  • An experimental reassessment of complex NP islands with NP-scrambling in Japanese

    Open AccessShin Fukuda, Nobuko Tanaka et al.ARTICLEGlossa a journal of general…2022

    There is little consensus in the Japanese syntax literature on the question of whether complex NPs with a noun complement headed by toyuu ‘that.say’ are islands for NP-scrambling dependencies. To explore this question, we conducted two acceptability judgment experiments using the factorial definition of islands to test the status of noun complements, relative clauses (which are also complex NPs, and uniformly considered islands in the literature)…

  • Japanese children’s knowledge of the locality of zibun and kare

    Open AccessNaho Orita, Hajime Ono et al.ARTICLELanguage Acquisition2021

    Although the Japanese reflexive zibun can be bound both locally and across clause boundaries, the third-person pronoun kare cannot take a local antecedent. These are properties that children need to learn about their language, but we show that the direct evidence of the binding possibilities of zibun is sparse and the evidence of kare is absent in speech to children, leading us to ask about children’s knowledge. We show that children, unlike adul…

  • Syntax and processing in Seediq: A behavioral study

    Open AccessHajime Ono, Jungho Kim et al.ARTICLEJournal of East Asian Linguistics2020

    Syntactic properties such as word orders are a major factor determining the difficulty of a sentence. In SO-type languages where the subject (S) precedes the object (O) in canonical word order, there is clear evidence that the SO word order is preferred over the OS word order. We investigate to what extent this SO bias is maintained even in typologically diverse languages like Truku, an Austronesian language, in which the Verb-Object-Subject (VOS…

  • Syntax and processing in Seediq: An event-related potential study

    Open AccessMasataka Yano, Keiyu Niikuni et al.ARTICLEJournal of East Asian Linguistics2019

    In many languages with subject-before-object as a syntactically basic word order, transitive sentences in which the subject precedes the object have been reported to have a processing advantage over those in which the subject follows the object in sentence comprehension. Three sources can be considered to account for this advantage, namely, syntactic complexity (filler-gap dependency), conceptual accessibility (the order of thematic roles), and p…

  • Reverse Island Effects and the Backward Search for a Licensor in Multiple Wh-Questions

    Open AccessJon Sprouse, Shin Fukuda et al.ARTICLESyntax2011Cited by: 15References: 32

    This paper reports a series of formal acceptability-judgment experiments designed to investigate the syntactic properties of a relatively understudied type of wh-dependency: multiple wh-questions in English. By using a factorial definition of island effects made available only by formal experiments, we report an unpredicted pattern of acceptability that suggests the existence of reverse island effects for whether and adjunct islands inside of mul…
