영문 초록

The aim of this article is to reveal how the double nominative construction, which has the properties of discourse oriented languages, coexists with other constructions which are typical of syntax oriented languages. We first suggest that the double nominative construction and the ECM construction share an aboutness constraint in their semantic description. The ECM construction further has to satisfy the definition of the individual level property. We also suggest that the source of the raising in the ECM construction is the sentential specifier which licenses the first nominative NP of the double nominative construction. On the basis of the constraint based feature logic in HPSG, we formalizes this procedure and show how the two constructions interact with each other.
