공범주 원리(ECP)와 감마표시에 대한 연구 = On ECP and Gamma Marking

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Definition of Empty Category Principle or ECP is the licensing condition that traces must be properly governed. Proper government is like the following :
A properly governs B iff A theta-governs B or A antecedent-governs B.
A theta-governs 8 iff A governs B and A theta-marks B.
A antecedent-governs B iff A governs B and A is co-indexed with B.

Definition of gamma marking : at S-structure we check argument traces for proper government, and thus those that respect the ECP are marked (+γ). those that violate the ECP are ( -γ). At LF we re-check all variables for the ECP.
Those variables that are the reflexes of S-structure argument traces will already have a gamma-mark. An element which is (+γ) at S-structure will also be (+γ) at LF Gamma-marking at LF will concern two types of variables only : (i) variables which are reflexes of S-structure adjunct traces : (ii) variables of LF applications of move-α.
Lasnik and Saito(1984) propose that the ECP must be satisfied at LF. This proposal comes down to a two-step procedure in the application of the ECP : (i) gamma-marking, (ii) checking the representation of a sentence at LF.
In addition Lasnik and Saito also discuss the role of that. They propose that at LF that is irrelevant because it does not contribute to the semantics of the sentence and may be deleted without altering the interpretation of the sentence. But when that is present in the surface string of the sentence, it must be present at PF and hence must be present at S-structure.
In discussing the following sentence.
Why do you think [???? ti' that [??p he left early ti,]]?
adjunct traces are not gamma-marked at S-structure, but rather at LF. The trace ti, which is in the base position cannot be marked [+γ] because that intervenes between ti, and ti': which is in the Spec position of [Spec, CP] as an intermediate trace. According to the suggetion of Lasnik and Saito, the complementizer that may be deleted. This means that the trace of why satisfies the ECP as desired.
Since the intermediate trace is not in an argument position, we expect it to behave like an adjust trace. The intermediate trace, which is a non-argument trace, could be gamma-marked at LF. In the LF representation (10a) in (3.2.4) the intermediate trace is deleted, and thus ro problem arises.
Through the sentences that OR only moves a quantifier to IP, the sentences of quantifiers' adjunction to VP, the sentences that wh-raising moves a wh-element to adjoin to and already moved wh-element, I discussed ECP and gamma marking and realized that all the examples are very usefull to study a phenomenon of ligustics.
