Description

This squib discusses a piece of potential counterevidence against Kuroda's (1979) and Hoshi's (1991, 1999) dichotomy of ni and ni yotte passive sentences in Japanese, and shows that a slight modification of the apparent counterexample does provide a piece of supporting evidence for Kuroda's and Hoshi's claim that the subject in these two types of passive is derived in different ways.
