영문 초록

Korean has a so-called ‘Multiple Nominative Construction’ (MNC) where more than one subject appears in a clause. In this paper, we will try to analyze the MNC specific to Korean within the framework of LFG (Lexical Functional Grammar). First, we present the syntactic structures of MNC, where we adopt the mechanisms such as the grammatical function PREDLINK and the empty category ‘epsilon’ proposed in LFG literatures. Next, we discuss the constraints for semantic relations. We try to extend the rules and lexicon by adopting Qualia Structure of Generative Lexicon, to describe semantic relations between nouns. Lastly, we discuss the cases of the reverse-ordered MNC with respect to information-structural concepts such as topic and focus. Our analyses are implemented on XLE, the platform of LFG, which enables us to prove the validity of the linguistic analysis.
