배분 형태론과 결합현상 = Distributed Morphology and Merger Operation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper explores the issues concerning the morphology and syntax of inflections and critics. It addresses two related questions : Why English and French exhibit different properties with respect to verb raising. And What is responsible for the distinctions between two types of inflection in Korean which are traditionally referred to as declension and conjugation.
This paper, drawing on the spirit of Distributed Morphology advanced in Halle and Marantz(1993), lends a support to the view that there exist two types of Head-combining operation ; namely, Incorporation Cor Head-movement) and Merger. It proposes that the different scope of verb movement in English and French can be captured by the fact that verb stems in English are free morphemes while those in French are bound. This paper further claims that only bound morphemes can undergo Head-movement due to the Principle of Greed put forward in Chomsky's (1993) Minimalist Program.
This paper also suggests that the distinction between declension and conjugation in Korean is correlated with the morphological status of "bound/free-ness" among noun stems and verb stems. It is argued that the contrastive behaviour of 'verb stem+inflection' and 'noun stem+inflection' in Korean crucially hinges on two types of operation ; Head-movement and Merger.
It is further noted that the peculiar property of clitics in English(such as reduced auxiliaries-'ll,'ve and the possessive morpheme -'s) relies on the hypothesis that Merger operation can take place either prior to or after Morphological Structure that is located between S-structure and PF, hence two types of Merger.
