초록

The traditional analyses of Japanese passive constructions in the framework of generative grammar have been divided largely between the Uniform Hypothesis and the Nonuniform Hypothesis. Despite what its name suggests, the Uniform Hypothesis does not prove to be sufficiently “uniform” when a wider range of data is considered, and therefore it is not conceptually more elegant than the Nonuniform Hypothesis. In addition, some empirical problems still remain unsolved in these classic analyses although subsequent research has been continued to produce a more general theory for reconciling them. Hence, this paper proposes a new analysis that deserves to be called a “unified” approach to Japanese passives in such a way that only one kind of passive morpheme is needed to account for all the relevant passive constructions. In an attempt to achieve theoretical simplicity, it will also suggest a device for adding an extra argument in a monoclausal sentence.

Abstract

The traditional analyses of Japanese passive constructions in the framework of generative grammar have been divided largely between the Uniform Hypothesis and the Nonuniform Hypothesis. Despite what its name suggests, the Uniform Hypothesis does not prove to be sufficiently “uniform” when a wider range of data is considered, and therefore it is not conceptually more elegant than the Nonuniform Hypothesis. In addition, some empirical problems still remain unsolved in these classic analyses although subsequent research has been continued to produce a more general theory for reconciling them. Hence, this paper proposes a new analysis that deserves to be called a “unified” approach to Japanese passives in such a way that only one kind of passive morpheme is needed to account for all the relevant passive constructions. In an attempt to achieve theoretical simplicity, it will also suggest a device for adding an extra argument in a monoclausal sentence.
