Studies of Japanese syntax have played a central role in the long
history of Japanese linguistics spanning more than 250 years in
Japan and abroad. More recently, Japanese has been among the
languages most intensely studied within modern linguistic theories
such as Generative Grammar and Cognitive/Functional Linguistics
over the past fifty years. This volume presents a comprehensive
survey of Japanese syntax from these three research strands, namely
studies based on the traditional research methods developed in
Japan, those from broader functional perspectives, and those
couched in the generative linguistics framework. The twenty-four
studies contained in this volume are characterized by a detailed
analysis of a grammatical phenomenon with broader implications to
general linguistics, making the volume attractive to both
specialists of Japanese and those interested in learning about the
impact of Japanese syntax to the general study of language. Each
chapter is authored by a leading authority on the topic. Broad
issues covered include sentence types (declarative, imperative,
etc.) and their interactions with grammatical verbal categories
(modality, polarity, politeness, etc.), grammatical relations
(topic, subject, etc.), transitivity, nominalizations,
grammaticalization, word order (subject, scrambling, numeral
quantifier, configurationality), case marking (ga/no conversion,
morphology and syntax), modification (adjectives, relative clause),
and structure and interpretation (modality, negation, prosody,
ellipsis). Chapter titles Introduction Chapter 1. Basic structures
