Abstract The present article is concerned with two important observations about argument ellipsis. One is that it may apply to arguments that do not enter into agreement relationship with functional categories but not to those that do; the other is that extraction out of elided arguments is possible in Japanese. In order to account for these properties, I adopt the theory of derivational ellipsis, according to which elliptic constituents are marked as such as early as in the syntactic component, and the hypothesis that v, V, and an internal argument can be combined in different ways in different languages. The proposed analysis does not only account for the relevant facts about argument ellipsis in Japanese, but also extends to other languages that exhibit slightly different behaviors with regard to null arguments.

推导参数省略号

摘要本文涉及有关论点省略号的两个重要观察。其一是它可能适用于未与功能类别达成协议关系的论点，但不适用于与功能类别达成一致关系的论点；另一个是日语中可以从省略的论点中提取出来。为了考虑这些性质，我采用了派生椭圆理论，根据该理论，椭圆成分在语法成分中被标记为诸如此类，并且v，V和内部自变量可以在不同的位置组合的假设不同语言的方式。所提出的分析不仅考虑了日语中论据省略号的相关事实，而且还扩展到了其他对空论据表现出稍有不同的行为的语言。
