概要:

Departmental Bulletin Paper<br />In linguistic research, theoretical linguistics, psycho-linguistics, and foreign-language learning have been\nstudied in their own ways. To establish their organic relationship, I will propose a model of knowledge\ncycle. A driving force for the cycle is sentences containing grammatical errors made by foreign-language\nlearners (e.g., *John like apples). The ungrammaticalness of each sentence can be tested by … psycho-linguistic\nexperiments such as acceptability judgments, reaction-time tasks. Attested ungrammatical sentences can\nbe used for theory construction in theoretical linguistics. Insights gained through such error analysis can be\napplied to devise effective input for efficient learning of foreign languages. Based on further learning, learners\nproduce a new set of ungrammatical sentences, which drives the cycle again. In this paper, I will\ndescribe the proposal and discuss its theoretical implications. Particularly, I will adopt the generative syntactic\nframework and analyze some of the ungrammatical sentences collected from Japanese learners of\nEnglish as a foreign language. The results show that among three factors (Merge, interface conditions, and\nnatural laws), interface conditions, particularly conceptual-intentional (CI) interface conditions, are crucial\nto account for the ungrammaticality. 続きを見る
