Research Abstract

English compound nouns (Noun+Verb+-er,e.g.,cat eater) are productive. It has been reported that children learning English as their mother tongue and Spanish speaking learners of English as a second language produce errors in places where this kind of compound should be used. The results of two experiments in this study showed that Japanese speaking learners of English also make errors but the kinds of errors are different from those produced by other learners. Based on data from previous studies and from this study, it was suggested that the errors are attributable to : 1) the application of syntactic rules to morphological operations, and 2) errors in the use of other morphemes (i.e.,-ing).
