Park, Jong Un. (2023). QUD, focus, and adjunct ellipsis. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(4), 153-179. The goal of this paper is to argue, building on Park (2022), that the deletion of an adjunct is restrictively allowed in Korean only when an elliptical clause is congruent with Questions Under Discussion (QUDs). However, since Parks analysis faces a couple of issues to be reconsidered, I elaborate his QUD-based approach, especially by incorporating Kobayashi et al.s (2023) claim that depending on the context, different types of focus, such as verum focus, contrastive focus, and negation of predicate focus, may play a role in evoking QUDs required for adjunct ellipsis licensing. Then, it is shown that the amended QUD approach can successfully explain not only the data of adjunct ellipsis previously dealt with by Park but also novel data inspired by Kobayashi et al. Finally, it is briefly discussed what the so-called verb-echo answers in Korean suggests to the proposed QUD approach. |
