I have been studying how general rules of structure building can explain various grammatical phenomena observed in individual languages and how they can capture cross-linguistic similarities and differences with the help of language-particular properties. In recent years, I have been focusing on the phenomenon of ellipsis in Japanese and other languages such as English, Turkish, Malayalam, Basque, Mandarin Chinese, Mongolian, Dagara, and Vietnamese, among others. I have found that constructions involving ellipsis in those languages exhibit similarities in general and yet differences in specific details. For example, so-called displacement \u2014 a phenomenon where an element in a sentence is \u201cmoved\u201d to another position in the sentence, such as topicalization, <em>wh<\/em>-movement, and focalization \u2014 out of elliptic parts is allowed in some languages but heavily constrained in others. It is a fascinating puzzle how speakers of those languages come to \u201cknow\u201d such differences despite the fact that elliptic parts of relevant sentences do not \u201ctell\u201d them much: elliptic parts are phrases in silence and hence show no visible or audible clue to whatever property they have. I especially welcome students who share in interest in such research and wish to work with them to solve mysteries syntax of human language exhibits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Research Interests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Syntax, Comparative Syntax, Syntactic Theory, Japanese Syntax, Syntax-Semantics Interface, Syntax-Phonology Interface<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Academic Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1994 \u2013 PhD (Linguistics), University of Connecticut<br>1990 \u2013 MA (English Linguistics), Tohoku University<br>1988 \u2013 BA (English Linguistics), Tohoku University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Major Publications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Takahashi, Daiko. 2020. \u201cDerivational Argument Ellipsis.\u201d <em>The Linguistic Review<\/em> 37: 47-74.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Takahashi, Daiko. 2014. \u201cArgument Ellipsis, Anti-agreement, and Scrambling.\u201d In Mamoru Saito ed. <em>Japanese Syntax in Comparative Perspective<\/em>: 88-116.
