多年来，日语一直被认为是非构形语言的一个主要例子。这一思想最初是独立于政府和约束理论的主要思想而提出的，并与之并行发展。其实质是：（1）日语句子具有扁平结构，缺乏范畴VP;（2）日语句子不仅是扁平的，而且它们像移动体，缺乏线性词序;（3）最后，具有所谓的复杂谓词（如使役）的句子进一步扁平化，因为复杂谓词存储在词典中，并且不能识别嵌入。最后一点是词汇主义的影响。因此，至少在描述上，非构形的日语句法似乎是对结构主义的全面回归：参见Farmer（1980），Miyagawa（1980）。
For some years Japanese has been cited as a prime example of a nonconfigurational language. This idea was put forth independently of the main ideas of the government and binding theory and developed in parallel to it at first. What is claimed in essence is that (1) Japanese sentences have a flat structure, lacking the category VP, (2) not only are they flat, but they are like mobiles, lacking linear word order, and (3) finally, sentences with so-called complex predicates like causatives are further flattened, since complex predicates are stored in the lexicon and sentence-embedding is not recognized. This last point is the influence of lexicalism. Descriptively at least, then, the nonconfigurational Japanese syntax appears to be a total return to structuralism: see Farmer (1980), Miyagawa (1980).
