THE N <i>AFTER</i> N CONSTRUCTION:A CONSTRUCTIONAL IDIOM

MATSUYAMA TETSUYA

EL ( The English Linguistic Society of Japan )  Vol. 21: No.1 p.55-84, ( 1 ) 55 - 84   2004  [Refereed]

　View Summary

This article suggests an analysis of the N <i>after</i> N construction, exemplified by <i>question after question</i>, along the lines of the tripartite parallel theory advanced by Jackendoff (1997, 2002). It will be observed that the construction manifests a syntax-semantics mismatch: a singular noun in syntax but a bare plural noun in semantics. This mismatch is argued to be due to a correspondence rule that associates syntactically subordinate structure with semantically coordinate structure. It will be also shown that the analysis is applicable to the N <i>ni-tugu</i> N construction, the Japanese counterpart to the N <i>after</i> N construction.

Subject-Because Construction and the Extended Projection Principle

Tetsuya Matsuyama

English Linguistics   18 ( 2 ) 329 - 355   2001  [Refereed]

　View Summary

This paper aims to clarify in terms of the minimalist program the structure of a particular construction to be termed the subject-because construction, exemplified by just because I'm here now doesn't mean that I didn't go. It will be argued that the construction involves not only the subject-because merged in [Spec, T] but also a null subject in [Spec, v] whose ϕ-features delete the uninterpretable ϕ-features of T. This analysis accounts for the absence of subject-verb agreement for the subject-because, its (non)-occurrence in (non)-Case-marking positions, and its failure to agree with emphatic reflexives as well as pronominal subjects in tag-clauses. © 2001, The English Linguistic Society of Japan.

Transparency in Bare Infinitive Complements in English and Overt Feature Movement

Tetsuya Matsuyama

English Linguistics   16 ( 2 ) 405 - 435   1999  [Refereed]

　View Summary

This paper considers in the framework of the minimalist program (Chomsky (1995)) a key problem in syntax — the question of what kinds of theoretical devices should account for the frequently observed phenomena in natural language in which infinitival complements display transparency for typically clause-bounded processes. The particular case we look closely at is transparency in BI (Bare Infinitive) complements in English, which is evidenced by the non-clause-boundedness of otherwise clause-bounded phenomena such as Pseudogapping, HNPS (Heavy NP Shift), and scope interpretation of negative quantifiers. The transparency will be analyzed as deriving from overt incorporation of Tense feature and other formal features of the verb of the BI complement to the matrix verb. A theoretical importance of this analysis is that it employs the set of formal features independently necessary to account for V-to-T movement in finite clauses, and therefore it does not lead to proliferation of formal features. © 1999, The English Linguistic Society of Japan.
