초록/요약
Chung, Taegoo. 2004. Adverbs and Middles in English. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 29-4, 489-505. One of the mysteries of English middles is that the construction should be 'adorned' by an adverbial or some other modification like a modal, negation, or focus. The problem is that the modifications do not seem to share any common property. To explore the modification requirement for middles, this paper examines some previous syntactic and semantic analyses (Hoeskstra & Roberts 1993, Roberts 1987, Condoravdi 1989). Based on Steinbach (2002), it suggests that a pragmatic approach is a comprehensive and systematic account for the modifications in English middles.(Korea University)
