Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study verified the cognitive process and language expressions in describing events based on the data taken from our language experiments. Concerning the investigation of cognitive process, we showed the usefulness of the eye-tracking analysis, by revealing the differences in cognitive processes between Japanese native speakers and Japanese learners in speed-reading. As for the structure pattern of sentences in the descriptions, we found out the differences of classification of languages: comparing not only the first languages, but also on the acquisition of the second languages. With regard to the examination of the relationship between cognitive process and structure patterns, we analyzed the different tendencies of different languages such as Japanese and English in the passive voice structure. Finally, after all the discussions, we proposed a new method in the investigation of cognitive linguistics.
