Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed at elucidating the mental/neurological mechanisms involved in the word-level processing, focusing on (1) Japanese verb conjugation and (2) accent assignment in Japanese N-N compound formation. We conducted several experiments including ERP (Event-Related potential) measurement. Concerning (1), our findings suggest that some word-internal structure created by inflectional endings is processed in the same mechanism as the phrase structure level processing, and that the processing of the past tense (-ta) form with phonological irregularities (called onbin in Japanese grammar) involves a different mechanism from the processing of desiderative (-tai) form without onbin change. Concerning (2), we examined whether different types of violation elicits different ERP components.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

語の処理については、ネットワーク的記憶と演算処理という異なるメカニズムが関与するという立場と、一つのメカニズムのみが関与するとする立場との間の論争が長く続いている。本研究は、日本語の屈折・語形成にかかわる理論言語学的研究を踏まえ、ERP計測をはじめとする実験研究によって前者の立場を支持する証拠を示した。これは、理論言語学的研究と、心理・神経言語学的実験研究の協働による実証研究の意義を示すものであると言える。本研究グループのメンバーは、他分野の研究者や一般読者向けに、このような意義を伝えることにも力を注いできた。
