"text": "In a derivational theory of syntax, problems of choice arise when there are two or more potentially possible steps at a single stage of a derivation. Chomsky (1995 Chomsky ( , 2000 proposes that, if Attract/Move and Merge are both potentially possible, Merge is chosen (Merge-over-Move). It has also been proposed in the literature that, when there are two or more elements that can potentially be moved, the element closer to the target than the other(s) is moved (Attract/Move the Closest). Discussing multiple nominative constructions in Japanese, I argue that the set of principles of this kind contains a principle that minimizes the size of moved elements, and show a new piece of evidence for Merge-over-Move.",

The (alleged) evidence for its A'-status is provided by wh-phrase (Takahashi 1993) . The facts in (15, 16) can be explained by my claim that the NDP2 contains the trace of the NDP1, which is A-moved to [Spec, T] . Because short scrambling is A-movement, (15, 16a) involve A-movement of a remnant over an A-moved antecedent, which is predicted to be unacceptable. Since long-distance scrambling is A'-movement, (15, 16c) and (15, 16e) involve A'-movement of a remnant over an A-moved antecedent, which is predicted to be acceptable. The contrast in (15,16) thus supports the claim that the NDP1 is A-moved from within the NDP2.7",

"text": "Third, consider (19). A noun phrase (DP1) contained in a genitive possessor (DP2) cannot be coreferential with the entire possessed noun phrase (DP3, (19a) ). (19a) is acceptable when they are not coreferential. The ungrammaticality of (19a) under coindexation of DPI and DP3 can be explained by the i-within-i condition (Chomsky 1981: 212) , since the DP3 in (19a) contains the DP1. With this in mind, let us consider (19b), in which DP2 and DP3 in (19a) appear as the NDP1 and the NDP2 in the MNC1, respectively. In (19b) also, DP1 and DP3 cannot be coreferential. Let us now assume that the i-within-i condition is applied in the course of a derivation. The parallelism between (19a) and (19b) can be explained in terms of the i-within-i condition with recourse to my claim that the NDP1 in the MNC1 was contained in the NDP2 at early stages of the derivation. reconstruction facts. However, even under the assumption that short scrambling is A-movement, those facts can still be explained in the following ways: (i) the principles of the Binding Theory can be applied in the course of a derivation (Epstein et al. 1995) ; (ii) (short-)scrambling is covertly undone (Saito 1989) . For this reason, I can conclude that every instance of short-scrambling can be analyzed as A-movement, except those cases to be discussed in Note 7. 7 (15, 16a) become more acceptable if the NDP1 is focused and followed by a pause ((i, ii-a) ). This can be explained if a focused element is A'-moved to a left-peripheral position above TP (Rizzi 1997) , which, at present, lacks independent evidence but does not seem implausible. Incidentally, (15, 16a) are improved also by replacing the nominative marker on the NDP1 with the topic/contrast-marker wa ((i, ii-b) ). This can be expected if a topic or a contrasted element undergoes A'-movement. (i) a. TE-ga, Taro-ga naga-i (Cf. (15b)) b.",

"text": "Mabuta-wa(,) Taro-ga hare-ta (Cf. (16b)) 8 The discussion of (19) is important because it shows that, at the underlying structure, the NDP1 is dominated by the NDP2. As shown by (19a), a noun phrase in a genitive possessor induces an i-within-i violation if it is coindexed with the entire possessed noun phrase. Now let us consider (i). soon argue-against-do-PASS-PRES C claim the claim that the claim itself will soon be argued against' (i-a) involves a TP (or CP) embedded as a non-restrictive relative clause; (i-b), a CP embedded as the complement of an N (shuchoo `claim'). As is always the case with relative clauses, the empty noun phrase in the embedded clause in (i-a) can (only) be interpreted as coreferential with the entire noun phrase. On the other hand, in (i-b), the empty noun phrase in the embedded clause cannot be coreferential with the entire noun phrase. Reinterpreting and modifying Jackendoff's (1977) analysis of non-restrictive relative clauses under the DP-analysis, let us suppose that a non-restrictive relative clause is adjoined to DP ((ii)). Second, let us assume that a complement clause is merged as the complement of N ((iii)), although whether it overtly remains in that position is unclear. A genitive possessor of a DP can induce the honorific o-prefixation on the possessed noun as shown by (20a, b) (Harada 1976) . In (20a), the subject noun phrase contains the genitive possessor sensei-no 'the teacher's', whose referent is socially considered to be worthy of respect in Japan. The same is true of the object noun phrase in (20b). The o-prefixation is far from acceptable when the referent of the genitive possessor is not worthy of respect ((20c, d) ). This suggests that honorific o-prefixation is based on the Spec-head relation between a possessor and the D associated with the N to which the prefixation is applied. Let us consider more complex cases in (20e, f). In (20e), the subject noun phrase headed by kao 'face' contains the genitive possessor sensei-no 'the teacher's', which can potentially induce the o-prefixation ((20a, b)). However, in (20e), sensei-no is so deeply embedded that it cannot induce the o-prefixation on kao. On the other hand, in (20f), the possessor headed by sensei-no occupies the Spec of the D associated with kao and thus the o-prefixation can be applied",

A piece of evidence for this comes from the scope relation between the NDP2 and sentential negation. Negative sentences in Japanese are marked in most cases by the negative marker (a)na(k), which immediately follows a main/copular V or an A, and immediately precedes an adjectival tense-ending (-i 1-atta) . The relevant morpheme order is expected if the negative marker selects a VP or an AP, and heads a projection NegP selected by T ((i)). Suppose that, if A asymmetrically c-commands B, A takes scope over B in the salient reading. If the NDP2 is covertly moved to [Spec, T] , where it asymmetrically c-commands Neg, it is predicted that the NDP2 takes scope over negation in the predominant reading ((ii)).

"text": "[Tokyo-ga soo-da to] dare-mo omot-tei-nakat-ta Vno one thought that Tokyo is so.' Let us consider the derivation of the MNC2. Because the NDP2 is the (external) argument of the predicate, it is merged in the predicate-internal position ((30)). The NDP1 is formed by Merge independently of (30). After T is introduced, the EPP must be satisfied. There are two options that meet this requirement: (a) the movement of the NDP2, (which will be followed by the insertion of the NDP1) ((31a)) and (b) the insertion of the NDP1 ((31b)). The facts show that (b) is chosen ((27-29) I have shown that, in both the MNC1 and the MNC2, the NDP1 is in [Spec, T] and the NDP2 is predicate-internal. This structural asymmetry is attributed to the general tendency to minimize moved element (A/MS (23)), in the MNC1, and to Merge-over-Move principle, in the MNC2. I thus have argued that A/MS is one of the principles that choose among the possible derivational steps at a single stage of a derivation and also shown further evidence for the Merge-over-Move principle.",
