In Modularity in Language, Etsuyo Yuasa investigates exceptions and
idiosyncrasies in various complex clauses in Japanese and English
within the framework of multi-modular approaches to grammar. She
proposes original analyses of various complex clauses in Japanese
and English, which deviate from the norms of other complex clauses
in the same language or in other languages, and shows how these
cases of syntax-semantics mismatch justify the independence (or
'autonomy') of different levels of grammatical structures. Yuasa's
significant contribution is the incorporation of the notion of
'construction' from Construction Grammar into multi-modular
approaches to grammar. She claims that the idiosyncratic cases
examined in this study are instances of constructional and
categorial mismatches where a syntactic representation of a
prototypical construction is paired with a semantic representation
of another prototypical construction. Modularity in Language is
aimed at those interested in grammatical theories in general, the
parallel architecture of grammar (including Lexical-Functional
Grammar, Autolexical Grammar, Representational Modularity),
Constructional Grammar, syntax/semantics interface, and Japanese
linguistics.
