An Experimental Study of Subject Properties in Korean Multiple Subject Constructions (MSCs)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yoon (2008, 2009) claimed that there are two distinct Subjects in Multiple Subject Constructions (MSCs) in Korean. The crux of his argument hangs on reinterpreting the traditionally proposed subject diagnostics as distinguishing between the Grammatical Subject (GS) and the Major Subject (MS) in MSCs. The claimed diagnostics for GS and MS were examined experimentally in MSCs and corresponding Single Subject Constructions (SSCs). We found that: (i) MS diagnostics and GS diagnostics were differentiated even in SSCs and (ii) there was no statistically significant difference between MS and GS diagnostics in MSCs. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Two Types of Multiple Subject Constructions (MSCs) in Korean
Although Multiple Subject Constructions in Korean have received significant attention in theoretical literature, few experimental investigations of various syntactic and semantic properties of these constructions have been conducted. In this study, we administered a Magnitude Estimation (ME) experiment in order to compare the acceptability of Multiple Subject and related Single Subject Construc...
متن کاملTreating Multiple-Subject Constructions in a Constraint-Based MT-System
In Korean and Japanese some sentences are to be found which contain more than one nominative-NP. Such constructions are called ‘multiple-subject constructions’ or ‘double-subject constructions’. They do not only raise a question about their syntactic and semantic nature but also cause such problems as structural changes in MT. They must be considered in designing an MT-System between two typolo...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that may lead to disability of the patient. Current MS treatment regimens are still insufficient and research is conducted for developing more effective therapies capable of targeting neurodegeneration, inflammation, and demyelination. Recent results of experimental and clinical studies in ...

Non-nominative Subject Constructions (NNSCs, hereafter) in Korean have been investigated from a variety of perspectives (Gerdts & Youn 1988, 1999; Youn 1990, 1998; Y-J Kim 1990; KS Hong 1991; Yoon 1996, inter alia). Not surprisingly, the constructions exhibit a number of properties that are found across a wide spectrum of languages that have been claimed to possess NNSCs. In particular, most pr...

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been recognized as a common neurodegenerative disease that occurs after an Auto reactive T cells against myelin antigens. Demyelination and inflammation are the main features of this disease. The anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective roles of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been considered as a suitable tre...
