韓語特指準分裂結構的不對稱性

Copular Constructions and Asymmetries in the Specificational Pseudocleft Constructions in Korean

韓語中名詞kes出現於各種不同的句法結構，包括某些分裂結構。我們發現，韓語準分裂結構有「有生／無生」的不對稱性。本文提出，此不對稱性可由正確地詮釋特指準分裂結構的語意以及其信息結構獲得解釋。

The noun kes, occurring in many syntactic environments, can introduce the so-called pseudocleft constructions in Korean. This paper discusses the animacy asymmetry we find in the Korean pseudocleft constructions and suggests that the explanation for such asymmetry follows from the proper interpretation of specificational pseudocleft constructions as well as their information structure properties.
