ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I will give further support for two points found in the literature on Japanese:

Floating numeral quantifiers (NQs) in Japanese identify copies of A-movement

(Chapter 1 of this volume; see also Ueda 1986)

Japanese is a scopally rigid language, but quantifier-scope ambiguity obtains (inverse scope is possible) if one quantifier is overtly moved over another quantifier.

(Kuroda 1971)
