Outline of Final Research Achievements

Assume that each language has a nominal domain called XNP, which is the set of elements that are lexically or formally represented as noun phrases (Nakai 2013). The XNP domain could be subject to relatively little cross-linguistic variation, taking into account the linguistic universals. This study attempts to account for the way formal features of noun phrases are represented, showing the remarkable contrast between Japanese and English in terms of the way each noun-phrase form clips the features out of the XNP domain in the respective languages.
This study argues that Japanese noun phrases do have formal features of plainness and non-plainness, and noun phrases, such as proper nouns, pronouns, plural nouns, and nouns accompanied by any determiner/numeral, are non-plain noun phrases. The study also illustrates how the formal features of noun phrases interact with the interpretation semantically and pragmatically.
