Interaction of language frequencies and working memory for Japanese embedded clause processing

说日语的人对英语数字的认同(眼球跟踪)：这项实验测量了英语中分词短语的加工，例如，“One of the Dogers/*Dog”和“Two of the Dogers/*Dog”。以前的研究认为，“*其中一只狗”的短语类型可能存在语法错觉效应，因为1和狗之间的正常数字一致需要零语素，尽管这里的分词短语需要复数-S。眼球跟踪研究结果的分析正在进行中。日语受试者的英语关系从句加工与回指分辨(眼睛追踪)：本研究测量了关系从句的加工以及在反身照应下的加工。这项研究旨在证明JEFL在反身性回指(例如，“被警卫/女佣撞到的管家自己开车去医院”)中可能会产生干扰或侵扰效应。在前一年，我使用行为任务进行了这项实验，发现反身式的入侵效应。因此，这项研究是为了确认/验证这一发现。对结果的分析正在进行中。日语对补语从句中主语和宾语PRO-DROP的加工与日语RCS(迷宫任务)的加工比较：本研究比较了补语从句中主语/宾语PRO-DROP与日语中主语/宾语PRO-DROP和没有PRO-DROP的补语从句中主语/宾语PRO-DROP的加工，以确定是否存在与PRO-DROP相关的加工成本，并将这一成本与RC加工的填充间隙移动的加工成本进行比较。对结果的分析正在进行中。

English number agreement by Japanese speakers (eyetracking): This experiment measured the processing of partitive phrases in English, for example, “one of the dogs/*dog” vs. “two of the dogs/*dog”. Previous studies argued that there can be a grammatical illusion effect for “*one of the dog” phrase types because normal number agreement between one and dog requires the null morpheme despite partitive phrases here requiring a plural -s. The analysis of the results of the eye-tracking study is ongoing. English relative clause processing and anaphora resolution by Japanese speakers (eyetracking): This study measured the processing of RCs as well as measured their processing at the reflexive anaphor. This study was to show JEFLs could have interference or intrusion effects at the reflexive anaphor (e.g., “The butler who the guard/maid hit drove himself to the hospital”. In the previous year, I had conducted this experiment using behavioral tasks and found an intrusion effect at the reflexive. As such, this study was to confirm/validate the finding. The analysis of the results is ongoing. Japanese processing of subject and object pro-drop within complement clauses compared to the processing of Japanese RCs (maze task): This study compared the subject/object pro-drop within complement clauses to that of subject/object RCs in Japanese and complement clauses with no pro-drop to determine if there is a processing cost associated with pro-drop and compare this cost to the processing cost of filler-gap movement of RC processing. The analysis of the results is ongoing.
