The Korean negative stripping construction has two types: one with a negative copula and the other with a negative dummy ha- ‘do’ verb. This paper discusses grammatical properties of the Korean negative stripping construction and suggests that the two types are just possibly phonologically silent pronominal subject + [VERBAL +] predicate constructions and their grammatical properties follow from their clausal status with a negative specificational copula and a negative dummy ha- ‘do’ predicate. In particular, this paper shows that the non-ellipsis, anaphoric analysis can account for diverse intriguing grammatical properties of the Korean negative stripping construction, avoiding pitfalls that previous derivational analyses encounter.
