영문 초록

Japanese has two different types of NPIs: MO-NPIs and SLKA NPIs. These two types show different morphological and syntactic behavior. especially when they interact with wh-phrases and quantifiers. There have been a few attempts (Takahashi (1990) and Aoyagi and Ishii(1994)) to capture these differences on the basis of the purely syntactic viewpoint. However, such a purely syntactic based analysis suffers from several empirical as well as theoretical problems. This paper provides an alternative approach that places an emphasis on the semantic and pragmatic factors of the constructions involved.
