    Language：English   Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Whether the word order which is iconic to the sequence of the event described in a sentence is easier to be aquired or not was examined with Japanese and Korean second language learners of English. The results seem to indicate that the iconicity principle plays a crucial role in the process.

  • Partial agreement in second-language acquisition

    O'Grady, William & Yoshie Yamashita

    Linguistics   40 ( 5 )   1011-1019   2002

    　More details

    Language：English   Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)  

    The partial agreement phenomenon was examined with Japanese learners of English. The results reveal that the partial agreement phenomenon found among Japanese second language learners corresponds to that of English native speakers which may require a certain cognitive account rather than a linguistic account.

    The acquisition of functional categories was examined based on Japanese demonstratives. The results from the experiments with 95 children reveals that the acquisition age for this particular category seems to concide with the age frame which has been proposed in Radford (1990).

  • The emergence of syntactic categories: Verbal nouns vs. intransitive verbs

    Meiji University, Journal of Humanities   11   87-96   2005

    　More details

    Language：English  

    The acquisition of verbal nouns and intransive verbs was examined based on the data from Japanese. The results indicate that verbal nouns which involve more than two arguments are acquired earlier than intransitive verbs with one argument, which seems to go against the universal word learning principles.

  • Relative clauses: Processing and acquisition in first and second language acquisition

    O'Grady, William, Yoshie Yamashita, Sookeun Cho, Miseon Lee, & Miho Choo

    Proceedings of the International Conference on Development of Mind   2000

    　More details

    Language：English  

    The acquisition of relative clauses was examined based on the data from first and second language acquisition, aphasic patients, and the two languages: Korean and Japanese. The overall results which indicate some asymetry between the subject and object relative clauses may imply certain processing factors involved in the acquisition process.

  • The use of two types of format for measuring students' oral proficiency

    Naruto University of Education, Working Papers   9   83-85   1999

    　More details

    Language：English  

    In order to measure students' English speaking ability, two types of format were compared: a subjective scale and an objective scale. The results indicate that the objective scale seems more reliable than the subjective one.

  • The acquisition of nouns and verbs in young Japanese children: Why do verbal nouns emerge early?

    Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Boston University Conference on Language Development   2   741-752   1998

    　More details

    Language：English  

    The acquisition of verbal nouns comes before that of regular verbs and the data was examined from a discourse perspective. The results seem to indicate that certain pragmatic factors play an important role in determining what kind of words are acquired before others.

  • Nouns are acquisired before verbs: Verbal nouns in Japanese children's early vocabulary

    Proceedings of the 27th Western Conference On Linguistics   10   523-532   1998

    　More details

    Language：English  

    Whether nouns are acquired before verbs was examined in this study based on the acquisition data from Japanese. Japanese verbal nouns which denote verb-like meanings and yet structually behave like nouns are acquired before regular verbs which seems to refute Getner's (1982) natural partitioning theory.

  • Surface-level constraints on interlanguage variation: Data from a Japanese learner's plural marking in English

    Meiji University of Pharmacy Working Papers   26   175-187   1996

    　More details

    Language：English  

    This study exmaines the speech of a Japanese learner in term of plural marking. It reveals that the determining factor for plural marking seems to be related to the surface-level variables which may involve some processing factors.
