Does scrambling in Japanese obey the Coordinate Structure Constraint?
矢田部 修一（東京大学）
In this paper, I demonstrate
(i) that the initial conjunct of a coordinate structure can be scrambled out of that coordinate structure，
(ii) that a non-initial conjunct of a coordinate structure cannot be scrambled out of that coordinate structure, and
(iii) that a part of a conjunct cannot be scrambled out of that conjunct.
These three observations do not make sense in the standard, movement-based theory of scrambling (Harada (1977); Saito (1985)). On the other hand, they receive a natural explanation in the linearization-based theory of long-distance scrambling, proposed in Yatabe (1996).
