| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to elucidate the interaction between predicates, noun phrases, and temporal interpretations in Japanese. The specificity of Japanese noun phrases is determined by the lexical meanings of predicates. For example, the arguments of the predicate "akogareru" ("admire") are interpreted as nonspecific noun phrases, while the arguments of the predicate "hanashikakeru" ("talk") are interpreted as specific noun phrases. The most significant achievement of this study is that the semantic features of Japanese predicates are closely related to the tense interpretation of relative clause structures and embedded clauses.

日本語の名詞句の研究については、これまでコピュラ文（「AはBだ」のような文）や存在文（「Aがいる」のような文）といった特定の環境を問題にした分析がなされてきた。本研究は、先行研究の分析を発展させ、さまざまな語彙的意味を持つ述語を対象として名詞句の解釈との相関関係を体系化した点に意義がある。その結果、これまでに指摘のなかった、述語と埋め込み構造やその時制解釈に新たな分析の観点をもたらした点においても、学術的な貢献が認められると考える。
