项目摘要

Syntax : The outstanding properties of Japanese scrambling were made clear through extensive joint research with G. Grewendorf, J.Sabel (Germanic languages), Z.Boskovic (Slavic languages), S.Miyagawa (Altaic languages), and J. Jayaseelan (Dravidian languages). The most fundamental among those properties is that the movement is not reflected in semantic representation. A concrete analysis of Japanese scrambling was proposed on the basis of this result. The analysis develops the minimalist theory so that chains are interpreted cyclically by deletion of syntactic features, and it successfully explains the major properties of Japanese scrambling, including the radical reconstruction property, the mixed A/A' nature of the landing site, and the strict obedience of the trace to the proper binding condition. Finally, a proposal was made to explain why Japanese, and not other languages, has this type of, scrambling. The hypothesis is that this is due to the fact that Japanese employs 'Merge' in its purest form in phrase structure construction. This accounts for other unique phenomena in Japanese as well, for example, the light verb construction and extensive argument ellipsis.Acquisition : Some experiments were conducted on the acquisition of scrambling with 2〜4 year old subjects. The results indicate that scrambling is already acquired at a very early stage (about 2 years of age), in contradiction with the findings reported in the literature. In particular, the results show clearly that scrambling is acquired much earlier than passive, and this supports the hypothesis that scrambling is not feature-driven. This conclusion is in perfect harmony with and hence, supports the proposal in the syntactic research that Japanese has scrambling with unique properties because of the way it employs'Merge' in phrase-structure building.

语法：通过与G. Grewendorf，J。Sabel（日耳曼语言），Z。Boskovic（Slavic语言），S。Miyagawa（Altaic语言）和J. Jayaseelan（Dravidian语言）（Dravidian语言）的广泛联合研究，可以清楚地清楚日本争夺的出色特性。这些属性中最基本的是，该运动没有反映在语义表示中。根据此结果，提出了对日本争夺的具体分析。该分析开发了微小主义理论，因此通过删除句法特征对链条进行周期性解释，并成功地解释了日本争夺的主要特性，包括自由基重建特性，着陆位点的混合A/A'和对痕量的严格服从性的混合A/A'，以适应适当的结合条件。最后，提出了一项建议，以解释为什么日语而不是其他语言都有这种类型的争夺。假设是，这是由于日本员工在短语结构结构中最纯粹的形式“合并”。例如，这也说明了日语中其他独特的现象，例如，轻度动词的构造和广泛的论证省略者。结果表明，与文献中报道的发现相矛盾，争夺已经是在很早的阶段（大约2岁）获得的。特别是，结果清楚地表明，争夺比被动得多得多，这支持了以下假设：争夺不是特征驱动的。这个结论与之完全和谐，因此支持了句法研究中的提议，即日本人在短语结构建筑中采用了“ Mergerge”，因此日本人争先恐后地争夺了独特的属性。
