| Research Abstract |
Through a contrastive linguistic study of Japanese and English, we investigated how Japanese and English grammar are affected by discourse factors related to the type of discourse and its internal structure. In particular, we showed (1) what parts of grammar are affected by different discourse types, (2) what major cognitive factors characterize the discourse types affecting grammar, and (3) how Japanese and English vary as to the parts of grammar affected by different discourse types.
