This book examines how word order variations in language can be
regulated by various factors in cyclic syntax. In particular, it
offers a valuable contribution to the current debate concerning the
effect of cyclic Spell-out on the (re-)ordering of elements in
scrambling. Heejeong Ko provides in-depth discussion of the
interaction of the syntax-phonology interface with operations at
the syntax proper, as well as examining how the semantic meaning of
a structure can be correlated with certain types of orderings in
cyclic edges of the syntax. The author's proposal accounts for a
wide range of scrambling data in East Asian languages such as
Korean and Japanese, with particular focus on the consequences of
cyclic linearization for (sub-)scrambling, types of quantifier
floating, variations in predicate fronting, and types of argument
structure and secondary predicates. The book will be of interest to
syntacticians from graduate level upwards, particularly those
interested in the syntax-phonology and syntax-semantics interfaces.
The range of novel data presented will make it a valuable resource
for linguists studying Korean, Japanese, and scrambling languages
in general.
