On the Generation of Japanese Complex Sentences Based on Phase Theory

Three kinds of complicated sentences in the Japanese language can be derived from the pattern CP+TP+v*P/vP+VP within the framework. The structure is different when the subordinate clause, located in the sentence with subordinate clauses and the complex sentence, is joined together into the main clause. And the linear order related to the main-subordinate clause can be decided hierarchically by the syntactic structure while there is no difference between two clauses in the compound sentence that needs the coornidated conjunction phrase to solve the problems of the linear order associated with the two clauses. It is concluded that the linear order between clauses is finally reflected into the phonetic component in the derivation of those complicated sentences in the Japanese language.
