Interpreting Japanese Head-Internal Relative Clauses
Japanese has both head-external and head-internal relative clauses (HERC & HIRC). Example (1a) shows a standard HERC. In contrast, the HIRC in (1b) has the form of an independent sentence, the bold-faced head occurring inside the relative, and it is followed by the complementizer -no and a case morpheme that relates the internal head to the matrix verb. A core question is what the interpretatio...
متن کاملUnmet Expectations in the Comprehension of Relative Clauses in Japanese
In two self-paced reading experiments, subject relative clauses (e.g., 'the woman who saw the man') were read faster than object relative clauses ('the woman who the man saw') in Japanese. Previous formulations of working-memory factors do not predict the patterns observed. A preference to complete fragments as object relative clauses indicates that ambiguity and expectation are unlikely to exp...
متن کاملAnalysis of parenthetical clauses in spontaneous Japanese
In this paper, I will discuss the functional aspects of parenthetical clauses and sentences in spontaneous Japanese monologues. Parentheticals can be defined as syntactic elements that are instantly inserted in the middle of an ongoing utterance to add supplemental information and thus interrupts the fluent flow of speech production. Examples of parenthetical clauses/sentences that appeared in ...
متن کاملRelative Clauses
In this chapter, we examine the typology of relative clauses. We will define relative clauses as follows: (1) A relative clause (RC) is a subordinate clause which delimits the reference of an NP by specifying the role of the referent of that NP in the situation described by the RC. Since the NP whose reference is being delimited is in the matrix clause, we will call it NP mat , and we will call...
متن کاملSemantic Verb Classes in the Analysis of Head Gapping in Japanese Relative Clauses
This paper describes an attempt to identify case gapping instances of Japanese relative clauses, and disambiguate the case slot from which the gapping occurred. The method utilised relies principally on surface syntactic pattern matching, combined with adjunct-based verb classification and minimal semantic analysis of the head. Experimentation produced an 90% accuracy in identifying and disambi...
