Abstract

This paper deals with kulehkey replacement facts in Korean mit- type constructions, with a special focus on the seemingly remnant leaving replacement cases. It has been widely believed that no movement is possible out of the replacement site, but the relevant Korean construction seems to show otherwise. However, this paper claims that this apparent movement out of a replacement site does not involve real movement but can be explained in an alternative way. More precisely, it will be shown that the remnant phrase does not move to its surface position but is base-generated there and there is pro inside the replacement site. Ample sets of data supporting this view will be provided and the implications of this analysis will be discussed regarding the mit- type construction.
