Outline of Final Research Achievements

Investigtaing the learning process of L2 English learners on particlular grammar elements and constructions, such as the definite article and comparative construction, we attempted to clarify the relations between their English level and leaning level and even explain the influence and delay observed in the learning process in terms of their L1 grammmars. Specifically, we, first, attempted to see if the iota operator, the semnatic conuterpart to the definite article, is available in Japanese grammar. As a result, we could not see positive evidence to show that Japanes Englsih L2 learners have established their interlanguage with the operator available. When it comes to English compartaives, we also observed that their lerning processes are partly influenced by their L1 grammar systems.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

第二言語習得に関しては、統語論研究を基軸とした研究が成果を出してきた。一方、意味論を絡めた第二言語習得研究はそう多くないと思われる。その点では、今回の研究は学術的意義があるものと思われる。英語の定冠詞の習得に関しては、L2学習者の母国語の機能範疇(DP)の特性から習得の影響や遅延に関して研究がなされてきたが、本研究では、機能範疇自体、さらには定冠詞の意味論上演算子であるイオタの存在を疑う研究報告を提示した。意味論的知見を盛り込まなければ実施できない研究であった。
