어린아이 영어 모국어 화자의 보이지 않는 통사 구조 ‘슬루싱’ — 간섭 효과와 상대적 최소성
Invisible Syntactic Structure ‘Sluicing’ in Child English : Intervention Effects and Relativized Minimality
The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of subject/object asymmetry observed in the acquisition process of tense phrase ellipsis (TP-ellipsis), specifically in the structure known as “sluicing,” by English-speaking children. The analysis is conducted through the lenses of intervention effects and Relativized Minimality. Methodologically, this study employs Merchant’s (2001) PF-deletion analysis and the “What You See Is What You Get” approach proposed by Culicover and Jackendoff (2005) to examine the internal syntactic structure of sluicing. The research reviews Wood’s (2009) grammaticality judgment tests on sluicing sentences conducted with two groups of English-speaking children, and Mateu and Hyams’s (2019) experiments investigating children’s comprehension of sluicing and relative clause structures with 60 English-speaking children. This study aims to observe the developmental timeline in which children comprehend sluicing structures, to connect the subject/object asymmetry and intervention effects with the principles of Minimalist Grammar, particularly through Relativized Minimality, and to provide robust evidence for the existence of an invisible syntactic structure TP within the ellipsis site of sluicing.
