통사-화용 접합면에서의 한국어 호격에 대한 소고

초록

This article begins with a brief review of previous seminal studies on the syntax-pragmatics interface. They maintain that discourse participants such as the speaker and addressee should be encoded in syntactic structure: they are implemented syntactically via Speech Act (SA) phrases. Specifically, the SA projection is located above the matrix CP, and it is unembeddable. In other words, it cannot appear in embedded complement or adjunct clauses. Furthermore, following Yim (2016) in which the addressee-honorific marker -yo in Korean is an exponent of the SA phrase that is responsible for the addressee, it offers a formal analysis of vocatives in Korean at the syntax-pragmatics interface. In particular, it proposes that vocatives are housed on the Spec position of the SA phrase for the addressee located above CP in matrix clauses only. From this, the fact follows straightforwardly that, like the discourse marker at stake, vocatives are unembeddable, that is, they can only occur in matrix clauses and never appear in embedded clauses.
