Overview

This analysis reveals new insights into the structure of psychological adverbs in Japanese, suggesting implications for syntax theory.

Key Points

  • The proposed structure simplifies the analysis of psychological adverbs in Japanese.
  • Experiencer PPs are argued to be adjoined to VP, not included in the syntactic structure of PAs.
  • This new approach addresses empirical and theoretical problems present in prior analyses.
  • The analysis effectively accounts for various syntactic properties unique to psychological adverbs in Japanese.
