Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the interplay between syntax, case marking, and argument structure, this collection features new and revised analyses by Miyagawa. Key topics include numeral quantifier stranding, ditransitive constructions, and the nominative/genitive alternation. The work also presents a syntactic analysis of lexical and syntactic causatives, alongside historical changes in accusative case marking from Old to Modern Japanese. Each analysis highlights the close relationship among case marking, argument structure, and word order.
