ABSTRACT

The idiomatically combining expressions (ICEs) are compositional. In the repetitive right dislocation constructions (RDCs), the ICE correlate is identical with the ICE appendix, which is fronted in the appendix clause, followed by clausal ellipsis. The present work introduces the repetitive fragment answer, which is fronted to the sentence-initial position (i.e., Spec-CP) to be focused, followed by clausal ellipsis, keeping its idiomatic meaning unharmed. In the case of the repetitive fragment answer, the function of the focusing adverb modifying the verbal idiom including correlate in the direct (wh-)question is to put a strong emphasis on the correlate and induces the fragment answer to be focused. There is parallelism between the repetitive ICE RDCs and their corresponding repetitive ICE fragment answers in Korean, which shows that a natural consequence under the standard assumption that fragments are derived by ellipsis and are island-insensitive due to the repair effect.
