| Research Abstract |
Learner corpora have been mostly used for lexical and grammatical analysis so far, and little discourse level research has been done on English learners’ spoken data. In this research project, we constructed a multimodal task-based dialogue in Japanese and in English, which collected dialogues from native English speaker pairs, native Japanese speaker pairs and Japanese English learner pairs. Cognitive linguistics, psychological linguistics and conversation analysis were used to analyze the data. We compared native speakers’ language behavior and Japanese English learners’, and presented strategies for aiding learners in learning patterns of conversation structure and information structure.
