    This paper shows that, in a serial verb construction of Pwo Karen, one of the serialized verbs determines characteristics of the whole group of serialized verbs. Such a verb is called a “head verb”. A head verb determines two characteristics of a serial verb construciton ; that is its volitionality and/or manner of taking arguments.
    Serial verb constructions in Pwo Karen can be classified into three types based on the position of the negative particle l_??_- when they are negated: (1) l_??_- V1 V2 type, (2) V1 l_??_- V2 type and (3) l_??_- V1 1_??_- V2 type. Type (1) can be further classified into two groups according to the coreferentialigy of their arguments : A≠S type and S=S/S=A/A=A type.
    The head verb of each type is shown as below:
    l_??_- V1 V2 type (A≠S): V1
    l_??_- V1 V2 type (S=S/S=A/A=A): V2
    V1 l_??_- V2 type: V2
    l_??_- V1 l_??_- V2 type: V1 and V2

    The meaning of yon, one of the predicate verbs of Lhasa Tibetan, is analyzed in this paper. The result of the analysis shows that the yon has
    the following meanings and usages;
    1) Yon of retrospect
    Yon of retrospect is used when the speaker describes the certain state of things based upon his familiarity with it through sufficient experiences to the hearer who has no or less knowledge about it.
    Yon in this case denotes that the state of things was realized (or is realized) at the point of time away from the time of utterance, and/or at the place away from the place of utterance.
    2) Yon of presupposition
    Yon of presupposition is used when the speaker gives advance notice or warning based upon his familiarity with it through sufficient experiences to the hearer who has no or less knowledge about it that the certain state of things could happen at the point of time away from the time of utterance and/or at the place away from the place of utterance.
    3) Yon of intention
    Yon of intention is used when the speaker gives advance notice to the hearer that the speaker is intending to take a certain action to the hearer which could be realized at the point of time away from the time of utterance and/or at the place away from the place of utterance.
    The meanings of the three usages of yon disclose that each usage has characteristics of its own, and that at the same time they also share the undermentioned common features;
    a) Yon is used to describe the certain state of things which was realized (or is to be realized) at the point of time away from the time of utterance and/or at the place away from the place of utterance.
    b) Yon denotes the hearer-oriented expression.

    In this paper, we will explain a system which produces the variation of scope phenomena between determiners and NEG morphemes “NAI” in Japanese. By way of illustrating how the logical characterization of strong and weak determiners (which are provided by Barwise and Cooper, 1981) interacts with the resource domain (a contextually supplied set which is intersected with the common noun argument), new accounts provide for two kinds of readings of negative entences: predicational negation (D-N reading) and propositional negation (N-D reading). The crucial factor concer_??_ the . selection of the predicational negation is the inherent characterizi_??_tion of the strong D (which permits the predicational negation) and the weak D (which does not permit it), which can be adopted to both kinds of negative constructions (simple and complex setnences). However, whether propositional negation in complex sentences is triggered or not depends solely on the context or sentence information structure.
