| Research Abstract |
The research focuses on the examination of the nature of the syntactic operation of adjunction that adjoins an adjunct to its host constituent and on the organization of the grammar that incorporates such an operation. In the literature, what is called "late adjunction" has been treated differently from regular syntactic operations. It is argued, however, that under the current linguistic theory (in terms of the notion of phase), the operation is in principle available, with its consequences severely constrained by other modes of the grammar such as Linearization and semantic interpretation. Applying late adjunction to the generation of the structures that involve referentially dependent noun phrases, it is shown that verb phrase domains (vPs) are made good use of in syntactic operations, lending support to the phase theory.
