In this paper, I examine a novel type of comparative construction in Korean, namely, reduced NP comparatives (RNC), and consider its implications. On the surface, RNC may appear to be a case of the usual NP comparative construction in that two NPs are involved. But, unlike typical NP comparatives, the element bearing the marker of the standard of comparison in RNC does not directly participate in the comparison, i.e., there is a mismatch between the standard and pivot. I argue this is due to the fact that the standard is reduced to leave only the pivot on the surface, hence the name “reduced” NP comparatives. I also argue that one of the factors that determines the availability of RNC is the notion of comparability, which is based on whether or not the compared elements can be associated with the same scale, where the scale is part of the semantics of the gradable predicate (Cf. Kennedy 2009). The interesting twist is that RNC is possible only if the relevant elements are not comparable with each other, i.e., they should denote different types of objects that cannot be associated with the same scale. Adopting Merchant’s (The syntax of silence: sluicing, islands, and the theory of ellipsis. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2001, Linguist Philos 27:661–738, 2004, J Greek Linguist 9:134–164, 2009, among others) move-and-delete approach to various ellipsis constructions, I propose a move-and-delete analysis of RNC, where the pivot undergoes movement, followed by deletion of the rest of the standard. The discussion also has implications for NP-ellipsis in Korean.

减少韩语中的 NP 比较及其含义。

在本文中,我研究了韩语中一种新型的比较结构,即缩减的 NP 比较(RNC),并考虑其含义。从表面上看,RNC 似乎是一个常见的 NP 比较结构,因为它涉及到两个 NP。但是,与典型的 NP 比较不同,RNC 中带有比较标准标记的元素不直接参与比较,即标准和枢轴之间存在不匹配。我认为这是因为标准被缩减为只在表面上留下支点,因此名称为“缩减”的 NP 比较。我还认为,决定 RNC 可用性的因素之一是可比性的概念,它基于被比较的元素是否可以与相同的规模相关联,其中规模是可分级谓词语义的一部分(Cf. Kennedy 2009)。有趣的转折是,RNC 只有在相关元素不能相互比较时才有可能,即它们应该表示不能与相同尺度相关联的不同类型的对象。采用商人的(沉默的句法:sluicing, island, and the theory of ellipsis.
