One of the controversial issues in the Japanese syntax is how the nominative Case on NPs is licensed. The related question would be whether there is a relationship between the interpretation (the exhaustive-listing and the neutral description interpretation) and the licensing conditions on the nomanative Case. We first show that there are two types of nominative objects in Japanese and that this difference should be attributed to the distinction between the exhaustive-listing interpretation and the neutral description interpretation. Extendin Yoon's (2007) analysis of major subjects and Woolford's (2006) Case system, we argue that the nominative Case on the object NP that has the exhaustive-listing interpretation is licensed by the sentential predicate, and thus it is an inherent Case. On the other hand, we argue, following Takezawa(1987) and Ura(1996, 2000), that the nominative Case on the NPs that receive neutral description interpretation is licensed by T. As a result, the nominative Case on subjects and objects (or adjuncts) is subject to the same grammatical operations.
Abstract
One of the controversial issues in the Japanese syntax is how the nominative Case on NPs is licensed. The related question would be whether there is a relationship between the interpretation (the exhaustive-listing and the neutral description interpretation) and the licensing conditions on the nomanative Case. We first show that there are two types of nominative objects in Japanese and that this difference should be attributed to the distinction between the exhaustive-listing interpretation and the neutral description interpretation. Extendin Yoon's (2007) analysis of major subjects and Woolford's (2006) Case system, we argue that the nominative Case on the object NP that has the exhaustive-listing interpretation is licensed by the sentential predicate, and thus it is an inherent Case. On the other hand, we argue, following Takezawa(1987) and Ura(1996, 2000), that the nominative Case on the NPs that receive neutral description interpretation is licensed by T. As a result, the nominative Case on subjects and objects (or adjuncts) is subject to the same grammatical operations.
