Abstract

Park, Hyun Jung. ¡°Phase Analysis of Movement in Korean Noun Phrase.¡± Studies in English Language & Literature 48.1 (2022): 195-211. In this paper, I examine the syntactic derivation of constituent—more precisely, numeral-classifier complex—within Korean DP of Pronoun-Noun Constructions (PNCs), coupled with numeral-classifier phrase. Following the definition of Den Dikken¡¯s (2006) phase as a small clause and RP (Relator Phrase) analysis between PNCs and numeral-classifier phrase of Park (2019), I propose a novel syntactic configuration of Korean DP in the perspective of CP/DP parallelism. More specifically, the current study assumes that there is a parallelism between clausal structure and nominal structure of PNCs combined with numeral-classifier phrase. Adopting one of the two major versions of Phase Impenetrability Condition (PIC), Weak PIC/PIC2 (Chomsky 2001), I show that the complement of phase head can undergo the movement out of phase and moreover, such an operation conforms to the locality condition by the minimal domain. Also, I suggest that the proposed syntactic derivation in this paper differs from the phase extension by Den Dikken (2006). The current discussion provides a new viewpoint and way regarding the derivation of a constituent in a Korean noun phrase structure. (Kangwon National University)
