  1. The role of pitch accent in lexical recognition in Japanese: evidence from event-related potential and gamma-band activity Invited Peer-reviewed

    Abstract This study examined (i) the stage at which pitch accents contribute to lexical processing in native Japanese speakers and (ii) the interpretation pathway for the meaning of words pronounced with incorrect pitch accents. Event-related potential analyses during spoken word processing showed that words with incorrect accents elicited greater N400 amplitudes than those with correct accents, indicating that accent information aids in selecting suitable candidates from activated lexicons rather than in lexical activation itself. We employed a cross-modal semantic priming paradigm for the second aim, which involved exposure to a spoken word (prime) followed by a picture (target). Analyses of event-related spectral perturbations showed that the facilitation of semantic processing of the picture, indicated by low-gamma activity, occurred only after correctly accented words and not after incorrectly accented words. These findings suggest that incorrect Japanese pitch accents inhibit full access to their semantic contents when the words are spoken without appropriate contexts.

    Abstract According to UNESCO. 2020. World atlas of languages, 3rd edn. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Available at: https://en.wal.unesco.org, the Tongan language is classified as ‘potentially vulnerable.’ This study aimed to identify a core Tongan vocabulary and develop a web-searchable database to support the preservation and accessibility of the language. Due to the lack of a large-scale corpus for calculating lexical frequencies, we utilized vocabulary from the Students’ English-Tongan and Tongan-English Dictionary (Thompson, Richard H. & ‘Ofa Thompson. 1992. The students’ English-Tongan and Tongan-English dictionary. Tonga: Faletohi ‘Otumotu Angl’ofa’), a resource commonly used in Tongan schools. This dictionary compiles words used in both Tongan and English in everyday life. By examining processing speed and accuracy rates in lexical decision tasks, we identified a core Tongan vocabulary. Lexical decision tasks conducted on 4,013 words from the dictionary demonstrated a mean accuracy of 95.40 % and a rapid mean reaction time of 575 ms. A comparative analysis with an equal number of high-frequency words in English (Balota, David A., Melvin J. Yap, Michael J. Cortese, Keith A. Hutchison, Brett Kessler, Bjorn Loftis, James H. Neely, Douglas L. Nelson, Greg B. Simpson & Rebecca Treiman. 2007. The English lexicon project. Behavior Research Methods 39. 445–459) and French (Ferrand, Ludovic, Boris New, Marc Brysbaert, Emmanuel Keuleers, Patrick Bonin, Alain Méot, Maria Augustinova & Christophe Pallier. 2010. The French Lexicon Project: Lexical decision data for 38,840 French words and 38,840 pseudowords. Behavior Research Methods 42. 488–496) revealed that Tongan words were processed more quickly, though with an average accuracy approximately 2 % lower than the English and French words. Despite this slight difference in accuracy, the overall comprehension level for Tongan words remained high, with accuracy exceeding 95 %. Given the faster processing speeds observed, we propose that these words represent a core vocabulary in Tongan. To facilitate access to this vocabulary, we developed a web-based search engine (https://tonganlex.vercel.app/), which provides detailed information on letter (grapheme) count, phonemes, moras, parts of speech, meanings, as well as lexical decision times and accuracies. This study contributes to the accessibility of the Tongan language by making essential lexical information readily available online.

    This study explored sentence processing in two typologically distinct languages: Korean, a verb-final language, and Tongan, a verb-initial language. The first experiment revealed that in Korean, sentences arranged in the scrambled OSV (Object, Subject, Verb) order were processed more slowly than those in the canonical SOV order, highlighting a scrambling effect. It also found that sentences with subject topicalization in the SOV order were processed as swiftly as those in the canonical form, whereas sentences with object topicalization in the OSV order were processed with speeds and accuracy comparable to scrambled sentences. However, since topicalization and scrambling in Korean use the same OSV order, independently distinguishing the effects of topicalization is challenging. In contrast, Tongan allows for a clear separation of word orders for topicalization and scrambling, facilitating an independent evaluation of topicalization effects. The second experiment, employing a maze task, confirmed that Tongan’s canonical VSO order was processed more efficiently than the VOS scrambled order, thereby verifying a scrambling effect. The third experiment investigated the effects of both scrambling and topicalization in Tongan, finding that the canonical VSO order was processed most efficiently in terms of speed and accuracy, unlike the VOS scrambled and SVO topicalized orders. Notably, the OVS object-topicalized order was processed as efficiently as the VSO canonical order, while the SVO subject-topicalized order was slower than VSO but faster than VOS. By independently assessing the effects of topicalization apart from scrambling, this study demonstrates that both subject and object topicalization in Tongan facilitate sentence processing, contradicting the predictions based on movement-based anticipation.

