영문 초록

The aim of this article is to examine whether the basic idea and constraints of HPSG framework can coalesce with OT syntax to get over some theoretical and empirical problems that may be confronted by the monotonic constraint based HPSG. Here, I show that the HPSG based OT syntax, as an alternative to the default inheritance system in current HPSG research, well explains inversion, do-support and wh-fronting exhibited by interrogative constructions. In the proposal, those phenomena are explained by the ranked, violable constraints together with HPSG attribute and value system. By doing this, we can obtain the generalization that accounts for the typological characteristics of the language and the explanatory tool that explicitly shows how each universal constraint interacts.
