일본어 イ형 보조동사문의 통사구조에 대한 의미해석 방법

This paper is about the syntactic structure and interpretation of [i-] typeauxiliary verb sentence in Japanese, especially, focused on the analysis methodof the correlation between syntactic structure and interpretation. According to precedent studies, Japanese auxiliary-verb sentences areseparated into two types. One is [i-] type, the other is [te-] type. In this paper,we have explained the structure of [i-] type sentences, first. All [i-] typesentences have a bi-clausal structure in the initial structure. However, in thesurface structure, some [i-] type sentences have only a mono-clausal structurewhich is correlated with one interpretation, and some [i-] type sentences have amono-structure and a bi-structure which are correlated with two interpretations. The above results on the correlation of structure and interpretation areproved by the scope phenomenon of the [dake-nai]. In other words, this studyshows the fact that the scope phenomenon of [dake-nai] is valid for theanalysis method of correlation between interpretation and syntactic structure inJapanese.
