We present a detailed analysis of the -te aru resultative constructions in Japanese. There are two -te aru constructions, "intransitivizing" and "non-intransitivizing." It is the "intransitivinzing" construction which we claim lacks the EPP on T. The nominative object of this construction must move out of its VP/ vP, but it does not go all the way to the matrix Spec of TP. The matrix T apparently does not project a specifier, which is consistent with the idea that it does not have the EPP feature. The other resultative construction, "non-intransitivizing," is a subject-to-subject raising construction and the T does have the EPP. While we do not attempt in this paper to try to explain the root of this difference between the two resultative constructions, it is possible that the difference is pointing to some fundamental property of the EPP which has yet to be discovered.}, pages = {159--185}, title = {The EPP, Unaccusativity, and the Resultative Constructions in Japanese}, volume = {3}, year = {2004} }
