The unifying theme of this volume is the nature and structure of invariant principles and parameters (variables) and how they interact to give principled accounts to a variety of seemingly unrelated differences between English and Japanese. These two types of languages provide an ideal testing ground for the principles and their interactions with the parameters since the languages exhibit diverse superficial differences in virtually every aspect of theirlinguistic structures: word order, wh

Coected for the first time in a singe voume, these essays and artices by Naoki Fukui form an outine of some of the most significant and formative contributions to syntactic theory. Focusing particuary on the typoogica differences between Engish/type anguage and Japanese/type anguages, Fukui examines the abstract parameters that both ink and divide them.
