Outline of Final Research Achievements

We annotated reading times of 24 Japanese native speakers. We overlaid several annotations on the reading time data. For example, syntactic dependency, clause boundaries, the category of `Word List by Semantic Principles', and information structure labels.
We got the following results by generalized linear mixed models: the subject participants read fast at the bunsetsu with many dependency, the clause boundaries.
It is also observed that the reading time of nominal phrase is longer than the verbal phrase.
