제외 의미의 5가지 ‘but + 전치사’ 구조 유형 비교

Abstract

There are a few expressions which mean “exception” in English; among which are ‘but’ and ‘but for.’ The but-structures have been analyzed as so-called ‘but-cleft’ by Kim(2005), where Kim proposed that <X but Y> correlatives are required to satisfy the 3 constraints on their occurrences: the endorsement(E) condition, the semantic condition(S) of ‘part-whole’(S) and a structural or functional parallelism(P) condition between X and Y. This study has dual goal: 1) to show that a slightly revised version of the E/S/P-Conditions by Kim’s (2005) for <X but Y> construction can be applied for the distinction in use between <X but Y> construction and its alternative form <X but + preposition Y> and 2) to identify five different types of <X but + preposition Y> constructions in terms of the optionality/kinds/grammatical statuses of an occurring preposition, the meanings/grammatical statuses of ‘but’ and the exclusive uses for the <X but + preposition Y> structures of ‘revised’ E/S/P-Conditions.
