| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the Generative Grammar tradition, comparative syntax has been focused intensively for a long time, while it has been not much discussed in the Construction Grammar developed in the field of Cognitive Linguistics. This research, as a case study, conducted a comparison with respect to basic argument structure constructions (intransitive construction, intransitive motion construction, transitive construction, ditransitive construction) in German, English and Japanese from a Cognitive Construction Grammar perspective. As a result, it became clear that the differences in these languages can be attributed to the fundamental tendencies observable in each language.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、統語的パターン自体が意味を持つという構文文法の立場から、ドイツ語、英語、日本語の基本構文の比較を行った。類似する基本構文は典型的な場合、どの言語でも似た状況を言語化するのに使われるが、それがどの程度広く、またどのような条件で使われるかに関しては、言語ごとに差異がある。この差異が外国語学習の際の障害となりうる。本研究はそのような差異を明確化した点で、これらの言語を外国語として学ぶ学習者にとって有益となるものである。
