本研究考察了英语学习者对二语日语中的非作动-非作动区分的习得情况。其目的是确定日语学习者是否对动词的词汇语义特征敏感，就像罗曼语学习者遵循分裂不及物性等级（Sorace，1993 a，1995 a）一样。两组学习者参加了这项研究，一组是以前没有接触过日语的学习者，另一组是在日本连续逗留9个月后的学习者。一组以日语为母语的对照组也参加了实验。受试者被测试了他们对非作格动词和非作格动词关于量词浮动的不同行为的知识（Miyagawa，1989）;本地组也被测试了格下降（Kageyama，1993）。结果表明，本族语者和非本族语者在对非作格动词的判断中都受到分裂不及物性层次的制约;然而，他们对非宾格动词的判断并没有按照预测形成模式。本文认为，这种差异是由于日语输入的非限定动词的歧义性造成的，非限定动词具有句法选择性。
This study investigates the acquisition of the unaccusative-unergative distinction in L2 Japanese by English learners. The aim is to establish whether learners of Japanese are sensitive to the lexical-semantic characteristics of verbs in similar ways as learners of Romance languages who were found to follow the Split Intransitivity Hierarchy (Sorace, 1993a, 1995a). Two groups of learners participated in the study, one consisting of learners who had not had any previous exposure to Japanese outside the classroom, and the other consisting of learners at the end of a 9-month period of continuous stay in Japan. A control group of native Japanese speakers also took part in the experiment. Subjects were tested on their knowledge of the different behavior of unaccusative and unergative verbs with respect to quantifier floating (Miyagawa, 1989); the native group was also tested on Case drop (Kageyama, 1993). The results show that both the native and the nonnative speakers are conditioned by the Split Intransitivity Hierarchy in their judgments on unergative verbs; however, their judgments on unaccusative verbs do not pattern according to the predictions. It is argued that this difference stems from the ambiguity of the Japanese input on unaccusative verbs, which are characterized by syntactic optionality.
