Generative grammatical studies in the Japanese language

TL;DR: In this paper, Hoji et al. presented empirical data that does not support such a characterization, obtained from two experimental studies designed to diagnose the presence of hidden syntactic structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the varied uses of wh-words in Chuj, an understudied Mayan language of Guatemala, and found that they are commonly used not only for question formation but also in a range of other constructions, including wh-quantification, indefinites, and the formation of relative clauses.

TL;DR: In many unrelated languages, the same anaphor is either subject to Condition A of the binding theory, or exempt from it but with specific interpretive properties as mentioned in this paper, on the basis of French data and cr...

TL;DR: This paper challenges Bale (2007) and Smith & Yu (2021) by showing that the Kratzer (1996) model accurately predicts readings of "again" for English and Japanese, contrary to their claims, and demonstrates that unergatives and stative transitives allow subjectless readings with appropriate context.

TL;DR: This paper developed a geometric representation of morphosyntactic features which provides a principled explanation for the observed restrictions on these paradigms, such as reference, plurality, and taxonomy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a particular proposal about the nature of agreement processes and the syntax of its output, and demonstrate that their proposals not only advance the overall understanding of agreement, but also contribute to a clearer and simpler view of a number of specific syntactic phenomena.

TL;DR: This work explains Morphosyntactic Competition, the Structure of DPs, and the Natures of Nonconfigurationality in Modern Transformational Syntax, as well as investigating the role of rhetoric in the development of knowledge representation.

TL;DR: In this article, the Spontaneous Logicality of Language is discussed and Scalar Implicatures at the Interface between Pragmatics and Syntax are discussed. But they do not discuss the relationship between the two.
