| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
TThis study has made the following claims about deletion as one of the elementary syntactic operations in natural languages. First, instances of deletion in which the deleted constituent and its antecedent must appear in the same sentence are subject to the phase-impenetrability condition. Second, where there are two or more elements that can undergo movement/deletion and are in a containment relation, movement chooses the movement of the smaller/smallest element and deletion chooses deletion of the larger/largest element. Third, this difference between movement and deletion in choice of the target of their applications should be attributed to a general economy condition that minimizes the representations at LF and PF outputs. In addition, this study has examined the structures and the derivations of the focus-doubling construction in Japanese, multi-phrasal predicateless utterances in Japanese, and clauses headed by location ‘where’ in English, all of which involve deletion.
