This paper aims to demonstrate that the Phrase Structure Grammar (PSG) account of the English tough-construction presented by Jacobson (1984) can be successfully adopted to account for the syntactic properties of the Japanese tough-construction. The tough-constructions in both languages exhibit the same case-marking pattern. This case-marking pattern can be correctly described by positing a rule that sanctions a "free gap." After reviewing Jacobson's account of the English tough-construction in section 1, I will show in section 2 that Jacobson's insights can be employed to correctly derive the Japanese tough-sentences, including those containing double objects and complex sentences. Section 3 discusses how word-order variation in Japanese can be described in the PSG framework. Finally, section 4 summarizes our discussion with some additional comments.
