| Research Abstract |
This study proposes that in Japanese the classifier obligatorily takes a numeral complement, not an NP complement, to form a constituent(i. e.,[^<ClP>(Spec)[[ NUMERAL] CLASSIFIER]]), severing it self and the numeral from the rest of DP(i. e.,[^<DP>[^<NumP>[^<NP> N] Num] D]). Numerical specification is then implemented by a ClP's adjunction to one of the nominal extended projections, namely NP, NumP, and DP. The present hypothesis, we argue, explains a number of facts.
