Phrase Structure in Minimalist Syntax

Abstract: This thesis is a study of clause architecture within a theory of generative grammar. It discusses four major syntactic hypotheses that have crucial bearing on the design of phrase structure: the Agreement-based Case theory, the internal subject hypothesis (ISH), the uniform three-level X-bar theory, and a hypothesis about string vacuous head movement.In Chapter 2 through Chapter 4, I discuss object positions in three typologically and genetically different languages, i.e. English, Zarma, and Japanese, and argu… Show more

“…Again, there is a very simple analysis in a derivational approach. As has been observed by Kitahara (1994;, Fox (1995), Koizumi (1995), Müller (1998), and others, Müller-Takano generalization effects follow from the Minimal Link Condition. Here is why: Suppose that movement of of XP 2 and XP 1 is triggered by the same movement-related feature.…”

“…Following Chomsky (1995), Koizumi (1995), and Ura (1996), we assume that multiple specifier positions of a single head are allowed as one aspect of parametric variation, and Japanese T is such a case. That is, the nominative Case of T has the ability to check off two (or more) nominative Cases, and two (or more) specifier positions are created in TP in Japanese as in (8).…”

“…1 We call the former type of verbs non-stative verbs and the latter type stative verbs (e.g. Kuno, 1973;Saito, 1982;Shibatani, 1990;Tateishi, 1991;Mihara, 1994;Koizumi, 1995;Ura, 1996;Takezawa and Whitman, 1998). 2 Note that this division is a syntactic one so that it can play an important role with respect to object case-marking in Japanese.…”

“…Cf. Koizumi (1995) for an analysis of this fact based on the Minimal Link Condition.(i) *Which books did Becky say that to Aaron she will give? Lasnik and Saito's (1992) assumption that an embedded topic is not a barrier for wh-movement, the unacceptability of (19) can be clearly predicted.…”

“…the embedded VP and the complement TP. However, such movements are strictly prohibited by the Bounding Theory.18 As in Lasnik and Saito (1991) and Koizumi (1995), we assume that the Topic clause in (22d) moves overtly to the matrix AgroP-Spec (i.e. TrP-Spec).…”
