한국어에서의 논항 이동과 pro

The purpose of this paper is to show that when Noun Phrase (NP) moves, it may leave not only NP trace but also pro in Korean. In languages like English, Subject NP, which has no Case, in the non-finite clause moves into the SpecCP of the matrix sentence to license its Case, so that its trace has no Case and is treated as anaphor. However, in languages like Korean, Subject NP, which has Case, in the finite clause moves into the SpecCP of the matrix sentence. If its trace is treated as a normal NP trace, some questions arise immediately. Why is it that the trace occurs in the Case position unlike normal NP trace? Does the trace observe the Binding Theory A? In this paper, we prove that this trace is pro because pro can occur in the Case position and follow the Binding Condition B.: on the other hand, NP trace cannot appear in the Case position and violates the Binding Theory A. Besides, since this phenomenon is observed only in the pro-drop languages, this paper claims that Korean can be also regarded as a pro-drop language. And some remaining problems are suggested in the discussion we had.
