项目摘要

L1 research: We conducted a series of experiments to investigate young children's interpretation of the focus particles mo "also" and dake "only". It was observed that Japanese-speaking children gave similar response patterns to those reported in studies of the acquisition of English and German: they do not necessarily rely on syntactic information in their interpretation of sentences which contain a focus expression. Follow-up sessions revealed that children's non-adult response patterns are reversed depending on whether the focus particle is followed by a Case particle or not. Additional experiments were conducted to elicit the two opposite response patterns from the same child. Finally, we suggested that the subject-oriented response (the most frequent pattern for dake without a Case particle) is influenced by word order, based on an analysis of young Japanese children's spontaneous speech data. Syntactic research: We proposed the hypothesis that mo is a functional head with its focus target in the Spec position, while dake is merged to its target. In addition, we claimed that a derivational approach is most suitable to capture the distribution of focus expressions. Using this theoretical apparatus, we analyzed (1) the relationship between the lexical-semantic property of only and compositional semantics based on choice function binding and (2) the observation that a focus expression can avoid the intervention effect by scrambling. Finally, we argued that the structural relationship required for semantic interpretation of focus expressions is established at the overt level. We also considered the possibility of investigating children's acquisition of focus expressions within the Lexical Parameterization Hypothesis.

母语研究：我们进行了一系列的实验来考察幼儿对焦点助词“也”和“只是”的理解。有人指出，讲日语的儿童给了类似的反应模式，在英语和德语的收购研究报告：他们不一定依赖于句法信息，在他们的解释句子，其中包含一个重点表达。后续会议显示，儿童的非成人的反应模式是相反的，这取决于焦点粒子后面是否跟着一个情况粒子或没有。另外还进行了一些实验，以从同一个孩子身上引出两种相反的反应模式。最后，我们建议，以主题为导向的反应（最常见的模式，没有一个情况下粒子）的词序的影响，根据日本幼儿的自发语音数据的分析。句法研究：我们提出了这样的假设，即mo是一个功能中心语，其焦点目标位于Spec位置，而dake则与其目标合并。此外，我们声称，衍生的方法是最适合捕捉的焦点表情的分布。利用这一理论工具，我们分析了（1）only的词汇语义属性与基于选择函数绑定的组合语义之间的关系，以及（2）焦点表达式可以通过扰乱来避免干扰效应的观察结果。最后，我们认为，结构关系所需的语义解释的焦点表达式是建立在显性水平。我们还考虑了在词汇参数化假设下研究儿童习得焦点表达的可能性。
