Floating Numeral Quantifiers with Scrambling = A Prosodic Account

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Although a number of challenges have been made to the distribution of FNQs in constructions of scrambling, many crucial questions are still unanswered. Giving special concerns to Miyagawa (1989), Ko (2007), and Miyagawa and Arikawa (2007), this paper fleshes out a new analysis termed as ‘Restructuring’, which plays a key role in understanding many questions remaining up to now. The process of ‘Restructuring’, motivated independently of syntactic operations, is important to reanalyze the whole set of data from an entirely novel point of view. It will be shown that various types of problems detected in the literature can best be explained by a conspiracy of the operations referring to the phonological as well as the syntactic properties.
