경험자 논항(experiencer argument) 인상 구문과 최소 연결 조건(MLC)

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the properties of raising constructions with an experiencer argument and to provide appropriate analysis for them. In this paper, we have proposed a novel analysis of Spanish raising constructions with an experiencer argument. Specifically, based on the analyses of experiencer pro proposed by Torrego(2002), we have proposed that the Spanish raising verb [v*-parecer] licences a null experiencer argument pro in its Specifier position, and that when the subject argument moves to the outer-Spec of v*P, it crosses the pro of Spec-v*P, resulting in a violation of the Minimal Link Condition(MLC). On the other hand, in order to explain the so-called ''experiencer paradox'', which appears in the English raising construction, we have argued that a multidominant structure can be applied to this construction(cf. Citko 2005, 2011; Wilder 1999, 2008; Gracanin-Yuksek 2007, 2012; Johnson 2009; de Vries 2009, 2012; You 2016, etc.).