    Abstract In computational neurolinguistics, it has been demonstrated that hierarchical models such as recurrent neural network grammars (RNNGs), which jointly generate word sequences and their syntactic structures via the syntactic composition, better explained human brain activity than sequential models such as long short-term memory networks (LSTMs). However, the vanilla RNNG has employed the top-down parsing strategy, which has been pointed out in the psycholinguistics literature as suboptimal especially for head-final/left-branching languages, and alternatively the left-corner parsing strategy has been proposed as the psychologically plausible parsing strategy. In this article, building on this line of inquiry, we investigate not only whether hierarchical models like RNNGs better explain human brain activity than sequential models like LSTMs, but also which parsing strategy is more neurobiologically plausible, by developing a novel fMRI corpus where participants read newspaper articles in a head-final/left-branching language, namely Japanese, through the naturalistic fMRI experiment. The results revealed that left-corner RNNGs outperformed both LSTMs and top-down RNNGs in the left inferior frontal and temporal-parietal regions, suggesting that there are certain brain regions that localize the syntactic composition with the left-corner parsing strategy.

    This study is the first to report chronometric evidence on Tongan language production. It has been speculated that the mora plays an important role during Tongan phonological encoding. A mora follows the (C)V form, so /a/ and /ka/ (but not /k/) denote a mora in Tongan. Using a picture–word naming paradigm, Tongan native speakers named pictures containing superimposed non-word distractors. This task has been used before in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese to investigate the initially selected unit during phonological encoding (IPU). Compared with control distractors, both onset and mora overlapping distractors resulted in faster naming latencies. Several alternative explanations for the pattern of results—proficiency in English, knowledge of Latin script, and downstream effects—are discussed. However, we conclude that Tongan phonological encoding likely natively uses the phoneme, and not the mora, as the IPU.

    We investigated pupillary responses to the world’s shortest fixed verses, Japanese haiku as aesthetic poetry (AP) and senryu as comic poetry (CP), in comparison with non-poetry control stimuli (NP) comprised of slogans that had the same rhythm patterns. Native Japanese speakers without literary training listened to these stimuli while we recorded their pupil diameters. We found that participants’ pupils were significantly dilated for CP compared to NP in an early time window. While AP also evoked larger dilations than NP, the latency for AP-related pupil dilation was relatively long. Thus, lay people experience quick and intense arousal in response to funny and humorous words, while aesthetic properties of words may also elicit intense but slower changes in listeners’ arousal levels, presumably because they evoke more implicit and subtle emotional effects. This study is the first to provide evidence that poetic language elicits human pupillary dilation. A better understanding of the cognitive and neural substrates for the sensitive awareness of pleasures expressed via poetic language will provide insights for improving mental and physical health. Hence, pupillometry can act as a useful convenient measurement to delineate the sympathetic activation of emotional contexts via language.

