SIGNED: Hyun Kyoung Jung 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Reflecting on my six years in Tucson and my career as a linguist has made me realize that I am such a lucky person. This dissertation would not have been completed without support and help from many people. First, I am sincerely grateful to my dissertation committee for their guidance through this journey. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my committee chair Heidi Harley for academic and personal encouragement throughout my graduate studies at the University of Arizona. Her passion for linguistics and teaching and her receptiveness to new ideas and positive energy have been constant sources of motivation and inspiration. Her works on argument structure have formed a fundamental basis of my research, not to mention her insights which are adopted throughout this work. I have greatly benefited from Andrew Carnie’s direction in forming my hypotheses and building argumentation. Simin Karimi’s expertise on complex predicates and comments on the drafts have improved this work greatly. Andrew and Simin pushed me to think hard about a lot of conceptual and empirical questions. I am indebted to my language consultants. Maria Leyva and Santos Levya have kindly shared their knowledge of the amazing Hiaki language and given me a Hiaki name, Acheka. I deeply appreciate their support and patience with my endless questions. I thank Bonet Kamwana and Ron Simango for their judgments on the lovely Chicheŵa data and enlightening discussions. Many thanks also go to Jaehoon Choi, Eunjeong Ahn, Hyunsuk Sung, Jae-Hyun Sung, Lan Kim, Jungmin Kang for their Korean judgments, and Colin Gorrie, Greg Key, Ryan Nelson, Jessamyn Schertz, Megan Stone, Alex Trueman for helpful discussions of the English data. Although I ended up not including the data, I have learned a lot about the applicatives and causatives in various languages through correspondences with the following linguists: Japanese from Hiromi Onishi, Tatsuya Isono, Yosuke Sato, Javanese and Bahasa Indonesia from Ika Nurhayani, Balinese from Wayan Arka, Marathi from Prashant Pardeshi, Scottish Gaelic from Muriel Fisher, French from Lionel Mathieu, and Italian from Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini. Special thanks to Jaehoon Choi, who has read my works and gave me critical feedback as well as provided me with emotional support throughout my years in Tucson. I also thank very much Alex Trueman, who is my Hiaki buddy and whose elicitation skills benefited me in collecting the crucial data in my dissertation. I am thankful to Greg Key. His work on Turkish causatives has inspired my analysis and I have learned a lot from his knowledge of syntax and Distributed Morphology. I thank my lovely colleagues and friends at the University of Arizona for their friendship and support (names alphabetized): Eunjeong Ahn, Lindsay Butler, Yan Chen, Chen-chun Er, Colin Gorrie, Hui-Yu Huang, Nick Kloehn, Lionel Mathieu, Dave Medeiros, Young-Gie Min, Ryan Nelson, Jaime Parchment, Jeffrey Punske, Sylvia Reed, Jessamyn Schertz, Kevin Schluter, Priscilla Shin, Tatyana Slobodchikoff, Megan Stone, Jae-Hyun Sung, Hyunsuk Sung, Deniz Tat, Brian Ten Eyck, Mercedes Tubino Blanco, Anthi Zafeiri, and others. I am sincerely thankful to the faculty at the University of Arizona who I took classes from and/or worked for: Diana Archangeli, Andy Barss, Andrew Carnie, Erwin Chan, Ken Forster, Amy Fountain, LouAnn Gerken, Mike Hammond, Heidi Harley, 5 Simin Karimi, Cecile McKee, Janet Nicol, Diane Ohala, Massimo Piattelli- Palmarini, Adam Ussishkin, and Natasha Warner. Many thanks to the former and current staff in the linguistics department, who enabled me to focus on my studies: Jennifer Columbus, Marian Wiseley, Shayna Walker, and Kimberley Young. I am very thankful to the Social & Behavioral Sciences Research Institute and the Graduate and Professional Student Council at the University of Arizona, and the American Philosophical Society for their financial support for conducting and presenting this research. I am grateful to my dear friends in Tucson for their emotional support: Minryung Song, Ryeojin Park, Soomin Jwa, and Young-Kyoon Suh. There are linguists who are outside of the University of Arizona I am indebted to. I sincerely thank my English linguistics professors at Pusan National University, Dong- hwan An, Sang-Do Lee, and Kiseong Park, who introduced me to the amazing field of linguistics. Parts of this dissertation were presented at WCCFL31, LSA87, and WAFL9. I would like to express my gratitude to the participants of the conferences, including but not limited to Hilda Koopman, Shigeru Miyagawa, Lan Kim, Kyumin Kim, Jinsun Choe, Yugyeong Park, Dongsik Lim, whose comments led me to think about important aspects of the constructions. I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my parents Young Jin Jung and Sung Jai Lee, and my little brother Yuchul Jung, who love and support me unconditionally. 6 DEDICATION To my parents, Young Jin Jung and Sung Jai Lee, and my little brother, Yuchul Jung. 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS……………………………………………………...…….10 ABSTRACT…………………………………………………………………….………..11 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………13 1.
