Against a Multiple Dominance Analysis of Right Node Sharing Constructions in Korean and Japanese

This paper explores a right node sharing construction in Korean and Japanese. In particular, I examine Wilder s (1999) multiple dominance analysis of a right node raising construction in English and Chung s (2004) multiple dominance analysis of a right node sharing construction in Korean. Against Chung s arguments for a multiple dominance analysis, I defend a deletion account. As a result, I show that trees represent both dominance and precedence, and that there are proximity effects in grammar (William 1990).