  16. Different Neural Responses for Unfinished Sentence as a Conventional Indirect Refusal Between Native and Non-native Speakers: An Event-Related Potential Study Peer-reviewed

    Refusal is considered a face-threatening act (FTA), since it contradicts the inviter’s expectations. In the case of Japanese, native speakers (NS) are known to prefer to leave sentences unfinished for a conventional indirect refusal. Successful comprehension of this indirect refusal depends on whether the addressee is fully conventionalized to the preference for syntactic unfinishedness so that they can identify the true intention of the refusal. Then, non-native speakers (NNS) who are not fully accustomed to the convention may be confused by the indirect style. In the present study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) of electroencephalography in an attempt to differentiate the neural substrates for perceiving unfinished sentences in a conventionalized indirect refusal as an FTA between NS and NNS, in terms of the unfinishedness and indirectness of the critical sentence. In addition, we examined the effects of individual differences in mentalization, or the theory of mind, which refers to the ability to infer the mental states of others. We found several different ERP effects for these refusals between NS and NNS. NNS induced stronger P600 effects for the unfinishedness of the refusal sentences, suggesting their perceived syntactic anomaly. This was not evoked in NS. NNS also revealed the effects of N400 and P300 for the indirectness of refusal sentences, which can be interpreted as their increased processing load for pragmatic processing in the inexperienced contextual flow. We further found that the NNS’s individual mentalizing ability correlates with the effect of N400 mentioned above, indicating that lower mentalizers evoke higher N400 for indirect refusal. NS, on the contrary, did not yield these effects reflecting the increased pragmatic processing load. Instead, they evoked earlier ERPs of early posterior negativity (EPN) and P200, both of which are known as indices of emotional processing, for finished sentences of refusal than for unfinished ones. We interpreted these effects as a NS’s dispreference for finished sentences to realize an FTA, given that unfinished sentences are considered more polite and more conventionalized in Japanese social encounters. Overall, these findings provide evidence that a syntactic anomaly inherent in a cultural convention as well as individual mentalizing ability plays an important role in understanding an indirect speech act of face-threatening refusal.

    Research on sentence production often assumes that there is a universal mechanism<br> for the sentence production. Nevertheless, languages investigated so far are typolog-<br>ically quite limited. The aim of this paper is to investigate how VOS sentences are<br> produced in Kaqchikel, a Mayan language spoken in Guatemala, examining animacy<br> effects on the choice of word order. We conducted two picture description tasks manip-<br>ulating animacy of the patient entity in the event while the agent was always human<br> being. Throughout those experiments, less VOS sentences were produced with an an-<br>imate patient than with an inanimate patient, suggesting that the similarity between<br> agent and patient, rather than the accessibility of the patient per se, affects the choice<br> of word order in Kaqchikel. Based on these results, we argue that VOS sentences are<br> produced in a way that an agent is processed first and retained in the memory until<br> the end of the sentence.

    In this study, we investigated the development of metalinguistic awareness in young children and the effect of early exposure to a non-native language. We carried out two experiments to assess metalinguistic awareness of three groups of Japanese children with different levels of exposure to English. The results revealed significant differences between the groups: children with larger amount of exposure to English showed a higher level ofmetalinguistic awareness.

    Numeral classifiers (e.g. -hiki, -hon) are the suffixes used with numbers, which we usually use to count certain objects. The nouns choose what type of specific numeral classifiers should associate with them. The purpose of this study is to reveal, by using ERPs, what kind of brain activities are taking place when Japanese native speakers integrate nouns and numeral classifiers. Results of our experiment showed that mismatch of a noun and a numeral classifier evoked N400. This suggests that semantic processes are crucially involved in the integration of nouns and numeral classifiers in Japa...

    This paper reports our experimental findings on Japanese children's word-order preference in the production of Japanese ditransitive constructions. We investigated whether the possessor-hood of dative arguments of ditransitive verbs affects 4 or 5-year-old children's word-order preferences for the two objects (Dative-Accusative vs. Accusative-Dative), by employing an elicited production task. In our experiment, children showed different word-order preferences depending on the existence of the possessor-hood: when the dative arguments bears possessor role, the Dative-Accusative order is more preferred, and when they do not necessarily entail possessor-hood, the preference or one order was not observed. Our results suggest that children learning Japanese have syntactical knowledge of two different goal positions in Japanese ditransitive constructions although the relevant constructions apparently have only one goal position.

