Transitivity and valency alternations : studies on Japanese and beyond
The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. The series considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language.

The light verb construction in Japanese : the role of the verbal noun
This study deals with the so-called Light Verb Construction in Japanese, which consists of the verb \"suru\" 'do' and an accusative (\"o\") marked verbal noun (VN). There have been unresolved debates on the role of \"suru\": whether \"suru\" in \"VN-o suru\" functions as a light or heavy verb. The previous studies attempt to disambiguate \"VN-o suru\" formations by relying solely on examining whether \"suru\" can be thematically light or not. This study argues that the ambiguity does not stem from the 'weight' of \"suru\" but from its accusative phrase: whether it is headed by a thematic (complex event) VN or non-thematic (simple event) VN. Using a principles and parameters approach and employing ideas from conceptual semantics and theories of aspect, this study demonstrates that the characterization of \"VN-o suru\" formations arises not from the dichotic behavior of \"suru\" but from the dichotic behavior of the accusative phrase.
