The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the fact that Japanese, unlike English, does not exhibit adjunct/argument asymmetry with weak crossover effects. In the following pages, an attempt wm be made to show that the adoption of Stowell's (1987) slash-indexing analysis of Weak Crossover and a system of category projection proposed in Fukui (1986 ; 1988 a ; 1988 b), Fukui and Speas (1986), and Speas (1986) would provide a compelling account of that difference in the two languages. This study can also be construed as presenting further evidence in support of Fukui's parameter that distinguishes Japanese from English-type languages: Japanese Jacks a class of functional categories
