Multiple Fragments Do Not Mean Multiple Clauses

초록

In this squib, we review two recent analyses of multiple fragmentanswers (MFA) in Korean. Ahn and Cho (2013) argue that MFAs arederived from multiple clauses, each fragment being derived from its own(sentential) source. On the other hand, Ahn (2012) suggests an extensionof Lasnik's (2007, 2013) analysis of English multiple sluicing to KoreanMFAs. Discussing their arguments in detail, we argue that these analysescannot be maintained. We show that Korean MFAs are best captured ifwe assume that MFAs are derived from a mono-clause via either ellipsisor pro/cleft, as argued by Park (2013).
