In this paper, I will present an analysis of two controversial phenomena in Japanese as "concealed clefts." One is the sluicing phenomenon and the other is the short answers to Wh-questions . The analysis of the first as a "concealed cleft" is already proposed in a number of works . The purpose here is to make it more precise. I will argue that the argument ellipsis hypothesis of Kim 1999 and Oku 1998 solves some old problems in Japanese syntax. First, it solves the apparent paradox with the "sluicing phenomenon," which is that some examples are clearly concealed clefts and yet allow sloppy interpretation. Secondly, it enables us to sharpen Nishigauchi`s 1990 analysis of Wh-question/answer pairs, and pinpoint exactly where Subjacency effects are detected in short answers. If the arguments in this paper hold, they provide further support for the argument ellipsis hypothesis.

This paper examines non-default/default case environments in English and explores the nature of default case and its realization mechanism in this language. We advance four claims about the default case licensing mechanism: (ⅰ) The default case mechanism is capitalized on to spell out nominal expressions whose Case feature fails to be valued because of the deficiency of the Case value-licensing head, (ⅱ) Nominal expressions without Case valuation have case form through default case licensing at the morphological/phonological component, (ⅲ) Both Nominative and Accusative case can be default case in English, (ⅳ) The selection of the particular Case value through the default case mechanism depends on several factors such as relative positions of nominal expressions and the invariant strong form constraint (Quinn 2002).

The goal of this article is to discuss properties of functional categories in the framework of Chomsky (1999)`s minimalist theory. We will divide core functional categories of English into sixteen types of categories and specify their syntactic properties in terms of EPP feature, EPP tense feature, and EPP affix feature. We will justify the necessity of the EPP tense feature and the EPP affix feature on the empirical basis of English data. The notion of EPP affix feature will be justified on empirical grounds.

This paper deals with the so-called PTI (presentational there inversion) construction in which the expletive there functions as the grammatical subject with a postverbal topic PP and a focus NP in sequence. The PTI construction displays similarities as well as differences with the LI (locative inversion) and ETI (existential there inversion) constructions. After examining the basic properties of these three constructions, the paper provides a constraint-based analysis of these constructions within the framework of HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar). The analysis, in which lexical realizations and constraints play crucial roles, could shed light on how the PTI construction is related to these two other constructions.

Since the beginning of the progressive in English, its basic function has evolved into other areas. The functional extension seems to have to do with two functional features [+initialized] and [-finalized] of the progressive. These two features are considered to make up the progressive. Either of these two features, or sometimes both of them work toward the development of new functions of the progressive in one way or another. This paper aims to explore how these two functional features work their way into other uses. How the features affect the new functions of the progressive, including planned events to happen in the future, background, politeness, and temporariness, will be discussed. It is also examined how the progressive form of reporting verbs indicates emotional changes in speaker`s attitude, and why performative verbs usually do not take the progressive.

In the literature of the interface between lexical semantics and syntax, the syntactic realization of argument structure has drawn the most serious attention of researchers like Jackendoff (1990), Levin and Hovav (1998), Pustejovsky (1991, 1995), Croft (1998). Ritter and Rosen (1998. 2000), and many others. They share the idea that the syntactic structure of a verb develops from the information of the semantic structure or event structure of the verb. The current paper also deals with the most frequently analyzed topics of causative-inchoative alternation and location-locatum alternation. However, differently from most previous analyses in the literature, by looking deeper into the subevents instead of referring to the event structure as whole, the current paper pursuits a better analysis of the above phenomena. To this purpose, a new hybrid framework is made out of Jackendoffs (1990)`s ways of representing `conceptual structures` and linking algorithm, and Pustejovsky`s (1995) way of` using "Event Headedness", which marks cognitively more prominent subevents. Not only can the current hybrid framework provide better explanations for frame alternations, but also for the incongruity in cancellability of the achievement effect of causative verbs like break, kill, tear, wash etc. in the past form by the ensuing negation clause between English and languages like Korean. Japanese. and Tamil. What all the accounts of these phenomena share in common is to make reference to the notion of Event Headedness. Therefore, Event Headedness has grammatical reality.

