| Research Abstract |
In this research project, I first investigated so-called long distance reflexives in Icelandic, where nominative objects are observed and I claimed that a functional category T is related to the licensing mechanism of long distance reflexives which agree with nominative subjects. Then I scrutinized syntactic structures of complex predicate constructions in Japanese, where nominative objects are observed and I argued that the Case of the nominative object is licensed by T, which licenses the Case of the nominative subject. Therefore, I concluded that nominative Case is universally licensed by T and that languages like Icelandic and Japanese, unlike English, have a v which does not license Case but has an external argument and this syntactic object enables T to license nominative Case of the object.
