There have been some attempts to account for the matter of subject ellipsis, but no clear answer has yet been found. According to previous studies, subjects which are identifiable in a given context can be deleted. However, there are many cases where such subjects are not deleted, but appear. This course attempts to solve the problem of why some subjects are deleted while other subjects are not, by suggesting some discourse- pragmatic concepts.

12. Introduction  Nov. 7 – Class 10  Lee, Jae-Seong, PNU  Department of English Lagnuage and Literature, College of Humanities  How can the arts and literatures of Japan and Korea contribute to the development of the ethics of post modern world?  This class will enable students to seek the ways in which Asians can contribute to the ethical development of the world, which is presently led by Western civilization. Modernism has capitalized the value of the ability of the individual and post-modernism has gone further with that idea. Postmodernism, as a result, has a negative aspect of producing too much free, senseless individualistic mentality. Particularly Suzuki’s Zen Buddhism and Lee Toe-Gae and Lee Yul- Gok’s Neo-Confucianism will be excellent ways of viewing the world and history from the perspective of the ethics for the twenty- first century. Ethics here is on a much higher level of human spirit and mentality than morality.
