Abstract

Yeon-Seung Kim. 2018. No I-to-C Movement in the So Do Construction. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 22-1, 78-98. This paper investigates how the so do construction is derived. Contrary to most scholars’ argument that I-to-C movement applies in the derivation of the so do construction, we argue that there is no I-to-C movement in the construction. So is a proform derived by means of VP-preposing and so-replacement, occupying TopP-Spec. On the contrary, neither is a negative focus element occupying FocP-Spec. We propose that the subject-auxiliary inversion shown in both the so do construction and the neither construction results from a different operation: subject postposing in the former, and I-to-Foc movement in the latter.

Keywords: focalization, I-to-Foc movement, so-replacement, subject postposing, topicalization, VP-deletion, VP-preposing
