Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to clarify the Labeling Theory advocated by Chomsky (2013, 2015) by elaborating on (i) how non-nominals and non-nominatives located in the canonical subject position undergo agreement with the functional head T and (ii) how nominal subjects and nominatives remaining within the VP-domain undergo agreement with the functional head T despite their distant relation. Regarding (i), it argued that the relevant elements are subject to agreement of topic feature or partial agreement of phi-features.As for (ii), it concluded that the c-commanding relation suffices to agreement between the two distant elements provided that they are accommodated in the same phase domain.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

標準的な主語位置に現れる要素は機能主要部Tとagreementが必須であるとされているにも関わらず、英語の倒置構文や日本語等の与格主語構文については、この点に関して深い議論がなされていなかった。また、これらの構文は、以前は盛んに議論されていたものの、近年は研究の対象から外され、以前ほど着目されなくなっていたのも事実である。本研究は、そのような構文に再度、焦点を当てた上で、agreementを中心にラベル付け理論の精緻化を行ったものである。本研究の成果は、統語論研究、特にラベル付け理論を用いた今後の生成統語論研究の発展に一定の寄与ができるはずである。
