  • Case and the ECP revisited: Reply to Kellerman and Yoshioka (1999)

    Open AccessKazue KannoARTICLESecond language Research2000References: 1

    Kellerman and Yoshioka (1999) report the results of three studies on case drop in Japanese involving Dutch-speaking L2 learners. They claim that contra Kanno (1996 and 1998), there was no evidence that their subjects have access to the Empty Category Principle (ECP), which is claimed to regulate the omission of case particles in Japanese. In its place, they propose an alternative functional account: the one-noun hypothesis. Kellerman and Yoshioka…

  • Consistency and variation in second language acquisition

    Open AccessKazue KannoARTICLESecond language Research1998Cited by: 6References: 3

    This article proposes that L2 learners differ from native speakers with respect to two benchmarks–the extent to which native-like success on one principle of UG predicts comparable success on other principles (lateral consistency), and the extent to which this level of success is stable over time (longitudinal). Results of two experimental studies on the acquisition of Japanese as a second language show that L2 learners exhibit neither lateral no…

  • The stability of UG principles in second-language acquisition: Evidence from Japanese

    Open AccessKazue KannoARTICLELinguistics1998Cited by: 1

    Second-language acquisition is subject to great variation in terms both of ultimate attainment and of the developmental process itself. This paper explores the possibility that at least part of this variation is due to a lack of stability in learners' access to UG. I report here on a limited-scope longitudinal study that examines this matter. The study focuses on a UG principle that prevents overt pronouns from having quantified NPs as antecedent…

  • The acquisition of null and overt pronominals in Japanese by English speakers

    Open AccessKazue KannoARTICLESecond language Research1997Cited by: 12References: 5

    This article reports on an experimental study that examines the role of UG in the L2 acquisition of Japanese by English speakers. The study focuses on the acquisition of the principle that prevents overt pronouns from having quantified NPs as antecedents in languages (such as Japanese) that have null pronouns. A group of 28 English speakers taking a fourth semester course in Japanese were asked to interpret the null and overt pronominal in the Ja…