    In this study, we investigated the development of metalinguistic awareness in young children and the effect of early exposure to a non-native language. We carried out two kinds of experiments to assess metalinguistic awareness of three groups of Japanese children of the second year in their kindergarten with different levels of exposure to English and compared the results to the results of their own first year's. The results revealed significant differences between the groups: children with larger amount of exposure to English showed a higher level of metalinguistic awareness.

    It is assumed that Japanese scrambled sentences are made by moving an object from the canonical order sentences to the sentence initial position. This type of moving is assumed to leave "a trace" in original object position (Chomsky, 1981; 1995). If human comprehends the scrambled sentences based on this linguistic theory, the object in scrambled sentences is thought to be processed in the trace position. Some previous studies have showed the increase of the activation level of the object in the trace position. On the other hand, Shibata et al. (2004) presented a conceptual model involving the process after trace position. This model postulated that the object activation level decreases immediately after processing the trace. Based on this model, the present study examined the decays of indirect priming effects in Japanese short-distance scrambled sentences. As we analyzed the all participants' data, the object activation effect in trace position did not been detected. Then, depending on the lexical decision time during the sentence comprehension, we divided the participants into the fast group or the slow group. As to the fast group, it was showed that the activation level of the object increased in the trace position, and decreased in the verb end position.

    本研究は、自閉症スペクトラム症障害の言語障害を言語学理論＜カートグラフィー＞で捕捉し、当障害へのリハビリテーション手法を創出するための科学的根拠を創出することを目指している。特に命題情報を他者にどのような態度・価値付けで伝えるかを表示する文末助詞の階層に対人コミュニケーション情報が集中的に出現すると予想し、この文末助詞の理論言語学的解明と認知神経科学の手法を用いた実験的検討を行う。研究組織は理論・障害・言語処理・MRIの4班よりなる。 理論班：情動の計算の基礎的なメカニズムについて疑問文を中心に作成し、ASDの言葉との関連を探った。論文は、国際学術誌に投稿し、受理された。 言語処理班：日常会話コーパスのデータ供与者60名のAQ等を測定し、文末助詞「よ」「ね」の使用率との相関を調べたところ、自閉傾向の高い話者ほど「よ」「ね」を使用しないことが明らかになった。 障害班：文末助詞「よ」「ね」の処理に関わる脳メカニズムをfMRIで検討し、両側のTPJが終助詞処理に反応することが示された。聴覚を含む感覚の問題のアンケートについて自由記述を含めて解析を行った結果、 ASD、ADHD、LDのいずれにおいても聴覚の問題が、もっともつらい感覚の問題の半数近くをしめていた。これらの成果についてとりまとめて論文として投稿した。アイコンタクトによる対人行為が欠ける視覚障害者の文末助詞使用について、調査を行うための計画を準備した。また、絵文字は、文末助詞と同じく文の末尾に置かれて表情や気分、態度などを表現するための記号として頻用されていることに注目し、文理解における文末助詞と絵文字の役割とその神経基盤について、行動指標とfMRIを用いて比較検討を進めている MRI班：文末助詞の処理に関わる脳領域を同定するためのタスクfMRI実験を行い、さらにresting-stateネットワークを同定した。

    The purpose of this research is to create a corpus of Taroko (Austronesian, Taiwanese) dialogues with video clips, make it available to the public, and use the data to conduct research on discourse grammar. The plan at the time of the proposal submission was for the PI, accompanied by graduate students and other research collaborators, to visit Taiwan, record spoken dialogues with Taroko speakers, and create a corpus based on the recorded data to conduct research on discourse grammar. However, with the spread of COVID-19, it was no longer possible to go to Taiwan from Japan. We asked a local collaborator to film the speeches and dialogues in order to create a corpus with video clips based on CHILDES. We also proceeded to transcribe them into writing.

    The goal of the present study was to reveal neural basis for developmental changes in emotion perception with speech in East-Asian languages. We conducted an experiment using functional magnetic resonance to examine how young native Japanese speakers understand Japanese sentence-final particles (SFPs) ‘-ne’ and ‘-yo’, which have been assumed to have functions of empathy and emphasis, respectively. Results indicated that their understanding of the SFPs was associated with the neural activity in the several cortical areas which are known to be responsible for theory of mind (i.e., the ability to infer other’s mental state), attention, and empathy. Further continuous investigations which shed light on the age-related changes will be informative for finding better ways of inter-generational communication in aging society in East Asia.

