영문 초록

Korean has a so-called ‘Case-stacking’ phenomenon, which is apparently in conflict with some of the principles assumed in Principles and Parameters theory and recent minimalist program, e.g., Case Filter, Chain Condition and Last Resort. This paper briefly examines some of the previous analyses which amount to admitting the Korean Case stacking as exceptional to those principles or postulating the dual or triple functions of Case particles as structural Case and semantic/discourse particles. On the contrary, this paper tries to account for the Case stacking phenomenon with the Case-related principles kept intact. In particular, I propose the possibility of introducing an uninterpretable feature in the process of derivation, ‘activating an inactive element’ in the computation, while it keeps in accord with conditions/principles, in particular, Inclusiveness Condition, postulated in the minimalist program.
