Outline of Final Research Achievements

The current study clarified the syntactic and semantic properties of logical connectives, in particular disjunction in Japanese. We reported that Japanese disjunction exhibits rescuing effects, based on data from the Kumamoto Hichiku dialect, which allows two types of nominative subject: one in vP and the other in TP. This finding shows that Japanese disjunction is a positive polarity item, and no syntactic movement plays any crucial role in determining its scope domain. We also investigated the function of the Focus feature in Agree operation, examining the relationship between focus and ellipsis, and showed that the complex of the Focus feature and the (genitive) Case feature activates the Ellipsis feature. Likewise, the complex of the Focus feature and the potential suffix licenses nominative object.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

言語と思考の関係を解明する手掛かりとして、自然言語の論理接続詞の特性を明らかにすることは有意義である。よって本課題において、日本語の選言接続詞の特性(救出効果)を明らかにしたことは、言語と思考の関係を明らかにする上で重要な貢献になる。また、選言接続詞の作用域がその意味的な性質によって決定されるのであれば、他の量化詞等についても更なる検討が必要であることを意味する。
さらに、統語構造構築の段階で素性の複合体によって統語操作が牽引されうることを示したことは、特にAgree操作における(形式)素性の役割を解明する手掛かりとなり、統語理論の発展に大きく貢献するものである。