    This project examined the nature, acquisition and processing of interlanguage competence in terms of grammatical illusions, which have been extensively observed in second language acquisition but have not received enough attention. To this end, we made detailed analyses of grammatical phenomena which seem to give rise to grammatical illusions. Based on the results, we have identified linguistic properties which are potentially difficult for second language learners to acquire and resist instruction. Thus, the acceptability of grammatical illusions can diagnose how second language learners construct and access linguistic representations in real-time. We also explored the extent to which linguistic approaches to second language acquisition provide insights for the language classroom and concluded that they can bridge a gap between theoretical linguistics and English pedagogy.

    It is not uncommon for some Asian languages to have sentence-final particles (SFPs) to yield various discourse functions. Particularly in Japanese, SFPs carry various moods between the addresser and the addressee. This study utilized event-related potential (ERP) of electroencephalography to examine age-related changes as well as an individual difference in autistic traits for understanding the addressee-oriented SFP -ne. We found a significant effect of late positive potential (LPP), which is known as a reliable index of emotional perception. The greater LPP was elicited for utterances with -ne than those without -ne, in older adults thah younger adults. This effect is particularly evident in older men with higher autistic traits, suggesting that they are hyper-sensitive to the emotionally arousing SFP -ne. The atypical neural reactivity to the SFP by Japanese older men with higher autistic traits may underlie their possible difficulties in using the short linguistic marker of mood.

    Goldin-Meadow et al. (2008) examined whether word orders of speakers’ own languages influence their non-verbal behaviors by asking speakers of four languages to describe events non-verbally using gestures. They found that speakers of all four languages preferred to perform gestures in Actor-Patient-Action order. Although they argued that this reflects a natural order of event description for humans, their research is limited in languages with Subject-Object word order. In order to verify their claim, we examined Kaqchikel, employing Object-Subject (VOS) word order. In our non-verbal event description experiment, Kaqchikel native speakers described pictures of transitive events using gestures. We found predominant Actor-Patient order (86.2%) as well as Patient-Actor order (13.8%). These results revealed that event descriptions are not only governed by universal conceptual preference to Actor-Patient order but also influenced by word orders of speakers’ own languages.

    In this study, we investigated factors affecting word order preference in the comprehension and production of OS-type languages such as Kaqchikel Mayan (a language spoken in Guatemala). We found in Kaqchikel: (1) The syntactically basic word order, VOS, induces less processing load than other grammatically possible word orders in this language such as SVO; (2) Despite that, SVO is more frequently used than VOS; (3) As in SO languages such as Japanese and English, in Kaqchikel, the most natural order that the speaker imposes on events when describing and reconstructing them nonverbally (= order of thought) is "Actor-Patinet", which corresponds to SO order in language. These results, taken together, show that the primary factor that determines processing load is different from the one that determines production frequencies, which calls for a new psycholinguistic theory that is equally applicable to SO and OS-type languages.

    This study provides the behavioral and neuroimaging data to show that(1) two distinct regions of the left frontal gyrus explain individual differences in second language(L2) proficiency ;(2) post-puberty Japanese leaners of English can acquire more knowledge of syntax than is instructed, suggesting the interweaving of nature(universal principles of human language) and nurture(instruction) in L2 acquisition ;(3) at least the core principle(i. e., structure-dependence) in the computational system still functions after the critical or sensitive periods, suggesting plasticity for neural circuits for language in adult L2 learners ;(4) the acquisition of article use and tense can be explained in a principled way by the Feature Reassembly Hypothesis ;(5) explicit instruction can improve at the very least the performance of L2 learners ;(6) results here provide useful insights into the pedagogical grammar of English.

