Abstract:

Studies of Japanese syntax have played a central role in the long history of
Japanese linguistics spanning more than 250 years in Japan and abroad. More
recently, Japanese has been among the languages most intensely studied within
modern linguistic theories such as Generative Grammar and Cognitive/Functional
Linguistics over the past fifty years. This volume presents a comprehensive
survey of Japanese syntax from these three research strands, namely studies
based on the traditional research methods developed in Japan, those from
broader functional perspectives, and those couched in the generative
linguistics framework.

The twenty-four studies contained in this volume are characterized by a
detailed analysis of a grammatical phenomenon with broader implications to
general linguistics, making the volume attractive to both specialists of
Japanese and those interested in learning about the impact of Japanese syntax
to the general study of language. Each chapter is authored by a leading
authority on the topic. Broad issues covered include sentence types
(declarative, imperative, etc.) and their interactions with grammatical verbal
categories (modality, polarity, politeness, etc.), grammatical relations
(topic, subject, etc.), transitivity, nominalizations, grammaticalization,
word order (subject, scrambling, numeral quantifier, configurationality), case
marking (ga/no conversion, morphology and syntax), modification (adjectives,
relative clause), and structure and interpretation (modality, negation,
prosody, ellipsis).
