 note = {In this paper, I argued that relative clauses and prenominal gapless clauses in Japanese are IPs, contrary to<br/>the proposal that they are CPs headed by a null complementizer. I followed the assumption that the lack of CP<br/>is responsible for the inapplicability of embedded topicalization in relative clauses (and prenominal gapless<br/>clauses) in Japanese, and concluded that whenever prenominal gapless clauses have a complementizer, it must<br/>be overt. I also showed that null complementizers must satisfy syntactic-phonological conditions, and showed<br/>that relative clauses in Japanese do not have a null complementizer. Hence, I proposed that NGC is a result of<br/>Agree between a nominal element D and the embedded subject, which is blocked by the CP projection in<br/>accordance with the PIC. I also proposed an alternative analysis of NGC with recourse to a mechanism where<br/>movement is triggered by an uninterpretable feature of the moving element. I extended this approach to head<br/>movement, and answered two questions: why NGC is possible and is blocked by the CP projection., Article, Papers from the Twenty-Fifth National Conference of the English Linguistic Society of Japan. 25:235-244 (2008)},
