An, Youngjae. (2020). Q-movement in Korean. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 28(1), 99-106. In this paper, I attempt to demonstrate that wh-question formation in Korean involves movement of a Q(uestion)-particle. Along the lines of Q-movement by Cable (2010) and Hagstrom (1998), I argue that the wh-question in Korean is derived by the movement of the Q-particle. This mechanism accounts not only for how the interpretation of the wh-word is achieved by the Q-particle but also for why the wh-word in Korean remains in situ. I argue further that the EPP on C is involved in successive cyclic Q-movement in Korean, which accounts for certain alleged island effects in Korean. |
