Backward control in Korean and Japanese.

Abstract

Monahan (2003) argues that Korean has ‘Backward Control ’ structures, offering an analysis in terms of Hornstein’s 1999 Copy Theory account of Control. Since we have argued that backward control is impossible, we offer an alternative account of the Korean data. We argue that Korean and Japanese fall under one of the possible accounts that we suggested in our discussion of Tsez, that is, Semantic Control plus scrambling. We show that Korean, unlike Tsez, has properties that allow certain overt quantified controllees to obtain the interpretation which we would expect from standard (forward) control with an overt quantified controller.
