영문 초록

A negative sensitive item (NSI) connectivity effect shown in specificational pseudoclefts refers to a phenomenon where the NSI pivot can be licensed by the negation marker in the presupposition CP, even though the pivot is not in the scope of the negation marker in narrow syntax. English specificational pseudoclefts exhibit this connectivity effect, while Korean ones do not. In this squib, I argue that this contrast is attributable to the difference in characteristics of NSIs between the two languages, and that the breakdown of the NSI connectivity effect in Korean is induced by the semantic/pragmatic requirements imposed on specificational pseudoclefts.
