The purpose of this study is to demonstrate Korean pre-nouns and English determiners have different features. The view of the noun phrase has been changed since Abney(1987)'s analysis of noun phrase. As a result, many linguists have argued article-less languages have DPs whose heads are nulls. Bošković(2008a, 2010a, 2012), however, divided languages into two groups, DP languages and NP languages according to the presence/absence of articles. He proposed DP/NP generalizations regarding the DP/NP languages parameter and argued for a no-DP analysis of article-less languages. Korean is likely to be an NP language through the test with respect to Bošković's generalizations. That is to say, since Korean allows scrambling, radical pro-drop, etc., it patterns with NP languages. If Korean is an NP language, the questions now arise: Is there no D within Korean NP? Do Korean pre-nouns and English determiners have different features?
It seems Korean pre-nouns are alike English determiners because they modify the followed nouns to refer to or represent amounts. In this study, however, there are three evidences to show the features of pre-nouns are different from those of determiners. First, they have different properties in distribution. Namely, while pre-nouns are allowed to be both before and after adjectives, determiners must be before adjectives. Next, there is number agreement between determiners and the followed nouns, whereas there is constraint of meaning between pre-nouns and the followed nouns.
In conclusion, Korean pre-nouns and English determiners have different features; accordingly, Korean doesn't have a DP and the elements within Korean NP are NP-adjoined.
