Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on the Japanese, English, Chinese, and Tagalog languages, our research project has explored similarities and differences in linguistic knowledge and language processing among heritage language speakers, native speakers, and second language learners through various empirical methodologies. In particular, we have examined the production and comprehension of relative clauses in Chinese, Japanese and Tagalog, the interpretation of reflexive pronouns in Japanese through a look-while-listening eye tracking experiment (Eye Link 1000, SR Research, Inc.), and the second language acquisition of English articles and multiple adjective ordering, and found evidence of both cross-linguistic effects as well as universal properties.
