have fundamentally uniform structures under the X-bar schema, which makes it unnecessary to assume that different phrases have different structures, unlike when one adopts the PSR. (This resolves the second issue above.) In the meanwhile, one needs to be wary of when such empty positions are representationally omitted as in Figure 4.

Finally the directionality of the specifier node is in essence unspecified as well, although this is subject to debate: Some argue that the relevant node is necessarily left-branching across languages, the idea of which is (partially) motivated by the fact that both English and Japanese have subjects

It is important that even if there are no candidates that can fit into the specifier and complement positions, these positions are syntactically present, and thus they are merely empty and unoccupied. (This is a natural consequence of the binarity principle.) This means that all phrasal categories

The specifier, head, and complement are obligatory; hence, a phrasal category XP must contain one specifier, one head, and one complement. On the other hand, the adjunct is optional; hence, a phrasal category contains zero or more adjuncts. Accordingly, when a phrasal category XP does not have an

It is obvious that this structure fails to capture the NP modification reading because modifies the VP no matter how one tries to illustrate the structure. The X-bar theory, however, successfully captures the ambiguity as demonstrated in the configurations in Figure 14 and 15 below, because it

As is obvious, the IP hypothesis makes it possible to regard the grammatical unit of sentence as a phrasal category. It is also important that the configuration in Figure 10 is fully compatible with the central assumptions of the X-bar theory, namely the headedness principle and the binarity

1419:(BPS): A replacement of the X-bar theory put forth by Chomsky (1995a, 1995b). It dispenses with a "template" structure like the X-bar schema, and yields syntactic structures by (iterative applications of) an operation called 1614:(eement) along the proposal by Pollock (1989). The functional category Agr, however, was rejected by Chomsky (1995) because it presumably made no contributions at LF. For this reason, clauses are generally assumed to be 1240:
of the past tense. This is consistent with the headedness principle, which requires that a phrase have a head, because a sentence (or a clause) necessarily involves an element that determines the inflection of a verb.
986:, which involves two adjuncts, may have either of the structures in Figure 6 or Figure 7. (The figures follow the convention of omitting the inner structures of certain phrasal categories with triangles.) 1381:: A hypothesis on the inner structure of VP proposed by researchers such as Fukui and Speas (1986) and Kitagawa (1986). It assumes that the sentential subject is base-generated in Spec-VP, not in Spec-IP. 1647:(PF) after syntactic formation, and in this case, it serves to move the "sound" of the inflectional suffix /-s/ and adjoin it onto the verb. Chomsky (1981) calls this kind of tense affix movement 1177:
on the left of a VP, whereas others such as Saito and Fukui (1998) argue that the directionality of the node is not fixed and needs to be externally determined, for example by the head parameter.
1039:: One is left-branching, while the other is right-branching. Accordingly, the X-bar theory, more specifically the binarity principle, does not impose a restriction on how a node branches. 909:
Figure 5 suggests that syntactic structures are derived in a bottom-up fashion under the X-bar theory. More specifically, the structures are derived via the following processes.
1423:, which serves to connect two syntactic objects such as words and phrases into one. Some radical versions of it even reject syntactic category labels such as V and A. See also 756:
As in Figure 1, the phrasal category XP is notated by an X with a double overbar. For typewriting reasons, the bar symbol is often substituted by the prime ('), as in
1224:), following the notational convention that phrasal categories are represented in the form of XP, with two letters. The category I includes auxiliary verbs such as 714:: The "X-bar" is a grammatical unit larger than X, thus than a lexeme, and the X-double-bar (=XP) outsizes the X(-single)-bar. X-double-bar categories are equal to 1202:
However, this structure violates the headedness principle because it has an exocentric, headless structure, and would also violate the binarity principle if an

The X-bar schema consists of a head and its circumstantial components, in accordance with the headedness principle. The relevant components are as follows:

In illustrating syntactic structures this way, at least one X'-level node is present in any circumstance because the complement is obligatory.

It is important that all the processes except for the third are obligatory. This means that one phrasal category necessarily includes X,
