| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to examine how Japanese native speakers (JNS) and nonnative speakers (JNNS) process verbal inflection. We conducted two types of on-line tasks: masked priming tasks and judgment tasks using the made-up verbs and real verbs. The results indicated that JNS and JNNS might treat verbal conjugation differently. JNNS rely on explicit grammatical knowledge, whereas JNS rely more on implicit, exemplar-based knowledge. The results also suggested that the conjugation process of JNNS was affected by pronunciation difficulties, such as a double consonant.
