Abstract	As an optional movement, "scrambling" in Japanese has been one of the major obstacles to the Minimalist Program, in which movements occur only when necessary. One theorist has argued, in an attempt to accommodate this phenomenon to the Minimalist Program, that verb phrase-adjunction scrambling should be analyzed as base-generated constructions and suggests that IP-adjunction scrambling is motivated by some special element such as Focus. It is argued here that if a natural extension is made of the categories that can assume strong features, the IP-adjunction scrambling phenomenon can also be accounted for in the Minimalist Program without stipulating any special element. This study implies that nothing is special about Japanese phrase structure, except that a lexical category verb can bear a strong D-feature. Contains 14 references. (MSE)
