Studies on Core and Peripheral Syntactic Phenomena in Generation Grammar

OBA、Yukio对英语中的核心句法现象进行了研究，尤其是wh移位和双宾语结构。在阅读了有关这些主题的书籍和论文后，我在2002年发表了两篇论文，题目分别是《专有效应和阶段不可穿透性条件》和《从分布形态的角度看双宾语结构》。在过去的一年里，我继续研究双宾语结构，并发表了一篇论文，在论文中我提出了一个结构，其中第一个宾语位于空P的补语位置，可以表示两个宾语之间的所有关系。在本文中，我试图用乔姆斯基的强制性规则Th(主题化/ex(提取))来解释wh移位和重名词短语移位不适用于第一宾语或第一宾语的任何成分。这篇论文的修订版将发表在美国语言学杂志《语言学分析》上。金崎有村进行了一项研究，认为随着我们对普遍语法的理解的加深，对所谓的外围语言的研究变得更加重要。英语的特点之一是双重所有格结构(这是John的朋友)；这很特别，因为这是英语独有的，在早期英语中有类似*This John‘s的对应形式。他在Den Dikken(1998)和Kayne(1995)的见解(2004年被现代英语协会采纳)的基础上写了一篇论文《重新思考双重所有格结构》。他还为奥尔加·费舍尔(2000)撰写了一篇评论文章《早期英语的句法》。然而，为了发现英语的外围领域，确实需要更多的研究，例如，with-结构(圣诞节即将到来)或谓词性短语如(视他为诚实)。这些领域有待进一步研究。

Oba, Yukio has researched on core syntactic phenomena in English, especially on wh-movement and the double object construction. After reading through books and papers concerning these topics, I published two papers in 2002, whose titles are "Specificity Effects and the Phase Impenetrability Condition," and "On the Double Object Construction; From a Perspective of the Distributed Morphology," respectively. In the last fiscal year, I continued studying on the double object construction, and I published a paper, in which I suggested a structure with the first object in the complement position of an empty P which can express a possessive relation between the two objects. In this paper, I attempted to account for the inapplicability of wh-movement and heavy NP shift to the first object or any elements of the first object in terms of Chomsky's obligatory rule Th (thematization/EX(extraction). The modified version of this paper will be published in the American Linguistics Journal Linguistics Analysis.Arimura, Kaneaki has conducted research in the relation that research into what is called "peripheral" has came to be more important as our understanding of Universal Grammar deepens. One of the peculiarities of English is the double genitive construction (this friend of John's); this is peculiar because this is unique to English and there was a corresponding form like *this John's in earlier English. He wrote a paper "Rethinking the double genitive construction," based on den Dikken's (1998) and Kayne's (1995) insights (it was adopted by Modern English Association in 2004). He also wrote a review article of Olga Fisher (2000) The Syntax of Early English. Nevertheless it is true that more research is needed in order to uncover peripheral areas of English, for example, cases like with-constructions (with Christmas coming soon) or predicational as phrases like (regard him as honest). These areas are left for further research.
