Song, Jina. (2023). Adversative corrective coordination in Korean. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(3), 139-156. This study presents a comprehensive exploration of the syntax and semantics of corrective coordination in Korean. I introduce a new adversative coordinator in Korean, -la, which exclusively conveys a corrective reading. In terms of its syntactic structure, I argue that the corrective coordination in Korean operates at the sub-clause level rather than the clause level, drawing on various syntactic and semantic evidence. Additionally, this paper uncovers that the negation ani within the corrective coordination is consistent with the short-form negation in Korean. A potential challenge can emerge when considering the subclausal coordinate structure's semantic interpretation because negation typically takes a sentence, denoting a truth value, as its argument (i.e., ¬ p ˄ q). Building on Toosarvandanis (2010, 2013) analysis, the coordinator -la is posited as a meet operator, accommodating not just truth values but also functional constructs. This analysis shows how subclausal constituents can align with the conventions of truth-functional conjunction. In conclusion, this study offers new insights into the Korean adversative coordinator, -la, and its associated syntactic and semantic structures in Korean.
