本文探讨了日语中“为什么”的逻辑形式提取的相关事实。在日语中,wh短语naze被认为是一个典型的附加wh成分,即英语why的对应物,因此,它与空范畴原则(ECP)有关的行为在文献中已经被研究过(cf.特别是Lasnik和Saito(1984))。在下文中,我将提出关于LF提取naze的各种新事实,所有这些都指向同一个结论,即特别是与先行词-政府相关的障碍概念,以及一般的先行词-痕迹关系,必须根据L标记而不是根据NP,S ',这一论点为Chomsky(1986)在句法(狭义理解)和LF中正确描述障碍概念的方法提供了新的经验证据。此外,我认为,本文提出的事实对日本纳粹作为ECP的一个行为良好的附属物的标准特征表示怀疑,并导致我们得出一个相当令人惊讶的结论,即日本缺乏真正的纳粹主义者在与ECP相关的意义上。本文的结构如下。第一节简要介绍了Chomsky(1986)壁垒理论的相关部分。在第2节中,我将介绍一组日本的数据LF提取的烟雾。第3节展示了如何在乔姆斯基(1986)的框架内自然地处理第2节中提供的数据,其中相关的障碍概念是根据L标记定义的。第4节研究了关于haze提取的事实对语言学的理论影响 * 该材料的准备由麻省理工学院认知科学中心在AP Sloan基金会认知科学项目的资助下支持。本文的部分内容已提交给位于阿默斯特的马萨诸塞州大学的东方语言学研讨会和康奈尔大学的一次学术讨论会。听众向我提供了一些建议,有助于改进本文的内容。我要感谢Noam Chomsky、Ken黑尔、霍华德拉斯尼克、Luigi Rizzi、Mamoru Saito和NLLT的三位匿名评论者提出的宝贵意见和建议。我还要感谢Andy Barss、Kazuko Harada、Shin Oshima、Tova Rapoport和Peggy Speas提供的有益的意见和讨论。所有可能存在的缺点当然是我自己的。
This paper investigates various facts, all of which are related to LOGICAL FORM (LF) extraction of naze'why'in Japanese. The Wh-phrase naze has been assumed to be a typical adjunct Wh-element in Japanese, ie, the counterpart of English why, and consequently, its behavior with respect to the EMPTY CATEGORY PRINCIPLE (ECP) has been examined in the literature (cf. in particular, Lasnik and Saito (1984)). In what follows, I will present various new facts concerning LF extraction of naze, all of which point to the same conclusion-that the notion of BARRIER relevant to antecedent-government in particular, and to antecedent-trace relations in general, must be defined in terms of L-marking rather than in terms of category types such as NP, S', etc. This argument provides new empirical evidence for Chomsky's (1986) approach to the proper characterization of the concept of barriers in syntax (narrowly understood) and LF. Furthermore, I will argue that the facts presented in this paper cast doubt on the standard characterization of Japanese naze as a well-behaved adjunct with respect to the ECP, and lead us to the rather surprising conclusion that Japanese lacks true adjuncts in the sense relevant to the ECP. The organization of the paper is as follows. Section 1 introduces very briefly the relevant part of Chomsky's (1986) barriers theory. In section 2, I will present a set of Japanese data concerning LF extraction of haze. Section 3 shows how the data presented in section 2 can be handled naturally within Chomsky's (1986) framework, in which the relevant notion of barriers is defined in terms of L-marking. Section 4 investigates theoretical implications of the facts about haze extraction for linguistic* Preparation of this material was supported by the MIT Center for Cognitive Science under a grant from the AP Sloan Foundation's program in Cognitive Science. Portions of this paper were presented to the Workshop on Oriental Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and in a colloquium at Cornell University. The audiences provided me with a number of suggestions that helped improve the content of this paper. I would like to thank Noam Chomsky, Ken Hale, Howard Lasnik, Luigi Rizzi, Mamoru Saito, and three anonymous reviewers of NLLT for valuable comments and suggestions. I am also indebted to Andy Barss, Kazuko Harada, Shin Oshima, Tova Rapoport, and Peggy Speas for helpful comments and discussions. All the shortcomings that may remain are of course my own.