    言語の理解や産出の際に、主語が目的語に先行するSO語順がその逆のOS語順に比べて処理負荷が低く母語話者に好まれる傾向があることが、これまでの研究で分かっている(SO語順選好)。しかし、従来の文処理研究は全て英語のようにSO語順を基本語順にもつSO型言語を対象にしているため、SO語順選好が個別言語の基本語順を反映したものなのか、あるいは人間のより普遍的な認知特性を反映したものなのかが分からない。この2つの要因の影響を峻別するためにはOS語順を基本語順に持つOS型言語で検証を行う必要がある。そこで、本研究では、VOS語順を基本語順にもつカクチケル語(中米グアテマラで話されているマヤ諸語のひとつ)の理解と産出の過程をフィールド言語心理学の手法によって多角的に検証し、語順選好の背後にある要因を明らかにして、言語を司る認知機構の解明に貢献することを目指す。 基盤研究(S)に採択されて本交付金(基盤研究(A))を辞退することとなったため、本交付金による研究期間は22年4月から5月までの二ヶ月間であった。その間の研究実績の概要は次の通りである。 1. 先行研究を再調査し研究計画の妥当性を再検討する作業を開始した。 2. 22年4月初旬にグアテマラを訪問し、調査対象地域の視察ならびに現地協力機関への協力依頼を行った。 3. 4月のグアテマラ滞在中に、カクチケル語母語話者の協力を得て、22年9月に行う予備実験の刺激文を作成し、帰国後に修正を加えて、予備実験用の実験プログラムを作成した。

    This study investigated into the process of comprehension (input) and production (output) of language as well as language learning through input/output processing by native Japanese speakers and Japanese language learners. Adopting the working hypothesis that neural networks are shaped through experience, we conducted behavioral, eye-tracking, and event-related potential experiments. We found that semantic inferences based on linguistic cues and forward predictions obtained by incremental processing of syntactic/semantic information play crucial roles in the processing and learning of language.

    Using behavioral and neuro-physiological indices, we investigated the effects of syntactic structure and information structure on human sentence comprehension. The results revealed (1) that syntactic structure and information structure exhibited main effects and interaction not only in head-initial languages such as Finnish, but also in head-final languages such as Japanese, and that these two factors are processed incrementally without waiting for the input of a verb.

    In this research, we investigated whether English children can understand the parts which are deleted in certain types of sentences as adults do. We first theorized these types of sentences. Then, in order to see whether the children possess the grammar that we theorized, we executed a series of behavioral experiments. Our experimental results suggest that the children have the same kind of the grammar that adults use for interpreting the deleted parts in these types of sentences. Thus, our research could provide a piece of the evidence that children have already acquired the same kind of grammar that adults have.

    日本語は比較的語順が自由な言語で、「主語・目的語・動詞」の語順とともに「目的語・主語・動詞」の語順(かき混ぜ語順)も許される。後者の場合、目的語は元の位置に痕跡(trace)を残したまま主語の前へと移動するので、目的語の移動により派生されるかき混ぜ語順文は、移動のない基本語順文に比べ、より複雑な統語構造を持つという見解が理論言語学(Saito,1985;Hoji,1985)や心理言語学(中條,1983;Sakamoto,2002;Koizumi and Tamaoka,2004)の立場から支持されてきた。しかし、日本語を母語とするL1話者と日本語を第二言語として習得しているL2話者における日本語他動詞文の文処理過程を認知脳科学の立場から直接比較しようとする試みはまだ行われていない。そこでわれわれは日本語の上級L2話者(韓国人と中国人)を対象としてかき混ぜ語順文の文処理メカニズムを認知脳科学の立場から検証するためのfMRI実験を行った。その結果、被験者の母語の言語類型的な性質の違いにかかわらず、かき混ぜ語順文の反応時間や誤答率は日本人ネイティブとほぼ類似した傾向を見せた。本実験の結果と先行研究(Tamaoka, et. al.,2002;玉岡,2005)の結果はいずれも、日本語上級L2話者の場合、日本語母語話者と同様な文処理、つまり文頭の目的語を主語が出てくるまで保持し主語の次に埋め込む操作(gap・filling parsing)を行っていることを支持するものと考えられる。また、fMRIデータ解析の結果は、かき混ぜ語順文のほうが基本語順文に比べ、その処理により負荷がかかることを示すものであり、特にブローカ野の活動は習得年齢や被験者の母語とは別に、統語的に可能な文法規則の習得に特定化されるというMusso, et. al.(2003)の理論を支持するものである。

