Outline of Final Research Achievements

Within the Minimalist framework, syntactic and semantics properties are investigated across various nominal elements - pronouns, proper nouns and common nouns - from cross-linguistic perspective. Firstly, syntactic similarities and differences are pointed out among these three types of nominal elements. It is argued that the differences lie in their phonetic realization, despite the fact that they do have uniform syntactic structures. Secondly, coherent syntactic patterns are identified in less investigated phenomena, including subject-verb agreement in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) and number mismatch found in certain nominal predicates in standard English.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は以下の通りである。主語‐述語の一致現象に対する分析を通じて(i)名詞句内部構造と節構造の接続様式という理論的問題に対する一つの知見を提供し、(ii)項名詞句と述部名詞句の相違の一側面を指摘した。また、国際言語としての英語への関心が高まるなか、非標準英語(AAVE)が示す規則性と標準英語が持つ特異性を示すことで、英語の多様性への理解を促進するという点で社会的意義を持つ。