The purpose of this paper is to seek an adequate interpretation of until-construction against the two existing analyses (one is "double-until analysis," the other is "durative analysis"). I attempt to provide an alternative analysis, in which there is only one kind of until. I will show that a unified treatment of until is available, once it is recognized that this item is a kind of ordering operator. Of course it is inevitable that there is a difference of interpretations of until-constructions, depending on whether the until is used with a positive verb or with a negative verb. Until is analyzed as a binary operator which orders its arguments, A and B, but at the same time I refer to the cases in which argument A or not-A may be cancelled. The primary idea in this analysis is that the presence of until refers to the endpoint of an eventuality and implies a reversal of the eventuality at that point. The hypothesis for an adequate analysis of until hinges on the following two-fold claim: the until with a positive verb (usually durative verbs) generally represents the `stopping of argument A` at the switching point, plus the possible implicature of the `duration of argument A,` whereas the until with a negative verb (usually punctual verbs) usually represents `the beginning of argument A` at the switching point, plus the possible implicature of the `duration of not-A.`

This paper aims to give a preliminary proposal to DRT to represent the universal and existential readings of donkey sentences within the framework of Kamp and Reyle (1993). When only EVERY DRS construction rule is applied to donkey sentences without any universal effect, existential readings as basic and universal readings as additional can be obtained from them. Meanwhile, whenever universal effect comes out of the context, UNIVERSAL EFFECT DRS construction rule I propose in this paper should be applied to the donkey pronoun. The result is that only universal readings will be obtained. Though some donkey sentences have only existential readings and others only universal readings, the typical donkey sentences are ambiguous for two readings. In this respect, along with Chierchia (1995), I presume that existential readings are basic and universal readings are additional. I try to seek an adequate proposal in this paper, on the basis that universal readings are stronger, in the sense that they entail the corresponding existential readings.

The primary purpose of this paper is to descriptively analyze the syntactic aspects of the Old English version of the Buckling Homilies. Written in two hands in Old English, only a single manuscript exists today. Consisting of nineteen sermons that appear to be occasional pieces, corresponding to certain Sundays and Saints` days in the liturgical calendar, the style of the Buckling Homilies is "more popular than learned" because of the "less homogenous audience being addressed." The main concerns of this paper are focused on the description of syntactic structures, such as NP, VP, and PP, and some syntactic aspects are also discussed on passive, tense, extrapositon, etc.

This work aims to propose synchronic head-initial solutions for the two major puzzles of Old English pre-modal constructions, that is, the coexistence of lexical and modal interpretation and complicated ordering patterns. Concerning the dual nature of pre-modal verbs, it is argued that lexical- and modal-type pre-modal verbs have different thematic structures. A lexical-type pre-modal verb constitutes a two-place predicate and selects an external argument controlling the empty pronominal subject of an infinitival clausal complement. A modal-type pre-modal verb, on the other hand, lacks its own external argument and allows the subject of an infinitival clausal complement to undergo movement into a specifier of a higher T. Diverse ordering patterns of pre-modal verb complexes result from leftward operations. An infinitival main verb moves onto a complex of a finite pre-modal verb and a light verb v, as long as the operation is required for a verbal affixation. The complement of an infinitival main verb undergoes raising implemented by the EPP features of a light verb v. The head-initial analysis also provides an appropriate explanation for Old English causative and perception verbs with an infinitival complement.

The purpose of the paper is to investigate L2 learners` perception of contextual factors embedded into various situations, and the effect of perception on the use of strategies in the performance of the act of requests. To this end, a study was undertaken in which both Korean students of English and native speakers of English participated as subjects, and data were gathered via two differing methods. In the study, subjects were asked to read the description of each item of discourse completion test, and to write down what they would say in a given item. Right after completing each item, subjects were asked to assess three contextual factors (social power, familiarity, and degree of imposition) embedded into that item by answering three rating questions in terms of a four-point scale. The analysis of data indicated that in some situations two groups showed similarities while in other situations they differed in the perception of contextual factors. Also two groups differed greatly from each other in that learners tended to rely mainly on direct requests in most situations in which English native speakers preferred conventionally indirect requests with appropriate downgrading, which demonstrated that native speakers were far more polite than learners. In addition, EFL learners differed considerably from ESL learners in the use of request strategies and downgrading. The latter was more proficient than the former in employing conventionally indirect requests, and using downgrading for the expression of politeness. Finally, some teaching suggestions were provided for helping learners in an EFL context to promote their socio-pragmatic competence.
