초록

The goal of the paper is to investigate the properties of syntactic edges with special attention to numeral quantifiers in Japanese. Building on the proposal that orderings in syntactic edges are restricted by probe-goal search and cyclic linearization (Ko 2005, 2007), this paper shows that the distribution of numeral quantifiers in Japanese show the effects expected in syntactic edges: namely that, a subject-oriented numeral quantifier cannot be separated from the associated subject by their vP-domain-mates. I provide empirical evidence for this claim from leftward subject scrambling, leftward numeral scrambling, and Control constructions in Japanese. The paper shows that seemingly different types of ordering restrictions in Japanese can be understood as the same effect: the Edge Generalization. It is also shown that previous accounts on floating numeral quantifiers in Japanese are either too weak or too strong to explain the full range of paradigms expected under the current proposal.

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to investigate the properties of syntactic edges with special attention to numeral quantifiers in Japanese. Building on the proposal that orderings in syntactic edges are restricted by probe-goal search and cyclic linearization (Ko 2005, 2007), this paper shows that the distribution of numeral quantifiers in Japanese show the effects expected in syntactic edges: namely that, a subject-oriented numeral quantifier cannot be separated from the associated subject by their vP-domain-mates. I provide empirical evidence for this claim from leftward subject scrambling, leftward numeral scrambling, and Control constructions in Japanese. The paper shows that seemingly different types of ordering restrictions in Japanese can be understood as the same effect: the Edge Generalization. It is also shown that previous accounts on floating numeral quantifiers in Japanese are either too weak or too strong to explain the full range of paradigms expected under the current proposal.
