Research Abstract
The current study clarified the syntactic and semantic properties of logical connectives, in particular disjunction in Japanese. We reported that Japanese disjunction exhibits rescuing effects, based on data from the Kumamoto Hichiku dialect, which allows two types of nominative subject: one in vP and the other in TP. This finding shows that Japanese disjunction is a positive polarity item, and no syntactic movement plays any crucial role in determining its scope domain. We also investigated the function of the Focus feature in Agree operation, examining the relationship between focus and ellipsis, and showed that the complex of the Focus feature and the (genitive) Case feature activates the Ellipsis feature. Likewise, the complex of the Focus feature and the potential suffix licenses nominative object.
