Scrambling from Head-internal Relative Clauses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, I have discussed scrambling from kes constructions. In terms of scrambling, kes constructions are considerably freer than other types of complex noun phrases such as the HeRC and the free nominal CNP, which are a strong island for scrambling. However, this does not entail that scrambling from kes constructions is always acceptable. That is, kes constructions show some island effects on scrambling. For example, adjuncts cannot be scrambled from both the HiRC and the NCC constructions. This implies that kes constructions are always an island for scrambling of adjuncts. Also, the HiRC differs from the NCC; namely, scrambling from the HiRC construction is more restrictive than the one from the NCC construction. In particular, an element can be scrambled out of the HiRC construction if and only if it is the internal head of the relative clause. Otherwise, the HiRC is an island for scrambling. In contrast, the NCC construction is free from such island condition on the semantic properties of the scrambled element. In conclusion, in terms of scrambling, the two types of kes constructions are distinguished from each other. In other words, scrambling is a useful syntactic tool to divide kes constructions into two types: HiRC vs. NCC.
