Focusing on manner adverbs and resultative predicates in Japanese because they have the same particles -ni or -ku, I will present several pieces of evidence that these two kinds of phrases are of the same syntactic category but should be given different treatments. As a proposal, I argue that, although in Japanese, resultative predicates are syntactic adjuncts, both manner adverbs and resultative predicates are headed by functional projections that take adjectival phrases in their complements and are responsible for the result meaning. I further claim that particles of Japanese resultative predicates are realizations of the functional projection, while adverbial categorizers in the sense of Distributed Morphology are realized as the particles of manner adverbs. It will also be shown that the functional projection is obligatorily realized as -ni or -ku, but this restriction is not imposed on the adverbial categorizer, which undergoes various realizations. The differences between these two phrases can be accounted for by assuming different syntactic structures for these phrases, leading to the conclusion that functional projections are necessary with respect to resultative predicates in Japanese.}, pages = {1--19}, title = {On the Necessity of Functional Projections for Resultative Predicates : A View from the Japanese Language}, volume = {114}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ヤマグチ, マサシ} }
