영문 초록

In this paper I demonstrate that RD constructions in Korean can best be derived by the verb-initial single clause analysis, and that other existing approaches assuming the verb-final structure, the rightward movement analysis and the double clause analysis, all fail to deal with the RD constructions properly. Thus Korean is underlyingly SVO and ends up displaying SOV properties through necessary derivations. Some desirable consequences thereby obtain: the head parameter can be excluded from the computation, reducing computational burden; universal SVO word order hypothesis can be maintained; a more restrictive theory of phrase structures can be established; the copy theory of movement crucially counts.
