Abstract:

This book offers an analysis of the Japanese DP in line with the
cartographic research program. It addresses theoretical linguists
interested in nominal modification as well as scholars in the field of
Japanese studies. The main results concern the identification of three
domains, a DP-external domain, a domain for indirect modifiers and a
domain for direct modifiers, with specific discussion on the latter
two, and an account for the internal structure of nominal modifiers.
On the one hand, this book highlights the applicability of the
cartographic program to languages outside the Indo-European cosmos. At
the same time, it offers a re-evaluation of many previously made
assumptions based on the Japanese data, eventually allowing for
refinements of these assumptions and a better understanding of the DP
in cross-linguistic perspective.
