Sluicing in Korean: A construction-based approach

This paper aims to account for the general and idiosyncratic properties of the Korean sluicing construction. The main issues on this construction are how to generate its relevant structures and get the right reading(s) from them. Rejecting the previous analyses facing theoretical and/or empirical problems, we propose a descriptive analysis of sluicing employing a Korean sluicing construction rule and a semantic Linking principle of remnants and their correlates based on the Case and the Index value. The present analysis enables us to explain most of the properties of the Korean sluicing construction. (Kangwon National University)
