통사-화용-운율 접합면에서의 한국어 문중 ‘-요’ 첨가에 대한 시론(試論)

Abstract

This article has two main aims: One is to review some previous pioneering studies on the syntax-pragmatics interface. It starts with a review of Ross’s (1970) seminal work of the “performative” analysis and its recent revival at the syntax-pragmatics interface. The other purpose is to offer a challenging proposal of sentence-medial attachment of discourse marker –yo in Korean at the syntax-pragmatics-prosody interface. Based on the view that syntactically, sentence-final –yo is an exponent of the Speech Act Phrase for the addressee located above the matrix/highest CP (Yim 2013), and on the fact that prosodically, sentence-medial –yo forms an intonational phrase (Yim and Dobashi 2016), the article argues that sentence-medial –yo also is a spell-out of intra-clausal Speech Act Phrase.
