Research Abstract

The main purpose of this project was to investigate the possibility of the natural language study as the foundation of brain (cognitive) sciences. At this point, the basic methodology of this empirically scientific natural-language study is to examine the human-brain reaction to the acceptability judgment by means of the syntactic tests.
This on-going project awaits the publication as a book under the tentative title "A Reference Guide of Diagnostics in Generative Syntax-Data from English, Hindi, and Japanese "During my sabbatical leave at MIT, I asked Prof. Noam Chomsky if this manuscript is significant enough to publish. He encouraged me to publish it because it is an extremely valuable work both for professional linguists and Linguistics students. At the same time, I specifically studied symmetry breaking in terms of word order-structure and the symmetric c-command, or mutual c-command (Miyagawa 1989). The results are reported in Arikawa (2001), Miyagawa and Arikawa (2003), Arikawa (2004a), Arikawa (2004b), and MIyagawa and Arikawa (2004). I have also collaborated with Prof. Shigeru Miyagawa at MIT on the issue of the symmetric c-command, the result of which is now in the form of a manuscript that we are preparing to publish in the near future.
