 note = {論文, ARTICLE, This paper explores a theoretical account for depictive constructions in Japanese. Some previous analyses claim that depictive predicates in Japanese and their semantic DPs form a constituent, based on ellipsis phenomena. However, this paper provides several pieces of evidence showing that Japanese depictive predicates are independent of their semantic subjects. Therefore, an independent analysis should be applied to depictive constructions in Japanese. This paper argues that adjunction sites of depictive predicates are different, depending on the types of the predicates; object-oriented depictive predicates are adjoined to VP, and subject-oriented depictive predicates are either to vP or to TP. With this proposal, this paper demonstrates that all of the syntactic properties of depictive constructions can be accounted for, showing the plausibility of an independent constituent analysis of depictive constructions.},
