Abstract

Abstract It is challenging to make empirical arguments either for or against the existence of verb-raising in head-final languages like Japanese since word order facts are not informative in such languages unlike in head-initial languages such as English and French. This article aims to make a novel argument for the existence of verb-raising in Japanese, based on facts about VP-fronting.

日语动词提升与VP前置

在像日语这样的头尾语言中，由于词序事实不像在英语和法语这样的头尾语言中那样具有信息性，因此对支持或反对动词提升的存在进行实证论证是具有挑战性的。本文旨在从对副总统的正面称呼的事实出发，对日语中动词提升的存在提出一个新颖的论证。
