The simple fact of the matter is that any and every finite sentence in Japanese, for example, must make a choice on the matter. Some of the salient features of EDs are that they seem to be pragmatically-based, deitic, and features may apply recursively, e.g., so-called Subject Honorification ('sonkei-go'), where an honorific Verb stem ('renyoukei'), can be resubmitted to the paradigm: "o-V-Stem-ni naru", e.g., 'o-nasari-ni naru' ('to do' Honorific). While Japanese has the reputation of being a polite language, it can be as equally frank and brutal as English is with "infixed F-ings". As an example consider the suffix '-agaru' ('to rise'). An important concept in Japanese levels is the direction, either up or down. When attached to a V-Stem, the effect is "you down there, what are you trying to do to me way up here", e.g. "o-mae-wa nani ii-agatten da yo?" (What the F- are you talking about?!). Here the verb stem of 'iu' ('to say') is suffixed. In my mind, a significant lacuna in the DM literature is the non-response to Sells (1995), where in he adopts "The Strong Lexicalist Hypothesis", using the Lexicon for both inflectional and derivational attachment prior to syntax. I've come to believe that without an approach to EDs, there unfortunately can be no response. Any ideas, comments, critiques appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.
