Minimalization of Each Module in Generative Grammar

在这个研究项目中，我们从最简方案的角度考察了语言理论的各个模块。阿部俊从最简方案的角度考察了最简方案下的语言输出条件和语言缺陷。特别是，Abe考察了线性顺序和移位性质的句法性质，发现尽管这些性质构成了语言的缺陷，但它们在句法成分中起着至关重要的作用。大村武研究了最小化的语义方面。OMuro通过查阅大规模的现代英语语料库CoBuild Direct考察了One‘s Way结构的用法，并发现了它出现的一些特殊模式。Toshiyuki Tonoike从最低限度主义的角度研究了该词汇。Tonoike一直在考虑通过扩展生成词汇的思想来最小化词汇的可能性。在这样做的过程中，Tonoike研究了在日本观察到的强制机制。高泽直弘研究了最小化的词汇方面。Takizawa通过查阅大规模的现代英语语料库考察了各种构式，并发现了一些新的语言事实以及构式与词汇选择之间的关系。大西雅之则研究了最简方案主导思想背后的概念和哲学基础。Oishi的目标是构建一个只需要最少的假设和机制的句法理论。尤其是Oishi一直在研究词汇插入和拼写输出的机制。Kuniya Nasukawa从最低限度主义的角度重新审视了语音成分所必需的类别和结构。在这样做的过程中，Nasukawa研究了在自然语言中广泛观察到的发音现象和在日语中观察到的高音同化现象。

In this research project, we have investigated each module of linguistic theory from the perspectives of the Minimalist Program.Jun Abe has investigated bare output conditions and language imperfections from the Minimalist perspectives. In particular, Abe has examined the syntactic nature of linear ordering and displacement property and has found out that though these properties constitute language imperfections, they play crucial roles in syntactic component.Takeshi Omuro has investigated the semantic aspect of Minimalization. Omuro has examined the uses of the one's way construction by looking into the large-scale modern English corpus Cobuild Direct and has found out some peculiar patterns of its occurrences.Toshiyuki Tonoike has investigated the lexicon from the Minimalist perspectives. Tonoike has been considering the possibility of minimalizing the lexicon by extending the ideas of Generative Lexicon. In so doing, Tonoike has examined the mechanism of coercion observed in Japanese.Naohiro Takizawa has investigated the lexical aspect of Minimalization. Takizawa has examined a variety of constructions by looking into a large-scale modern English corpus and has found out some new linguistic facts and the relations between constructions and lexical choices underlying them.Masayuki Oishi has considered the conceptual and philosophical bases underlying the leading ideas of the Minimalist Program. Oishi has aimed at the construction of a syntactic theory that requires minimal assumptions and mechanisms. In particular, Oishi has been investigating the mechanism of lexical insertion and Spell-Out.Kuniya Nasukawa has reconsidered the categories and structures necessary in phonological component from the Minimalist perspectives. In so doing, Nasukawa examined the phenomena of voicing observed widely in natural languages and those of high-pitch assimilation observed in Japanese.
