Abstract
The two Japanese particles kara and node, both mean ‘because’ or ‘since’, as illustrated in (1).
Much of the data in this paper are taken from Mari Nakamura’s 1987 Ohio State University M.A. thesis. The authors wish to acknowledge Charles Quinn for useful discussions related to the topic of this paper. We also benefitted a great deal from comments by the editors of this book as well as two anonymous reviewers. Last, but certainly not least, we wish to take this opportunity to thank Yuki Kuroda for his rich and productive scholarship that has made it possible for so many to share in the enterprise of doing linguistics.
