要旨

This paper argues that the idea of Construction Morpho(phono)logy (henceforth CM) in the sense of Booij (2010) works well in the analysis of many register-specific expressions in Japanese. Japanese is often (unofficially) said to be morpho-syntactically “less constructional” than languages like English. This kind of remark seems to stem in part from the apparent rarity of constructional template-based innovation like the one cited in (1a), in which the otherwise intransitive verb sneeze occurs in a transitive sentence frame with the help of the well-known “caused-motion construction” given in (1b). What seems to be its Japanese equivalent is clearly ungrammatical, as shown in (1c).1a. Fred sneezed the napkin off the table. (Goldberg 1995:156) 1b. The caused-motion construction in English (Goldberg 1995:152)syntax: [SUBJ [V OBJ OBL]] semantics: ‘X CAUSE Y to MOVE z’1c. *Hureddo-ga teeburu-kara napukin-o kusyami-si-ta.F-NOM table-from napkin-ACC sneeze-do-PST ‘Fred sneezed the napkin off the table.’In this study, however, it will be shown that the language has a rich constructional architecture at least at the word level.
