Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project focuses on the nominative/accusative objects in terms of their syntactic, information structural, and prosodic behaviors, making use of empirical data from experiments in Japanese and Korean. We have conducted experiments with acceptability judgment and perceptual tasks in order to analyze the phenomenon from a various point of views. The findings tell us that the use of the nominative/accusative objects is affected by information structure of a sentence. In addition, the data provides new evidence to support the hypothesis that the particle ‘ga’ functions as information structural focus, and ‘wa’ covers old information other than topic.
