Head-Internal Relatives in Japanese as Rich Context-Setters
نویسنده
چکیده
Head-Internal Relatives (HIRs) in Japanese are regarded as rich context-setters within Dynamic Syntax (DS): the propositional tree of the HIR clause is mapped onto a ‘partial’ tree, which establishes a rich context for the embedding clause to be parsed. This partial tree contains a situation node decorated with the Relevancy restriction and a node for an internal head. This account handles some new data and makes a novel prediction. Further, it is shown that the past DS analysis of HIRs in fact models change relatives (but not HIRs).

An E-type analysis of tokoro-relatives
This paper claims that tokoro-relatives in Japanese should be analyzed as involving an E-type pronoun, rather than backward control or movement. The arguments come from (i) quantifier scope, (ii) the maximality effect , (iii) negative quantifiers, (iv) split antecedents, and (v) tokoro-relative clauses without an explicit head. It also proposes a compositional semantic analysis of the tokoro-re...
متن کاملWord Order Doesn’t Matter: Relative Clause Production in English and Japanese
Comparatively little is known about how semantic properties (such as animacy) and syntactic properties (such as word order) affect production of complex sentences. Relative clauses were elicited using a picture description task that manipulated head noun animacy in both English (which has head-first relative clauses and Japanese (head-final relative clauses). Participants of both languages prod...
متن کاملThe Syntax of Appositive Relativization
Appositive relative clauses differ in some essential respects from restrictives. I argue that appositive relatives and appositions can be put together as a third class of coordination denoting specification. Thus, an appositive is a specifying conjunct to the visible antecedent. It is a semi-free relative with a pronominal head that is normally empty. Therefore, its internal syntax is equivalen...
متن کاملScrutinizing of a Liquid Prebiotic on Growth Performance and Internal Organs of Japanese Quail
An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the effects of a liquid prebiotic (LP) on the carcass, digestive tract, and productive traits of Japanese quail. Eighty 7-day-old Japanese quails were randomly divided into 2 treatments. Each treatment consisted of 4 replicates (pens) of 10 birds each. The first treatment (control) contained a standard recommended diet with no added prebiotic. The se...
متن کاملEffects of Silymarin on Growth Performance, Internal Organs and Some Blood Parameters in Japanese Quail Subjected to Oxidative Stress Induced by Carbon Tetrachloride
The effects of Silymarin on growth performance, internal organs, and some blood parameters were investigated in Japanese quail that were subjected to oxidative stress induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). An experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement (2 × 2) with four replicates of 30 birds each. Factors included two levels of Silymarin (0 and 1 mL/k...
