Abstract
This paper investigates the nature of Japanese argument cluster (Steedman
2000b). Based on Combinatory Categorial Grammar, a type-raising analysis of case
particles which captures some aspects of the information structure in Japanese is discussed,
including contrastive interpretation of coordination, wh-constructions, and some theme and
rheme-related grammatical phenomena. These observations offer further support for the
study of syntax, semantics, and phonology interface and the earlier analysis of English
information structure.
