Especially at the time of finishing the dissertation, I cannot avoid the feeling of privilege to have had such a great advisor. Needless to say, the desire of exploring Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) has arisen from frequent interactions with him. I am very grateful to him for having allowed me to participate in the NSF project (studies in constituent ordering in HPSG) as an RA. Many basic ideas of this dissertation have been inspired from group discussion on the project. My thanks also extend to other dissertation committee members, Peter Culicover, Craige Roberts, and Robert Levine for their helpful and insightful comments. Peter Culicover guided me to broaden my views and to consider the same phenomena from different angles, especially from the GB point of view. Without him, I might have missed incorporating many important previous researches into my dissertation. Craige Roberts, comments was very helpful, especially for the organization of the dissertation and for filling up some logical gaps. Without her, this dissertation might have been just a iii collection of separate pieces of papers. I am also thankful to Robert Levine for his comments. I also appreciate Robert Kasper, Adreas Kathol and Eun Jung Yoo, who were the members of the NSF project discussion group, for their comments and discussion, especially on the earlier version of chapters 4 and 5. Their comments made me reconsider the earlier analyses which now I believe was too complicated. I also thank Mineharu Nakayama in the East Asian department for having provided me with relevant Japanese literature and references. His comments helped me to escape from falsely overgeneralizing some of my claims into Japanese data. My thanks also go to Korean colleagues in our department — Gwang Yoon Go, Hyunseok Kang, Woo Soon Kang, Heyri Kim, No Ju Kim, Ki-Suk Lee, Eun Jung Yoo and Jae Hak Yoon - for their generosity on time whenever I bothered them with Korean data. Discussion with them often helped me to clarify vague ideas. I also appreciate the teachers back in Korea - my former advisor Prof. Byung Soo Park, Prof. Yong II Kong, and Prof. Sang Cheol Ahn — for their support and encouragement. As for outside of linguistic societ)-, I express my deepest thanks to the ones who are most important in my life, my wife Kyung Hee and my son Wook. I thank them for their patient waiting, understanding, and helps in every aspect. I could not imagine how my graduate study could be done without them. I wish I could put their names on my diploma instead of mine. I am also grateful to our parents in Korea for their special support and patience, especially, to my father, who had missed us so much but passed away last winter without seeing us again. iv I also thank my first spiritual teacher Pastor Kun Sang Lee, for his teaching of a true Christian’s life through his own life, and for his prayer for our family. Most of all, I thank the Lord for guiding me throughout my life.
