영문 초록

English employs an extraposition process that places a heavy constituent to the sentential final position. This process can be applied not only to the subject but to the object as well. The paper first performs a corpus search and identifies canonical examples that we believe can represent the main patterns of English extraposition. The paper, after a brief review of the previous theoretical approaches, then tries to provide a constraint-based analysis that treats extraposition as a nonlocal dependency. The present analysis, placing an emphasis on the interaction among different grammatical components, seems to serve as a viable alternative to the previous analyses.
