with the multimedia production and the treatment 2 in the control group with the traditional class method without that. The results of hypotheses were analyzed by SPSS. They show that there exists the strong correlation between multimedia production and students’ learning achievement of listening and speaking. Therefore, educators need to develop the special instruction methods or textbooks combined with the multimedia techniques which are capable of enhancing students’ listening and speaking ability.
