영문 초록

This paper aims to unify obligatory control constructions in Korean as A-movement. The so-called infinitival control and finite control are uniformly analyzed under A-movement. It is observed that finite control complements in Hebrew 3rd person subjunctives and Brazilian Portuguese are transparent with regard to A-movement since complement clauses are deficient in one of the two feature sets, [T±, phi±] (Boeckx, Hornstein and Nunes 2010). Likewise, it is claimed that not only infinitival but finite control complements in Korean are transparent to A-movement due to the deficiency of the feature sets. The unusual transparency of Korean raising complements with free alternation of tense markers is also claimed to be uniformly accounted for under A-movement based on the proposed feature combination. Consequently, this paper argues, following the movement theory of control, that (ⅰ) the control module disappears, simplifying the grammar, (ⅱ) the empty category in control complement is identified as a copy left after movement, and (ⅲ) the interpretation of the empty category is naturally obtained as a result of movement.