    The purpose of this study is to inquire into the cognitive mechanisms and their neurological basis fir the processing of compound words in spoken language comprehension. During the research period, we conducted the following five studies and presented the result at international conferences and published the papers in academic journals. (1) Behavioral studies on how phonological properties specific to compound words, the accent sill and the sequential voicing, affect the incremental compound processing. The results showed that native sinkers ran use these properties as effective cues for making forward prediction of up-coming elements. (2) Brain imaging studies on compound processing using Sal revealed that the left superior temporal gyms, as well as the bilateral superior temporal gyri and the bilateral insular, is recruited in the processing of auditorily presented compound words. (3) A series of studies on the effects of aspectual information in semantic processing was conducted. The results showed that mismatch between aspectual information increased cognitive bad of incremental sentence processing. (4) A behavioral study using self paced reading time measure and a neurological study using even-related potential measure were conducted on how and when processing load emerges in the processing of Japanese sentences with scrambled word order. Reading time increase was observed at the position of the nominative NP and the predicate. The brain potential component N400 was also observed at the position of the nominative NB (5) An eye-tracking study on sentence production was conducted using 'visual world paradigm'. The results suggested that lexical minding and structure assembly proceed in a parallel fashion in sentence production Sachiko Aoshima (Assistant Professor American University) and Jeff Lidz (Associae Professor University of Maryland, College Park) were invited to give seminars on recent development of sentence processing and language learning.

    In contrast to the remarkable feat of first language acquisition, adult second language acquisition typically results in 'miserable failure' if 'success' is defined as achieving native-like performance in every facet of the target second language. This research investigates the properties of mental computation in adult Japanese learners of English after sensitive periods. Both behavioral and neuroimaging data have been gathered on the processing of syntactic and semantic rules that have been claimed to be difficult to acquire. The data are now being analyzed but the neuroimaging data that we have so far gathered show that second language learners can get to know more than they have been taught. Several experiments were also conducted on instruction effects on the brain and nature of cortical mechanisms in second language learners. Detailed results and their implications are to be discussed in papers submitted to journals and Yusa (in preparation for publication).

    To investigate into the neurocognitive basis for the processing of verb morphology, we conducted (1)psycholinguistic, (2)neuroscientific, (3)quantitative linguistic, (4)theoretical linguistic, (5)connectionist modeling researches. A behavioral psycholinguistic experiment was conducted using a cross-modal priming paradigm. The results indicated that derived words with regular morphological relationship (verbs with a potential suffix) showed stronger priming effects compared to semantically related words with irregular morphological relationship (transitive/intransitive verbs). A neuroimaging study was conducted using fMRI as a joint research with Hiroshima Prefectural Rehabilitation Center. So-called Broca region in the inferior frontal gylus and temporal pole were activated when Japanese native speakers processed sentences with complex verb morphology. Event-related potential response was measured by electro-encepharography while Japanese native speakers were processing verb conjugation patterns. An ERP component called P600, a component associated with syntactic violations, was observed in expressions with morphological violation. A corpus study was conducted as to the distinction between so-called ‘syntactic compound verbs' and ‘lexical compound verbs'. The results of quantitative research supported the dichotomy of syntactic vs. lexical compound verbs assumed in theoretical linguistics. Theoretical linguistic studies on Japanese complex predicates, a connectionist modeling of acquisition of verb forms were conducted. International seminars were organized every year with leading researchers in the field of cognitive neuroscience of language, including Dr.Colin Phillips (University of Maryland, USA,2002), Dr.Liina Pylkkanen (New York University, USA,2003), and Dr.Matt Davis (Medical Research Council, UK,2004).
