In this paper I discuss a more complicated case of 'It'-Extraposition in English in the Optimality Theory [1] by further modifying and extending the analysis done in Khym (2018) [2] in which only the 'relatively' simple cases of 'It'-Extraposition such as 'CP-Predicate' was dealt with. I show in this paper that the constraints and the constraint hierarchy developed to explain the 'relatively' simple cases of 'It'-Extraposition are no longer valid for the more complicated cases of 'It'-Extraposition in configuration of 'CP-V-CP'. In doing so, I also discuss two important theoretic possibilities and suggest a new view to look at the 'It'-Extraposition: first, the long-bothering question of which syntactic approach between P&P (Chomsky 1985) [3] and MP (Chomsky 1992) [4] should be based on in projecting the full surface forms of candidates may boil down to just a simple issue of an intrinsic property of the Gen(erator). Second, the so-called 'It'- Extraposition phenomenon may not actually be a derived construction by the optional application of Extraposition operation. Rather, it could be just a representational construction produced by the simple application of 'It'-insertion after the structure projection with 'that-clause' at the post-verbal position. This observation may lead to elimination of one of the promising candidates of '$It_i{\ldots}[_{CP}that{\sim}]_i$' out of the computation table in Khym [2], and eventually to excluding the long-named 'It'-Extraposition case from Extrsposition phenomena itself. The final constraints and the constraint hierarchy that are explored are as follows: ${\bullet}$ Constraints: $^*SSF$, AHSubj, Subj., Min-D ${\bullet}$ Constraint Hierarchy: SSF<<>>Subj.>> AHSubj.

This paper investigates the internal structure of finite small clauses (FSC). I will propose that a FSC is base-generated at Spec-CP and a null operator is involved to check the formal features of the embedded T and turn a sentence into a predicate.

This paper is primarily intended to provide a new insight on which the structural properties of As-Parenthetical constructions shown by Potts (2002) might be regarded as cross-linguistically common one. As a first attempt, it introduces the characteristics of Korean As-Parenthetical by carefully investigating them through the data, focusing on the similarities or differences between two languages with a constructional theoretical perspective. The paper here provides three properties of Korean as-clauses in the morphological and syntactic aspects. First, the morpheme 'as' in English as-clause would be realized as three different morphemes as a bound one. Korean as-clauses can be introduced by three different morphemes, '-tusi, -chelem, -taylo' and unlike that in English as-clauses, they behave as bound morphemes which do not stand alone. Even though they are attached into different morpho-syntactic stems, they do not make any meaning change only under this clause. Secondly, two syntactic types of as-clauses can also be found in Korean, similarly to those of English: CP-As type and Predicate-As type, depending on which types of gap they involve in. English has one more subtype of Predicate-As type (called inverted Predicate-As clause), while Korean does not show this subtype. Thirdly, the various mismatches attributed by the gap and the antecedent come from the constructional restrictions of as-clauses in Korean. In addition, the paper attempts to display various ambiguities from the as-clauses through disjoint references or negative sentences in As-Parenthetical constructions.

본 연구는 주어-동사 일치에 대한 3가지 유형의 통사적 분석을 제공한다. 주어-동사의 수일치는 주어와 서술어간의 연쇄를 체계적으로 설명하기 때문에 이는 핵-핵 일치 또는 계층적 구조에 작용하는 상방향과 하방향 자질침투라는 순수한 통사적 분석으로 제안되어야 한다. 주어-동사 일치의 오류는 선형적 근접성이나 최소간섭이 아닌 일치의 목표와 국소적 유인자인 명사 사이의 계층적 관계에 의해 영향을 받는다. 본 연구의 자료로 수식어로서의 전치사구 PP 또는 관계절 CP를 포함하는 복합 명사구를 분석하며 이때 복수자질 [+PL]이 강 자질로서 일치오류의 국소 유인자이다. 따라서 일치오류는 화자들이 수식어 전치사구의 복수 명사구 때문에 주절의 단수 주어를 복수로 잘못 분석하거나 복수 주어의 영향으로 수식어 관계절안의 단수 주어가 복수로 잘못 분석되어 관계절 안의 동사가 복수형으로 잘못된 일치 오류가 일어나는 경향이 있다. 즉, 주어-동사 일치는 구조가 형성되는 과정에 내재적으로 불일치하는 일은 없고 특정한 구성소 표현이 국소 유인자로 오인되어 단지 언어분석처리 중에 조작되어 나타난다.
