| Research Abstract |
Based on an extensive survey of Old Japanese (OJ) corpus, this study has examined the distribution of case particles and personal pronouns and the order of arguments in transitive clauses. From a typological perspective, OJ has the morphological and syntactic characteristics of active languages. I have proposed a formal analysis of the historical change from active alignment to accusative alignment. This study has also examined the pronominal system in OJ through early Modern Japanese, providing a formal analysis of changes in the pronominal system during the course of the history of Japanese. I argue that this shift involves what is known as degrammaticalization.
