VP-Cordination and the CSC

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Kim, Byong-Kwon. 2006. VP-Cordination and the CSC. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 6-4, 731-749. This paper presents a new syntactic account for a group of apparent exceptions to Ross' (1967) Coordinate Structure Constraint (CSC), which bans extraction from a single conjunct in coordinate structure. When Ross discovered the CSC, he also observed the exceptional cases, where extraction is systematically well-formed even if it is only from a single conjunct. An important observation, however, is that the CSC violations are allowed only in VP-coordination. In this paper I propose that the VP-coordination in the traditional sense is not a maximal category coordination, assuming the Split VP hypothesis where the subject appears inside VP (Larson 1988, Chomsky 1993 and later work). Given that only a phrasal category forms a blocking boundary for extraction, the apparently exceptional data are predicted to be well-formed. The data analysis is given by extending the framework of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1993 and later work).
