Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate how sentences consisting of the polarity answer particle (PAP), ung 'yes' or ani 'no', in Korean sequentially followed by a fragmentary XP remnant (alias UAX) are considered as one type of a right dislocation (RD) construction. We may misunderstand PAP as just a particle but it is, in fact, a remnant derived through the covert TP ellipsis. We are going to examine four types of UAX-RDs and the parallelism between UAXRDs and canonical RDs. Both of them show the similar pattern related to the island effect, the full host-clause requirement, voice and verbal morphology matching, and specificational coordination.
