I acknowledge the comments and suggestions made by S.‐Y. Kuroda, Ronald W. Langacker, and Edward Klima, who read an earlier version of this paper. Any errors that remain here are my own. I also thank the members of UCSD Japanese Linguistics Group, Y. Arai, M. Inoue, K. Shimizu, and S. Watanabe for their grammatical judgment on the illustrative Japanese sentences in this paper.
