Outline of Final Research Achievements

Linguistic intuition has been the principal source of information especially for linguists working on syntactic and semantic analyses. It is, however, a well-known fact that intuition may be influenced by various biases. To evaluate the research method depending on linguistic intuition, we have examined the data used in the literature on the topics of voice and deixis. We have also attempted to materialize our findings as the data collection technique "structured elicitation".
