영문 초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine indefinite pronouns with APs in English, investigate some merits and demerits of the N-raising analysis, examine characteristics of adjectives, and find out an optimal structure of indefinite pronouns with APs. Kishimoto (2000) analyzes indefinite pronouns with APs as overt N-raising. In his analysis, when the indefinite pronoun cooccurs with an adjective, the noun is taken to raise around an underlyingly prenominal adjective as in (1a). In this case, he regards this derivation as parallel with the raising of "light" verbs around a preverbal adverb Above all, this analysis has a merit in that it may capture some characteristics that both common nouns and indefinite pronouns have in common. For instance, both common nouns and indefinite pronouns can be followed by multiple adjectives, even though they both should observe the heaviness condition. This base-generated analysis may account for the indefinite pronoun construction more naturally than the movement analysis does. Therefore, further studies should be focused on this approach.
