영문 초록

In this paper, I explore a uniform analysis of the NP-coordination construction, the comitative construction, and a particular type of comparative construction in Korean, which have usually been investigated separately and as a result, received different analyses in the literature. One common property that can be easily noticed is the fact that these constructions all involve juxtaposition of NPs where one of the NPs bears the special morpheme wa, while the other NP bears a case marker. I show further that these constructions manifest a parallelism in other important aspects as well, based on which I argue that they are related by means of movement from a shared underlying structure. I also show that the proposed analysis can correctly capture the interpretative properties of the constructions in question. Some of the important consequences of the current analysis include relaxation of the Theta Criterion and the fact that what has been traditionally considered to be NP-coordination does not involve a genuine instance of coordination.
