本文通过对日语动词的讨论，对Aronoff（1994）意义上的自主形态的必要性的争论做出了贡献。这个问题集中在所谓的“yooform”的理论地位上，传统的方法认为它是由特定的后缀在形态上选择的。我认为，没有必要诉诸形态选择来获得日语动词的正确形式。相反，出现在thern 'yooform中的[i]的存在，在语音上（作为增音）或句法上（作为不定式标记）被预测。证据来自现代日本以及从前现代日本，我认为，在历时以及，没有证据表明，自主形态正在发挥积极的作用。
This paper contributes to the debate over the necessity of autonomous morphology in the sense of Aronoff (1994) by discussing Japanese verbs. The issue centers on the theoretical status of the so-calledren’yooform, which the traditional approach says is selected morphologically by particular suffixes. I claim that there is no need to resort to morphological selection to obtain the correct form of Japanese verbs. Instead, the presence of [i], which appears in theren’yooform, is predicted either phonologically (as an epenthesis) or syntactically (as the infinitive marker). The evidence comes form modern Japanese as well as from premodern Japanese, and I argue that in diachrony as well, there is no evidence that autonomous morphology is playing active roles.
