To my dear brother Baek-Kyoung. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank my two advisors, Ellen Prince and Martha Palmer. I am eternally indebted to them for their encouragement and intellectual and spiritual guidance, which shaped me as a researcher throughout my long journey towards graduation. Ellen, whom I have the honor of being the last student of, has been a great source of inspiration to me for her sharp intellect and wisdom, as well as her unparalleled zest for life. I owe Martha not only for her generous financial support over the years, but also for her guardianship – she truly took me under her wings. I also thank Robin Clark for his teachings during my early years of graduate school; Bill Poser, whose love and knowledge of everything linguistic has always shown me the greatness to aspire to; and last but not the least, my committee, Maribel Romero and Ar-avind Joshi, who provided valuable feedbacks on the directions of the thesis, which not unlike any other theses started out as a entangled jumble of grand ideas.
