Koto-type Bases in Temporal-Phase Constructions: A Contrastive Study of Japanese and Chinese
Abstract
verb types, whereas Chinese -zhÅng is more permissive. Adjectival bases are lexically restricted in both languages, with Japanese employing
-naka rather than -chÅ«. Although Japanese -chÅ« and Chinese -zhÅng share the same Chinese character and a similar meaning, they are governed by distinct phonological, aspectual, and lexical constraints.
