Scrambling in Korean Parasitic Gap Constructions and its Cross-linguistic Implications

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Parasitic gap constructions have been observed to fall into two subtypes across languages: adjunct clause type and subject clause type. Previous research on Korean parasitic gaps has either assumed that both subtypes exist in Korean as in English, or analyzed the movement properties of scrambling as in Japanese. This paper is about the argument that the previous studies have not considered the specific properties of the clausal boundaries and scrambling patterns in Korean. In this paper, the distinct properties of adjunct clauses and subject clauses in Korean were examined to see how their differences structurally affect the pattern of scrambling. I propose that the subject clause type of the parasitic gap construction exists in Korean, but what has been analyzed as the adjunct clause in the literature should be analyzed as containing a null pronoun. This claim is empirically supported by comparing the properties of a parasitic gap with those of a null pronoun. On the basis of the observed pattern in Korean parasitic gap constructions, I discuss its cross-linguistic implications on the parasitic gap hierarchy proposed by Culicover (2017).
