This study is on the extended line of Grimshaw 1979,which explains the complement selection in Japanese. Byextending Grimshaw's analysis that the combination ofpredicates and their complements are explicable by imposing well-formedness conditions on two differentlevels of representation: one at the syntactic level;the other at the semantic level, the analysis givenhere which utilizes two semantic restrictive featuresunder the semantic feature: [+presupposition] and[±factive], is able to explain the anomalies concerningthe complementizer selection in Kuno 1973.
