AB - The purpose of the present paper is to show that there is a new type of naru predicates in Japanese, the fourth type of naru predicates, which has not been discussed in literature. The representative example for this new type of naru predicates is "benkyoo ni naru" as in "Yamadasensei no kooen ga gakusei nitotte benkyoo ni naru." It is shown that this new type of naru predicates is different from the standard naru predicates such as "Musume ga koobedaigaku no kyooin ni natta." in that the subject of the former does not undergo the change of state described by the naru predicates. It is gakusei but not yamadasensei that undergoes the change of state described by the predicate benkyoo ni naru. It is argued that such arguments as gakusei in the example above are default arguments in line with Pustejovsky (1995). This default argument is marked by nitotte or no and such an argument does not appear in other uses of the verb naru. None of other uses of the verb naru allows an argument marked by nitotte or no to appear as it is shown that it is ungrammatical to say "*Musumega oya nitotte koobedaigaku no kyooin ni natta." It is argued that the new type of naru predicates and individual-level predicates such as "aoi me wo shiteiru" show similar distributions on that they are both incompatible with bounded time and space expressions. It is also shown that the fourth type of naru predicates shares a number of properties with adjective predicates and that the verb naru and the dative noun preceding it have lexical integrity.
