영어의 형용사 문형에 관한 연구
The aim of this study is to analyze some adjective constructions, such as likely-type, tough-type, necessary-type and probable-type in English special adjective constructions. We have searched some data connected with English adjective constructions named above from school grammar to early transformational grammar GB-theory and Minimalist program. Finally we find that there are not only few research date but also few explanations on special English adjective constructions in school grammar. In early transformational grammar, to explain raising constructions they introduce the notions of deep structure and surface structure. But there was no theoretically sufficient explanation for the reason of raising constructions. In GB they attempted to explain the reason of raising constructions by using the theories and principles. Despite the attempts used GB theory, some problems occurred to raising constructions without solutions. As the attempt to brief sub-theories and maximize the explanation of grammar, they introduce Minimalist Program. This thesis accepts Chomsky’s Phase theory. Finally we insist that in generating sentence progress Phase theory have been the most explanatory than the other previous theories, connected with the special English adjective constructions in raising.
