Linguists who work on the Japanese language have disagreed about
the notion of subject with respect to Japanese. Many linguists
argue that there is no formal syntactic position for the subject in
Japanese. Tateishi does deeper research on the surface syntax of
the subject, and looks in particular at the syntax of the subject
and phenomena which have been treated as S-adjunctions. Tateishi's
main claim is that despite all the non-configurational
characteristics found in the language, Japanese is in a sense more
configurational than the so-called configurational languages.
Japanese allows more types of hierarchies to be involved in the
subject-predicate relation than English allows, as Japanese does
not have the same kind of restrictions on the phrase structure as
the configurational languages.
