| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Japanese V-V compounds have so far received dual analyses: one approach, mainly advocated in traditional Japanese linguistics, claims that the second element of a V-V compound, if grammaticalized, is an affix or an auxiliary verb, while the other one, mainly advocated in generative linguistics, claims that it is always a main verb. With this background, we have provided several generative-linguistic arguments showing that such a lexeme is a functional category located somewhere in the universal functional hierarchy.
The research leader also established a research unit named "Language Change and Language Variation Research Unit" in 2013 as a forum for the collaboration between theoretical linguists and corpus linguists. And in its activities, we have elucidated a syntactic mechanism of how diachronic grammaticalization and/or constructionalization proceed from adjective to preposition, from adverb to aspectual functional categories, from N-N compounds to noun phrases, and so on.
