这篇文章讨论了在日语中发现的明显令人惊讶的现象的本质。日语分裂结构的焦点位置可以自由地出现两个或两个以上的句子成分（动词除外）。这些成分不可能被认为是构成基生成分的，因此这些“令人惊讶的成分”的存在给句法理论提出了一个有趣的问题。研究表明，一个方法，呼吁公开的动词提高占令人惊讶的成分是不够的，有一些原因。提出了一种替代方法，其中令人惊讶的成分是由“倾斜运动”（一个元素的运动到另一个元素，不占主导地位）。这一建议的后果进行了探讨相关的理论和实证领域。
This article discusses the nature of apparently surprising phenomena found in Japanese. Two or more elements of a sentence, excluding the verb, can appear rather freely in the focus position of Japanese cleft constructions. These elements cannot possibly be considered to form a base-generated constituent and hence the existence of such 'surprising constituents' poses an interesting problem for syntactic theory. it is shown that an approach that appeals to overt verb raising to account for surprising constituents is inadequate for a number of reasons. An alternative approach is proposed in which surprising constituents are formed by 'oblique movement' (movement of an element to another element that does not dominate it). Consequences of this proposal are explored for related theoretical and empirical domains.
