We focus on three scopal contrasts between English and Japanese : (i) scope rigidity in Japanese, (ii) distribution of Negative Polarity Items (henceforth NPIs) and Positive Polarity Items (henceforth PPIs) in negative sentences, and (iii) lack of scope ambiguity between an o-marked Accusative object and a Postpositional phrase in Japanese. Those facts are simultaneously accounted for by the assumption that Japanese nominals undergo no movement from a theta-position to a Case-checking position. This leads one to conclude that Japanese has no Agr projection.}, pages = {63--85}, title = {Some Evidence for a Non-Movement Approach to Japanese Case Licensing}, volume = {5}, year = {1999} }
