Kim, Young-Wha. 2010. Delimiters Re-illuminated: -Yang (1993), n*P, and English Acquisition with Delimiters-. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 35-1, 1-28. This study aims to reintroduce the characteristics of Korean delimiters discussed in Yang (1972, 1993) and to expand the discussion in two ways. First, we suggest that the syntactic realization of delimiters is practiced through feature checking between the feature(s) under C, CP and that/those of n*P. Following Chomsky (2006), we assume that Merge of n*P is necessary when semantic or pragmatic factors call for it. The semantic/pragmatic features can be realized in the form of delimiter in Korean. Along with the structures comprising all the semantic or pragmatic features under n*P, this paper will suggest a refined structure of DP of Korean. The second aim of this study is to help to improve the pedagogy of the theoretical issues discussed in this paper by conducting experimental analyses. The outcome of the experiment provides evidence enough to support the hypotheses made about delimiters and feature checking in this paper. (Hallym University)
