 note = {The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that the so-called VP-internal subject hypothesis for Japanese must be reinterpreted as vP-internal subject hypothesis. I will first review Tateishi's (1994) arguments which convincingly show that the subject in Japanese must typically be generated outside VP. This conclusion is apparently at odds with the conclusion I reached in Yoshimoto (1998). However, I will argue that once we recognize the existence of vP, a maximal projection of a light verb that takes VP as its complement, the apparent conflict between Tateishi's conclusion and my conclusion disappears. I will also offer evidence that recognizing AgrP alone, without vP, will lead to a wrong prediction in regard to the appearance of the light verb su in a certain kind of coordinate structure., 紀要論文},
