3 - The Finite Clause
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 December 2018
Summary
Chapter 3 explains how the situation description in the vP becomes a finite independent clause. Functional projections such as tense, modality, and speech act are discussed and analyzed. This chapter will illustrate the discourse sensitive nature of the clause structure in Korean: Categories such as evidentiality and speech act/force do not contribute to the truth conditions of the sentence but rather features pertaining to the use of the language and thus treated as instructions to update Common Ground.
