Abstract
- This paper shows that ‘genuine’ inverse scope is possible in at least two types of clause in Japanese, description clauses and clauses with a topic phrase marked by wa, after excluding two cases of ‘non-genuine’ inverse scope. I then discuss a semantic restriction on QPs in description clauses and suggest a way for a QP to circumvent this restriction.
