| Abstract |
This paper discusses the syntactic properties of the V-sugiru construction in Japanese, focusing on the fact that Taro wa kookana purezento o kai-sugita, for example, can mean not only that 'the amoun...t of [Taro's buying an expensive present] was excessive', but also that 'the expensiveness of [the present Taro bought] was excessive'. The problem is how the second interpretation can be derived. While Yumoto (2005) proposes in effect that the interpretation in question is based on the syntactic relation formed between sugiru 'excessive' and kokana 'expensive', this paper argues that the syntactic relation crucial to this construction is established between sugiru 'excessive' and purezento 'present', and that the relation between sugiru 'excessive' and kokana 'expensive' is determined pragmatically.show more
