Being polite and subordinate
Utterance Honorifics (UHs) are generally regarded as a main clause phenomenon as they reflect the speaker’s attitude towards the addressee/audience. UHs in Japanese present a challenging problem to this view, however, as it has been reported that they can be embedded under some circumstances (Miyagawa 2012; Yamada 2019 and references therein). In this paper, we closely examine the embedding patterns of the three UH markers in Japanese, the verbal…
Focus without pitch boost
Scalar Implicature, Hurford's Constraint, Contrastiveness and How They All Come Together
Disjunction with two scalar items, such as some or all of the books , has been regarded as evidence for the grammatical theory of scalar implicatures (e.g., Chierchia et al., 2012 ). Hurford's Constraint (Hurford, 1974 ) provides that disjuncts are banned from having an entailing relation, and to make such a disjunction comply with Hurford's Constraint, the meaning of some must be locally strengthened. Interestingly, however, the order of disjoin…
Japanese embedded questions are nominal
The exhaustivity of an embedded interrogative sentence can be altered by the presence of an adverb in the matrix clause. This phenomenon, known as Quantificational Variability Effect (QVE), manifests itself in a peculiar way in Japanese. A QVE-inducing adverb can take the form of a numeral classifier that agrees with the embedded Wh-phrase. While a QVE-inducing numeral classifier appears to be associated with an embedded wh-phrase, it is not clea…

Information structure as information-based partition
While the term Information Structure (IS) is most naturally interpreted as ‘structure of information’, some may argue that it is structure of something else, and others may object to the use of the word ‘structure’. This paper focuses on the question of whether the informational component can have structural properties such that it can be called ‘structure’. The preliminary conclusion is that, although there are some vague indications of structur…
