The theoretical status of ren’yoo (stem) in Japanese verbal morphologyKunio Nishiyama, This paper contributes to the debate over the necessity of autonomous morphology in the sense of Aronoff (1994) by discussing Japanese verbs. The issue centers on the theoretical status of the so-called ren’yoo form, which the traditional approach says is selected morphologically by particular suffixes. I claim that there is no need to resort to morphological selection to obtain the correct form of Japanese verbs. Instead, the presence of [i], which appears in the ren’yoo form, is predicted either phonologically (as an epenthesis) or syntactically (as the infinitive marker). The evidence comes form modern Japanese as well as from premodern Japanese, and I argue that in diachrony as well, there is no evidence that autonomous morphology is playing active roles., Springer Netherlands

Conjunctive agreement in LamaholotKunio Nishiyama, This paper presents a description and a theoretical analysis of agreement within coordination in Lamaholot (Austronesian), where the first conjunct agrees with the conjunction 'and'. Conjunctive agreement is obligatory in the subject position but is optional in the object position. The analysis is couched in terms of markedness of case and proposes that the case of the subject (nominative) is unmarked compared to the case of the object (accusative), and that only unmarked case enables phi-features of the agreement control to be copied onto the agreement host. Apparent optionality is accounted for by manners of case spreading in coordination. Conjunctive agreement is also reported in the genetically unrelated but areally related language of Walman. Although conjunctive agreement originates in verbal agreement with the comitative function in both languages, it is shown that grammaticalization from the comitative to the conjunction is more advanced in Lamaholot, at least in terms of syntax and morphology., CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS

[Reviewed] RELABELLING AND MULTI-DIRECTIONALITY ,IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COORDINATIONKunio Nishiyama, Cross-linguistically, there is polysemy of ‘with’ and ‘and,’ which is explained as development from the comitative to the conjunction. Formally, the development is captured as change of labels from DP to &
P, which instantiates the emergence of a functional category. Coordination is decomposed into several factors, each of which changes independently. This explains several types of anomalous coordination where only some, but not all, factors have changed. Such anomalous sentences manifest the gradualness of language change, and close examination of them reveals that the change is not unidirectional but multi-directional. © 2010, The English Linguistic Society of Japan.

[Reviewed] Penultimate accent in Japanese predicates and the verb–noun distinctionKunio Nishiyama, In contrast to antepenultimate accent in nouns (cf. Kubozono, 2008), predicates (mainly verbs) in Japanese are argued to have basic penultimate accent. Thus, tabe'ru 'eat.PRES' and tabesase'ru 'eat.CAUS.PRES' are the basic pattern. New evidence is provided to support the view that seemingly antepenultimate accent in ta'beta 'eat.PAST' and tabesa'seta 'eat.CAUS. PAST' should be analyzed with special treatment of -ta. After considering several approaches, I will argue in favor of an analysis in which the original accent position of the verb stem is underspecified and the suffix -ta is extrametrical. There are variations in accent pattern in verbal conjugation, and other complicated accent patterns are analyzed with selective or partial extrametricality of the suffix. Variations in accent pattern are also observed between verbs and nouns. These differences are attributed to the morphological structure: while nouns are free forms and subject to compounding, verbs are bound forms and subject to suffixation. Despite the difference, nouns and verbs are claimed to share the same fundamental property: both accent the syllable at the morpheme boundary. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V., ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

V-V Compounds as SerializationKunio Nishiyama, This article argues for a fundamental structural similarity between Serial Verb Constructions, widely known from Kwa languages, and V-V compounds in Japanese. A major theoretical implication of the analysis is that it supports an analysis of clausal structure where the external argument is not included in the immediate projection of a verb but is introduced by another projection (Collins (1997a), among others). © 1998 Kluwer Academic Publishers., Springer Netherlands
