Case Stacking in Korean: Argument Structure or Information Structure?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Chapter 22 focuses on a unique phenomenon in the Korean case system – case alternations and stacking – as a case study to illustrate two opposing views of case in Korean: the structural case view vs. information structure analyses. A more fine-grained information structure-based account of case stacking is proposed, arguing that the phenomenon implicates focus embedded in the topic phrase.
