Attribution and Clausal Nominalization in Japanese available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Japanese employs different strategies for expressing relative clauses and complement clauses. The relative clause constructions are generally described as Externally Headed Relative Clauses (EHRCs), which are the closest analogue to English relative clauses, and Headless Relative Clauses (HRCs) (also called Internally Headed Relative Clauses) which have no analogue in English. The Complement Clauses (COMPCs) constructions all involve an embedded clause followed by either an abstract nominal such as 'koto' or the particle 'no'. There is also the 'no da' construction, which, like the HRC construction, has no analogue in English. There is disagreement in the literature as to the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of these clausal constructions. Additionally, the status and use of the particle 'no' across the different constructions it occurs in is highly contentious. This study examines the nature of these clausal constructions and demonstrates that they are all nominalizations, and that the particle 'no' is a nominalization marker that is required when the fact of nominalization is ambiguous. It also argues that the underlying semantics of 'koto' and 'mono', and the fact of nominalization marked by 'no', account for their pragmatic differences, and align with the notions of experiential judgements, which are based on a speaker's analysis of a given event, and perceptual judgements, which lack the speaker's analysis and instead present the event as directly witnessed by the speaker. Specifically, 'koto' COMPCs align with experiential judgement, while 'no' COMPCs and the 'no da' construction align with perceptual judgement.

Download and read online ebook The Syntax of Relative Clauses write by Guglielmo Cinque. This book was released on 2020-09-24. The Syntax of Relative Clauses available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Relative clauses play a hugely important role in analysing the structure of sentences. This book provides the first evidence that a unified analysis of the different types of relative clauses is possible - a step forward in our understanding. Using careful analyses of a wide range of languages, Cinque argues that the relative clause types can all be derived from a single, double-headed, structure. He also presents evidence that restrictive, maximalizing, ('integrated') non-restrictive, kind-defining, infinitival and participial RCs merge at different heights of the nominal extended projection. This book provides an elegant generalization about the structure of all relatives. Theoretically profound and empirically rich, it promises to radically alter the way we think about this subject for years to come.
