I argue that Linearization Preservation (LP) based on the cyclic linearization can be replaced by PIC, which means that there is no need appealing to LP to account for the apparent asymmetry observed in the Korean data. I claim that PIC can provide a correct account for the free scrambling, a well known characteristic of the Korean language. I show that either the subject or the object can scramble freely without violation of PIC, and claim that no asymmetry exists between the subject and the object scrambling under the assumption that the examples containing NQs (the so-called floating numeral quantifier constructions) in question can be analyzed in the same way as multiple subject or object constructions, falsifying the idea that a NQ forms a constituent with a subject or object DP preceding it.
