It is argued that demonstrative adjectives like ano (“that”) kono ("this”) and sono (“the or that") occupy the highest Spec position in DP in Japanese, and that they block A-bar movement out of DP. The interactions among demonstrative adjectives, genitive phrases like John-no ("John's"), and WH-words like dare-no ( "whose") are explainable under our proposal.Downloads
