This book is a collection of articles on Japanese grammars written
in a framework broadly construed as constraint-based. Having
evolved from a progress report on the Japanese phrase structure
grammar (JPSG) project, it implements ideas from recent
developments in phrase structure grammar formalism, such as
head-drive phrase structure grammar (HPSG). Part I gives an
overview of JPSG, introducing fundamental assumptions and
discussing mostly syntactic and semantic aspects of Japanese in the
constraint-based formalism, as well as the implementation of a
parser based on the grammar. The papers in Part II discuss mostly
pragmatic aspects of Japanese. Innovative concepts are introduced
in Part I, such as the concept of cost, which plays a central role
both in the treatment of quantifiers and phonology, and is used
extensively in the treatment of conditionals in Part II. Stress is
also placed on the role of discourse participants; the analysis of
relativization adopted in Part I is partly based on zero
pronominals, whose interpretation is left to pragmatics. This issue
is further pursued in Part II and may serve as one possible avenue
to explore pragmatics.
