This research investigates, based on experimental data from Japanese learners of English, the implications of second language (L2) learners' errors with respect to the operation of Universal Grammar (UG). Specifically, it is argued that the non-target-like properties that arise in the course of L2 acquisition of pied-piping, tough, and unaccusative constructions are not the result of 'wild' or UG-incompatible grammars, but that they constitute a case of the poverty of the stimulus effect, thereby providing evidence for the operation of UG in L2 acquisition. The Strong Continuity Hypothesis in L2 acquisition is proposed whereby each state that is attained during the course of L2 acquisition falls within the boundaries set by UG. This study also examines the role of positive and negative evidence in L2 acquisition. The results so far are not conclusive, but suggest that positive and negative evidence based on surface properties do not preempt L2 learners' errors. Detailed arguments are to be given in Yusa (in preparation for publication).

本研究基于日本英语学习者的实验数据，探讨了第二语言学习者在通用语法（UG）操作方面的错误。具体来说，本文认为，在二语习得过程中出现的非目标样属性，如管道、坚韧和非宾格结构，并不是“狂野”或UG不兼容语法的结果，而是它们构成了刺激效应缺乏的一种情况，从而为UG在二语习得中的作用提供了证据。提出了二语习得的强连续性假设，即在二语习得过程中所达到的每个状态都在UG设定的边界内。本研究还探讨了积极证据和消极证据在二语习得中的作用。到目前为止，结果还不是结论性的，但表明基于表面性质的正面和负面证据并不能预先阻止第二语言学习者的错误。详细的论据将在Yusa（准备出版）中给出。
