One of the issues of generative theorizing in Japanese concerns the existence of V-raising to T. The studies which offer and support for V-raising to T are Otani and Whitman (1991), Koizumi (2000), Miyagawa (2001), among others. On the other hand, the studies against this head movement are Fukui and Takano (1996), Sakai (1998), Watanabe (1999) and Takano (2005). This argument has continued for decades, and is still going on. During this time, Chomsky (1995) has proposed that there is a light verb v, which assigns Agent-role to an external argument of its maximal projection. In this so-called “light verb hypothesis,” Chomsky assumes that V moves to v overtly. This makes things more complicated. If there is V-to-T raising, then we can easily predict that V-to-v raising occurs before V gets to T, for v is located between V and T. But if there is no V-to-T raising, then we need to know whether V may stay in situ, or raise to v either overtly or covertly. For researchers who oppose V-to-T raising (the syntactic V-raising to T does not exist, and the amalgam is the result of “morphological merger”), no positive argument has ever been presented for the existence of the V-raising to v. So far these researchers have accepted the assumption of V-raising to v, along with Chomsky (see Kishimoto (2001), Hirata (2005), Ogawa (2007), among others). This is the very point which this paper will focus on, with the intention of making it clear that Japanese has the overt V-raising to v, making use of indeterminate pronoun binding in the sense of Kishimoto (2001).
