Korean nominal phrases display both flexibility in their internal word order and also rigidity in the sequencing of certain elements. This paper focuses on a linear ordering constraint on the occurrence of arguments of nouns which requires a strict relative sequencing of such elements, no matter where they are distributed across different locations within DPs. The paper suggests that the most appropriate mechanism to capture the complex patterns observed is Fox and Pesetsky's (2005) Cyclic Linearization approach, which records and compares the linear ordering of elements across different Spell‐out domains. It is argued that the patterns found in Korean can be successfully captured in a Cyclic Linearization analysis if it is assumed that Korean nominal projections consist in two Spell‐out domains–DP and nP – in a way resembling the bi‐cyclic composition of clauses, and that Korean provides novel support from the syntax of nominal phrases for Cyclic Linearization, originally motivated by patterns found in clausal domains.

韩语名词短语和循环线性化中的严格与自由词序模式

韩语名词短语在其内部词序方面表现出灵活性，在某些元素的顺序上也表现出刚性。本文重点研究名词参数出现的线性排序约束，这需要这些元素的严格相对排序，无论它们分布在 DP 内的不同位置的何处。该论文建议捕捉观察到的复杂模式的最合适机制是 Fox 和 Pesetsky (2005) 的循环线性化方法，该方法记录和比较不同拼写域中元素的线性排序。
