Do so anaphora and its Korean counterpart kuleh may be adjoined to VP or vP in the light verb construction (Chomsky 1995). Depictive predicates are secondary predicative adjuncts associated with a verbal projection. Depictive predicates have two varieties: object depictives (ODs) and subject depictives (SDs). Unlike ODs, SDs can be remnants within the context of do so anaphora: SDs are vP adjuncts and ODs are VP adjuncts (Kim 2011). TAs such as on Tuesday adjoin either inside or outside VP. However, the TAs must be adjoined to vP when discourse effects such as contrastiveness or intonation highlighting are given to TAs. Thus, the contrasting TAs are stranded in vP when do so anaphora undergoes VP-anaphorization. The supposed position of the ECMed nominal is the outer spec of vP. There are further paradigms which are explicable only on the assumption that an ECMed element in Korean must be in the upper clause. A sentential adverb adjoined to the matrix vP can be interposed between the ECMed element and the lower predicate, but not between a nominative subject and the lower VP. This testifies that the ECMed element occupies the matrix vP. Kuleh may replace the vP including the ECMed one. It may also replace the matrix non-ECMed VP.
