Papers from the Second International Workshop on Japanese Syntax

This volume contains papers presented at the Second International Workshop on Japanese Syntax, held in 1986 at Stanford University. In these papers, the topic of syntax is broadly construed as covering discourse phenomena and the interface between morphology and syntax. Particular emphasis was on discourse phenomena, to which are devoted approximately one third of the papers presented in the present work. The papers contained in this volume are: Subcategorization and Word Order by Takao Gunji; Discourse Factors In the Binding of Zibun by Masayo lida and Peter Sells; Japanese Zero Pronominal Binding: Where Syntax and Discourse Meet by Meumi Kameyama; Blended Quasi-Direct Discourse In Japanese by Susumu Kuno; Whether We Agree or Not: A Comparative Syntax of English and Japanese by Shie-Yukl Kuroda; Case Deletion and Discourse Context by Kiyoko Masunaga; Predication and Numeral Quantifier by Shieru Miyagawa; Readjustment and Compound Formation by Masayoshi Shibatani and Taro Kaeyama.The Stanford workshop was the second in a series of three on Japanese syntax.
