Abstract

This paper is about the syntactic structure and interpretation of [i-] type auxiliary verb sentence in Japanese, especially, focused on the analysis method of the correlation between syntactic structure and interpretation. According to precedent studies, Japanese auxiliary-verb sentences are separated 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-] type sentences have a bi-clausal structure in the initial structure. However, in the surface structure, some [i-] type sentences have only a mono-clausal structure which is correlated with one interpretation, and some [i-] type sentences have a mono-structure and a bi-structure which are correlated with two interpretations. The above results on the correlation of structure and interpretation are proved by the scope phenomenon of the [dake-nai]. In other words, this study shows the fact that the scope phenomenon of [dake-nai] is valid for the analysis method of correlation between interpretation and syntactic structure in Japanese.
