영문 초록

This paper shows that what Ross (1967) and Postal (1974) call right node raising (RNR) can be understood as midway conjunction (Park (2005)) or External Remerge (ER) (de Vries (2009)). More specifically, the right-edge element of the first conjunct clause is conjoined together with the one of the second conjunct clause by the aid of the coordinating conjunction through the process of ER to yield the RNRed element. In fact, via ER the former and the latter both end up being multiply dominated by relevant syntactic objects. We also show that parallelism as an inherent property of coordinate structure formed by ER plays a decisive role in linearizing multi-dominance structure to produce the correct word order string of the RNR construction.
