This article presents an argument that Japanese (and Korean) has a previously unattested type of external‐possession constructions (EPCs) (Payne & Barshi 1999): EPC with a backward‐control structure (Polinsky & Potsdam 2002). It has been attested in the literature that there are EPCs that have forward‐raising structures, backward‐raising structures, and forward‐control structures. Only the backward‐control type has not been attested. Thus, if the argument in this article is correct, the relevant construction fills in the missing piece of the typology of EPCs. This adds plausibility to the Movement Theory of Control (Hornstein 1999) and the Copy Theory of Movement (Chomsky 1995) because this typology is expected under these theories. Furthermore, I argue that Nunes's (1995) mechanism of copy deletion (chain reduction, in his terms) can explain why the pronounce‐the‐original‐copy strategy is available in backward‐control EPCs.

拥有者的向后控制

本文提出了一个论点，即日语（和韩语）具有以前未经证实的外部占有构造（EPC）类型（Payne＆Barshi 1999）：具有反向控制结构的EPC（Polinsky＆Potsdam 2002）。文献已经证明，有些EPC具有前向上升结构，后向上升结构和前向控制结构。尚未证明只有向后控制类型。因此，如果本文中的论点是正确的，则相关构造将填补EPC类型学中缺失的部分。这为控制运动理论（Hornstein 1999）和运动复制理论（Chomsky 1995）增添了合理性。），因为这种类型是这些理论所期望的。此外，我认为，Nunes（1995）的复制删除机制（用他的术语来说，链式减少）可以解释为什么原语复制策略在反向控制的EPC中可用。
