本文考察了Tsunoda(1981,1985,1991)提出的及物谓词及物性标尺对以印地语为外语的日语学习者习得日语宾语格助词wo的难易程度的解释价值。Tsunoda指出，谓词可以按及物性递减的顺序进行跨语言排序，分为以下类型-直接影响>；>；感知>；>；追求>；>；知识>；感觉>；关系。及物性量表预测，学习者更有可能将层次最高的谓词分析为及物性，从而将直接宾语NP标记为wo。相反，层次较低的谓词更有可能被分析为不及物，因此由格助词标记，而不是wo。52名大学阶段学习者的习得数据证实了谓词属于及物性量表(直接效果-感觉，关系)极端情况下的预测。然而，这一预测并不适用于中间类型，马尔丘科夫(2005)对及物性量表的重新分析版本更好地解释了这一点。结果表明，学习者的母语中，格助词的选择既受谓词类型的影响，也受单个动词的格框架的影响。
This paper examines the explanatory value of the transitivity scale of two-place predicates proposed by Tsunoda (1981, 1985, 1991) as applied to the ease or difficulty of the acquisition of the Japanese object case particle wo by Hindi speaking learners of Japanese as a foreign language. Tsunoda notes that predicates can be ranked cross-linguistically in the order of decreasing transitivity into the following types – Direct effect >> Perception >> Pursuit >> Knowledge >> Feeling >> Relation. The transitivity scale predicts that learners are more likely to analyze predicates highest in the hierarchy as transitive, and therefore mark the direct object NP with wo. Inversely, predicates lower in the hierarchy are more likely to be analyzed as intransitive, and therefore be marked by case particles other than wo. Acquisition data from 52 college-age learners divided into three proficiency levels bears out the predication in the case of predicates belonging to the extreme ends of the transitivity scale (Direct effect – Feeling, Relation). However, the prediction does not hold true for the intermediate types, which are better explained by Malchukov’s (2005) re-analyzed version of the transitivity scale. The results show that case particle selection is influenced by both predicate type as well as the case frame of individual verbs in the learner’s mother tongue.
