本文将日语宾语敬语纳入一个更大的跨语言语境中，并为一个令人困惑的性质提供了一个原则性的解释：直接宾语敬语在与格论元的存在下被阻止。遵循生成文献中的一个既定传统，我们将荣誉化视为协议的情况，但是，不像以前的方法，依赖于Spec-Head配置，我们表明，乔姆斯基（2000）同意机制足以获得（对象）协议。我们认为，与格元素的阻塞效应是一个更普遍的局部性约束，“有缺陷的干预”，乔姆斯基2000年提出的反射。分析还提供了一个令人信服的论据，赞成采取的顺序在日本作为基本的，并反对基地代的方法，以争先恐后。
This paper integrates Japanese object honorification within a larger cross-linguistic context, and provides a principled explanation for an otherwise puzzling property: the fact that direct object honorification is blocked in the presence of a dative argument. Following a well-established tradition in the generative literature, we regard honorification as a case of agreement, but, unlikeprevious approaches, which rely on Spec-Head configurations, we show that Chomsky's (2000) Agree mechanism suffices for (object) agreement to obtain. We argue that the blocking effect of dative elements is a reflex of a more general locality constraint, `defective intervention', proposed by Chomsky 2000. The analysis also provides a compelling argument in favor of taking the order in Japanese as basic, and against base-generation approaches to scrambling.
