In this article we offer a prosodic account for the sentence-medial attachment phenomenon of the particle -yo in Korean. Adopting a derivational approach to prosodic hierarchy formation, we argue that once the particle attaches to the edge of a prosodic unit that Spell-Out defines, it has to be placed at the edge of a prosodic constituent throughout the prosodic derivation. We show that this prosodic account also provides an uncomplicated explanation for certain phenomena which remain puzzling for previous syntactic/morphological analyses.

-yo附件的韵律用语

在本文中，我们提供了一个韵律解释，说明了韩语中粒子yo的句中附着现象。我们采用派生方法进行韵律层次形成，我们认为，一旦粒子附着到Spell-Out定义的韵律单元的边缘，就必须在整个韵律派生过程中将其放置在韵律成分的边缘。我们表明，这种韵律说明也为某些现象提供了简单的解释，而这些现象对于以前的句法/形态学分析仍然令人费解。
