| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to investigate the acquisition of Argument Ellipsis, which has been observed in languages like Japanese and Korean. This study proposes the generalization that only languages that exhibit non-fusional case morphology allow Argument Ellipsis, and explains why such a generalization holds cross-linguistically. Also, this study demonstrates that Japanese-speaking children have knowledge of Argument Ellipsis. Given that direct evidence for the acquisition of Argument Ellipsis is limited, the results of the experiment lend further support to the theory of Argument Ellipsis proposed in this study, which claims that the acquisition of case markers triggers the acquisition of Argument Ellipsis.
