Markedness has been one of the consistent topics in the research of linguistics. The purpose of this research project was to investigate the mechanism for markedness in human language, comparing, in particular, syntax and acquisition of complex Noun Phrases and complex Predicates in English and Japanese. First, based on detailed research on the structure of relative clauses and the new corpus I created with Tomoko Hashimoto, I proposed that there are TP-relative-clause-languages and CP relative-clause languages, and CP is the unmarked structure as Murasugi (1991) disrussed. This proposal allows us to formulate the acquisition theory based on the markedness theory, and enables us to account for the complex pattern of the well-known overgeneration phenomena in Japanese acquisition.Further, I examined the intermediate stages widely reported in the acquisition of complex predicates. I investigated the erroneous forms children make in the acquisition of transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, and causatives under the VP shell analysis. Based on the detailed analysis of CHILDES database and the data corpus created by Tomoko Hashimoto and myselt I presented a hypothesis that Japanese-speaking children initially set the parameter value that the small vis mophologically null (like vin English transitive-& intransitive-verb pass). Finally, based on the research on the other types of complex predicates such as potentials, I argued that the proposed analysis would be extended to the analysis of the errors hind in the acquisition stages of the complex predicates in general. This research is currently being developed into the next major project that I plan to undertake.

标记性一直是语言学研究中一贯的话题之一。本研究的目的是探讨人类语言中标记性的机制，特别是比较英语和日语中复杂名词短语和复杂谓词的句法和习得。首先，在详细研究关系从句的结构和我与桥本智子建立的新语料库的基础上，我提出了关系从句有TP关系从句语言和CP关系从句语言的观点，CP是Murasugi(1991)所讨论的无标记结构。这一建议使我们能够在标记性理论的基础上形成习得理论，并能够解释日语习得中众所周知的过度生成现象的复杂模式。此外，我还考察了复杂谓词习得中广泛报道的中间阶段。在VP壳分析的框架下，我考察了儿童在及物动词、及物动词和使役动词习得中出现的错误形式。在对Childes数据库和桥本智子和myselt创建的语料库进行详细分析的基础上，我提出了一个假设，即说日语的儿童最初设定的参数值是小Vis在词法上为零(如vin英语及物动词和不及物动词通过)。最后，在对其他类型的复谓词如势的研究的基础上，笔者认为本文的分析可以推广到复谓词习得阶段的偏误分析。这项研究目前正在发展为我计划承担的下一个重大项目。
