Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures Masaaki Kamiya presented a paper titled "Two Types of Movements in Japanese Nominalizations and Edge Phenomena" at the 17th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference at UCLA on November 9-11. In this paper he showed that the left edge of sentences and DP (and Nominalizations) have the identical structure. This was demonstrated by using interactions between negation and the universal quantifier. This paper further supports the idea that sentences and DP are rooted from a more fundamental structure, but they are instantiated differently.
