The Relativity of Marked Case in English Sentences

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper delves into the relative distribution of Case markedness depending on kinds of sentences. According to the subjects, KSs(Korean Speakers) and NSs(Native Speakers), it is shown that types of the sentences have an important impact on Case markedness: Firstly, simple sentences and embedded sentences present little difference between KSs and NSs. Secondly, coordinations note considerable markedness in that KSs are quite conscious of Case assignor and NSs, locality. Lastly, in case of cleft sentences and extra sentences having no Case assignor, whereas KSs reflect the syntactic position or mutually linked form of subject, NSs prefer Acc more remarkably than Nom. This paper proposes that Case markedness in English is relative in that two Cases, Nom and Acc can both be marked in different situations.
