The study argues that (i) modifier PPs are hierarchically arranged and (ii) there is an interesting fine-grained correlation between different PP types and Modal/Aspect functors which indicates that Temporal and Locative appear relatively freely with respect to a certain range of the Modal/Aspect functors in the middle field, whereas the rest of the PP types are more constrained in this respect. Unlike cartographic approaches to PPs (Schweikert 2005, Cinque 2006), the book adopts the working hypothesis that the fine-grained hierarchies can be derived in a constrained manner along the lines of Svenonius and Ramchand (2014) and proposes that the properties of the PPs characterized by (i) and (ii) can be captured in a sortal domain analysis. The book appeals to a linguistic audience interested in modifier syntax as well as in Japanese.Linguistik aktuell ;Volume 240.Japanese languageSyntaxJapanese languageWord orderJapanese languageGrammarJapanese languageSyntax.Japanese languageWord order.Japanese languageGrammar.495.65Takamine Kaori1696849MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815259103321Putting adpositions in place4077118UNINA
