In this article, I demonstrate that antecedent‐contained deletion (ACD) exists in Japanese, thereby supporting the V‐stranding VP‐ellipsis analysis, and that the infinite regress resolution with such ACD cases must be made by overt movement. I suggest that this way of infinite regress resolution is a universal property, demonstrating that English ACD cases can be analyzed along these lines. I also argue that what seems like a case of Japanese ACD involves argument ellipsis, even though it violates the anti‐c‐command requirement, and that the apparent violation is resolved by adopting the late insertion of adjuncts and the derivational definition of c‐command.

日语中包含先行词的删除：支持 VP-Ellipsis 分析

在本文中，我证明了日语中存在先行包含删除（ACD），从而支持 V 链 VP 省略号分析，并且此类 ACD 情况的无限回归解析必须通过明显的运动来实现。我建议这种无限回归分辨率的方式是一种普遍属性，证明可以沿着这些路线分析英语 ACD 案例。我还认为，日本 ACD 的一个案例似乎涉及参数省略号，即使它违反了反 c 命令的要求，并且通过采用附加词的后期插入和 c 命令的派生定义来解决明显的违反.
