Metalinguistic negation: Evidence from Korean and beyond
The syntax of Korean reduced conditionals: Right edge and pronominalization
The goal of this paper is to provide an analysis of two important aspects of conditional clauses in Korean. The first goal is to reveal the structure of the conditional clause. In investigating reduced conditionals and regular copula clausal conditionals, we suggest the right-periphery of conditional clauses based on the Split CP hypothesis ( Rizzi 1997 ; Saito 2010 ). The second goal is to examine the distribution of the clausal pronoun kukes in…
Positively bitter and negatively sweet: Conventional implicatures and compatibility condition of emotive taste terms in Korean vs. English
The goal of this study is to propose a pragmatic analysis of what we call Emotive Taste Terms (ETTs) in Korean, compared to English. What makes Korean taste adjectives special is its multidimensional meaning: In descriptive dimension, (i) the literal meaning concerns the taste; or (ii) it can be extended toward the situation, yielding a figurative meaning. In expressive dimension, (iii) the choice of particular derivation form reflects the speake…
From inquisitive disjunction to nonveridical equilibrium: Modalized questions in Korean
The goal of the present study is to identify a novel paradigm of epistemic modal operator derived from disjunction . Our main data involves an inquisitive disjunction marker nka in Korean, the presence of which enhances a speaker’s epistemic uncertainty and forms a modalized question. We show how nka contributes the modal effects in question within a theory of nonveridicality. In particular, we propose that the prerequisite of nka are non-homogen…
The Mirrored Structure of Thesmophoriazusae: Hero, Plot, and Themes
While most Aristophanic plots follow a single hero through a single scheme, the dramatic focus of Thesmophoriazusae is inverted halfway through the play as Euripides and his kēdestēs exchange the roles of hero and victim. The ring composition of the plot also governs the play's thematic focus, which moves from the exploration of gender through genre to the exploration of genre through gender

Scalar marking without scalar meaning: Nonscalar, nonexhaustive even-marked NPIs in Greek and Korean
This article discusses in detail two cases of even -marked negative polarity items (NPIs) in Greek and Korean that are not scalar or exhaustive. This prima facie paradoxical finding suggests that EVEN-marking is not always an indicator of scalarity—and, at least in the case of the Korean and Greek NPIs discussed, even is grammaticalized as a nonscalar NPI marker. We propose that the nonscalar NPIs are antispecific indefinites with referential vag…
