In this paper, I have presented some properties of FQs in Korean, the implication pointed by connectivity effects would seem to be : (i) there exist syntactic structure inside ellipsis sites, but it is unpronounced. (ii) Remnants in FQs in Korean are considered as a Contrastive Topic. In accordance with Takita et al. (2016), den Dikken (2008), and Ko (2011), I propose there exist a functional head H mediating the remnant (Contrastive Topic) and elided material in FQs in Korean that can salvage remnants from labeling failure at narrow syntax (NS). I also scrutinized to explore the nature of the interaction between narrow syntax (NS) and two interfaces with the goal of achieving an explanation of how elided FQ is realized. In Chomsky (2013, 2015), every syntactic object needs to be labeled for interpretation at the interfaces since those labels play certain roles in semantic and phonological computations. This paper aims to present the possibility that ellipsis should be licensed in narrow syntax. Furthermore, labels play a crucial role in ellipsis phenomena, specially in FQ in Korean.
