In this paper,we will argue that there are two ways to check the θ-feature of the matrix verb against the embedded subjectb in backward control in Japanese:Merge or Probe-Goal Search. In the former,the embedded subject moves to the SPEC position of the matrix verb. Furthermore,when it raises,its Case is 'overridden' as Acc. In the latter,on the other hand,it dose not move,remaining in the embedded subject position. Following Fujimori(2018),we will assume that the subject position in Japanese is SpecCP,which enables the embedded subject to count as the upper phase participant,but it is not so high enough to interact with the matrix element.
