| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study proposed to identify the observed syntactic differences between English and Japanese, two typologically distinct languages, as consequences of the presence of unvalued features, not from the presence (or absence) of feature agreement. Specifically, it investigated the structure-building operation Merge, the labeling algorithm, the unvalued features, and how these three factors interact to generate syntactic structures. In particular, it clarified the crucial roles of unvalued features concerning how syntactic structures formed by Internal Merge get labeled in English and in Japanese.
