535 Assignment 12

Hagstrom, Korean ha, ko and negation

Due: Thurs, Feb. 26

(Sorry, this is an evil question:)

Draw a complete tree for example 22 in Hagstrom's paper, according to his analysis. Show all movements.

Assume that nominalizing morphemes head a phrasal projection nP that does not have a specifier position.

Remember that Hagstrom follows Yi in analysing the ko-marked clause as an adjunct, rather than a coordination; assume that it is adjoined to the main TP.

Do not attempt to include vP in your tree (unless you *really* want to); a regular VP with the subject base-generated in its specifier will do as shorthand for now. Remember that the subject has to move to Spec-TP.

Remember that to get the word order right, objects (including nominalized VPs)  have to move to some specifier position to the left of negation. Assume that this is ObjP, as I drew in my handout for Bobaljik, and that it immediately dominates Hagstrom's NegP.

Remember that ha and ko are realizing terminal nodes that are inserted postsyntactically, and do not themselves project any phrasal structure; indicate this by drawing them in bold or (if you're drawing by hand) in a different color pen.
