영문 초록

This paper investigates what we call subjectless cleft constructions in Korean, which have also been named as fragment or remnant constructions (cf. J.-S. Kim (1997); B.-S. Park (2004)). We note that there is a distinction between information- and contrast-focused remnants in terms of retention of a postposition attached to them. We attribute this distinction between them to the referential properties of overt and covert subject of the constructions at issue.
