Abstract:

This monograph explores the grammar of modifier PPs in Japanese, concentrating
on their word order. The study argues that (i) modifier PPs are hierarchically
arranged and (ii) there is an interesting fine-grained correlation between
different PP types and Modal/Aspect functors which indicates that Temporal and
Locative appear relatively freely with respect to a certain range of the
Modal/Aspect functors in the middle field, whereas the rest of the PP types
are more constrained in this respect. Unlike cartographic approaches to PPs
(Schweikert 2005, Cinque 2006), the book adopts the working hypothesis that
the fine-grained hierarchies can be derived in a constrained manner along the
lines of Svenonius and Ramchand (2014) and proposes that the properties of the
PPs characterized by (i) and (ii) can be captured in a sortal domain analysis.
The book appeals to a linguistic audience interested in modifier syntax as
well as in Japanese.
