Feature Inheritance and Percolation between C and T

The functional category T in a clause undergoes feature inheritance of ϕ-features from C in the system of complementizer.This feature inheritance bears by-products, and one of them is complementizer agreement observed in many languages,especially in West Germanic languages. The ϕ-features in T that are inherited from C percolate up from T to C, which is caused by requirements of the principle called “Percolation” applicable in istributed Morphology, a grammatical level between Narrow Syntax and PF Interface. Some cross-linguistic variations of this complementizer agreement depend on the interaction among the principle Percolation and the hierarchy of the ϕ-features. Features other than ϕ-features, i.e. tense feature and mood feature, also undergo feature inheritance from C to T, and feature percolation of the features in T inherited from C occurs due to requirements of the principle Percolation.論文(Article)departmental bulletin pape

Japan's aviation policy after the Corona disaster

2019年に中国武漢市で発生し、世界に伝播していった新型コロナウイルスは、我々の生活に多面的に甚 大な影響を及ぼしている。経済的に大きな影響を受けた１つに航空産業がある。国際化、情報化が進む中、 航空産業は重要なインフラストラクチャであるが、コロナ禍によって大きな変革が迫られている。特に LCCはそのビジネスモデルの根本的な見直しが問われている。アライアンスも変容を遂げるであろう。そ の一方で、コロナ禍によって需要が増えたビジネスジェットは、日本でもその価値が再評価されるべきで ある。その他、人材面ではコロナ禍収束後を見据えた対応が必要であるし、空港も、その経営のあり方が 見直されており、今後の動向に注目すべきである。departmental bulletin pape

The Issues Japanese Higher Education Face in the Digital Age - Are Japanese Universities to Blame for the Slow Progress towards an Information-based Society?

A quarter of a century has passed since the Internet was opened to general use. The impact of the Internet, which was initially moderate, is gradually taking shape. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is materializing with the advent of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. At the same time, higher education is in a period of drastic reform, driven by the globalization, marketization, and massification of higher education. However, adapting to the digital age has not been a priority, and as the turmoil of reforms is settling down, the gaps among universities in terms of adapting to the digital age have become apparent. Japanese universities are among the adaptation laggards. They have also drawn criticism for not being effective enough in producing skilled IT engineers and fostering the development of IT-related startups. But are Japanese universities to blame for the shortcomings of the Japanese IT industry? This paper analyzes the slow progress towards an information-based society in Japan by first comparing the measures taken by universities at the beginning of the digital age and the criticism Japanese universities have drawn. It then discusses the issues Japan is facing in transitioning to an information-based society and the contributions Japanese universities could make.journal articl
