Research Abstract

This project has attempted a minute investigation of various constructions in English. In particular, each investigator has focused on a relatively well-recognized construction and tried to explore its sub-constructions, examining theirnature in Contemporary English and their historical development, as well as their place in the typoligy of language. This being is a remote goal, the work is still on its way, but each investigator obtained the following results.
Nagahara has questioned the traditional binary division of relative clauses, proposing instead a tripartite classification : non-restrictive, restrictive, and complement relatives.
Koma has published an illuminating introductory book on the history of English, and contributes an article to this booklet which discusses the "that-trace effects" within the context of the history of English.
Yagi has arrived at a theory of focusing particles. The first article in tjis booklet is an exposition of this theory, focusing on even in English and sae in Japanese. The second article criticizes a movement theory of focusing particles.
Kono has published an article on Stripping, discussing its relevance to association with focus, as well as some other articles that deal with other constructions in connection with current linguistic theories.
Suzuki has published an article on case and split ergativity in connection with this project, but contributes to this booklet partof his Ph.D.dissertation submitted to the University of British Columbia.
Bowcher has published two articles that analyze radio sports commentating. Oneabout the institutionalized features of radio sports commentating, and the other is about its characteristic patterns of intonation.
