| Research Abstract |
This project aimed to contribute to the research on the left/right periphery based on the analysis of Japanese. The language allows relatively free variation in word order and is rich in complementizers. It therefore offers evidence that is not observed in most other languages. Through this project, we succeeded in collecting new pieces of evidence for the structure of the left/right periphery proposed on the basis of research on Italian and Spanish, and provided support for the universality of the structure. For the noun phrase structure, we conducted a detailed comparative study of Japanese and Chinese as the two languages have rich classifier systems and lack number morphology. It was demonstrated that the main differences between them follow from the head parameter.
