本文对日语复合谓语结构中的主格宾语进行了新的分析。在这个分析中，主格宾语被等同于一个先行宾语，一个在VP矩阵中基生成的元素，并在嵌入的小句中绑定一个先行宾语。分析表明，收到的实证支持的事实，主格宾语是断开的，并可以有各种关系，嵌入小句。本文还讨论了相关的问题，包括格、LF位置和主格宾语的主题属性。这个提议导致了这样的主张，即日语中有两种类型的prolepsis，一种是proleptic对象是主格的，另一种是主格的。
A novel analysis of nominative objects in Japanese complex predicate constructions is proposed. In this analysis the nominative object is identified with a proleptic object, an element that is base-generated in the matrix VP and binds a pro in the embedded clause. The analysis is shown to receive empirical support from the fact that the nominative object is disconnected from, and can have various relations with, the embedded clause. Related issues are also addressed, including those concerning the case, LF position, and thematic properties of the nominative object. This proposal leads to the claim that there are two types of prolepsis in Japanese, one where the proleptic object is accusative and another where it is nominative.
