Speakers of verb-initial languages and verb-medial languages interpret the world differently: A comparative study of Truku Seediq and English. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition (Collaboration) 2025/10 |
| Language | English | | Publication Date | 2025/10 | | Type | Research Paper (Scientific Journal) | | Peer Review | With peer review | | Title | Speakers of verb-initial languages and verb-medial languages interpret the world differently: A comparative study of Truku Seediq and English. | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition | | Journal Type | Another Country | | International coauthorship | International coauthorship | | Author and coauthor | Manami Sato,Yingyi Luo,Amy J Schafer,Apay Ai-Yu Tang,Hajime Ono,Hiromu Sakai,Masatoshi Koizumi | | Details | Recent gesture studies investigating how speakers linearize events in which one entity acts on another have claimed that the preferred order is [subject/agent]-[object/patient]-[verb/action] (SOV/APV) irrespective of language background (Schouwstra et al., 2022; Goldin-Meadow et al., 2008). However, these studies have only tested speakers of languages in which the subject/agent preferentially precedes the object/patient. We provide a stronger test of this cognitive-universal hypothesis using elicited pantomime (plus a spoken-language comparison task) with speakers of Truku Seediq, which favors the typologically rare VOS/VPA word order, and English-speaking controls. While the English speakers' pantomimes largely employed the expected SOV/APV and SVO/AVP orders, the Truku Seediq speakers produced almost no APV sequences. The results strengthen the evidence for processing effects that promote SVO/AVP order under certain conditions, and further support the claim that the habitual use of a language may cumulatively influence speakers' cognitive activities as they are interpreting the world. The divergent preferences for the two typologically different languages suggest that language experience can change conceptual accessibility, especially in terms of action saliency, in speakers' cognition.

Sentential inference bridging between lexical/grammatical knowledge and text comprehension among native Chinese speakers learning Japanese PLOS ONE 18(4),pp.e0284331-e0284331 (Collaboration) 2023/04 |
| Language | English | | Publication Date | 2023/04 | | Type | Research Paper (Scientific Journal) | | Peer Review | With peer review | | Title | Sentential inference bridging between lexical/grammatical knowledge and text comprehension among native Chinese speakers learning Japanese | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | PLOS ONE | | Journal Type | Another Country | | Publisher | Public Library of Science (PLoS) | | Volume, Issue, Pages | 18(4),pp.e0284331-e0284331 | | International coauthorship | International coauthorship | | Author and coauthor | Katsuo Tamaoka,Hiromu Sakai,Yayoi Miyaoka,Hajime Ono,Michiko Fukuda,Yuxin Wu,Rinus G. Verdonschot | | Details | The current study explored the role of sentential inference in connecting lexical/grammatical knowledge and overall text comprehension in foreign language learning. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), causal relationships were examined between four latent variables: lexical knowledge, grammatical knowledge, sentential inference, and text comprehension. The study analyzed 281 Chinese university students learning Japanese as a second language and compared two causal models: (1) the partially-mediated model, which suggests that lexical knowledge, grammatical knowledge, and sentential inference concurrently influence text comprehension, and (2) the wholly-mediated model, which posits that both lexical and grammatical knowledge impact sentential inference, which then further affects text comprehension. The SEM comparison analysis supported the wholly-mediated model, showing sequential causal relationships from lexical knowledge to sentential inference and then to text comprehension, without significant contribution from grammatical knowledge. The results indicate that sentential inference serves as a crucial bridge between lexical knowledge and text comprehension. | | DOI | 10.1371/journal.pone.0284331 | | ISSN | 1932-6203 | | PermalinkURL | https://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0284331 | |

An experimental reassessment of complex NP islands with NP-scrambling in Japanese Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 7(1) (Collaboration) 2022/03 |
| Language | English | | Publication Date | 2022/03 | | Type | Research Paper (Scientific Journal) | | Peer Review | With peer review | | Title | An experimental reassessment of complex NP islands with NP-scrambling in Japanese | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | Glossa: a journal of general linguistics | | Journal Type | Another Country | | Publisher | Open Library of the Humanities | | Volume, Issue, Pages | 7(1) | | International coauthorship | International coauthorship | | Author and coauthor | Shin Fukuda,Nozomi Tanaka,Hajime Ono,Jon Sprouse | | Details | There is little consensus in the Japanese syntax literature on the question of whether complex NPs with a noun complement headed by toyuu ‘that.say’ are islands for NP-scrambling dependencies. To explore this question, we conducted two acceptability judgment experiments using the factorial definition of islands to test the status of noun complements, relative clauses (which are also complex NPs, and uniformly considered islands in the literature), and coordinated NP structures (which are also uniformly considered islands in the literature). Our first experiment yielded strong evidence that relative clauses and coordinated NPs are islands (as expected), and strong evidence that noun complements are not. Our second experiment also found strong evidence that relative clauses and coordinated NPs are islands, but yielded a small, non-significant, trend toward an effect with noun complements. Based on the sizes of our samples (89 and 90 participants, respectively), the sizes of the effects, and the details of the acceptability patterns, we conclude that noun complements in Japanese are not islands with respect to NP-scrambling. We also investigated between- and within-participant variability in our results. We observe no evidence of increased between-participant variability for noun complements relative to other islands, and no increase of within-participant variability for noun complements relative to scrambling out of (non-island) declarative CPs. Our results have consequences for a number of issues that have been encoded in current syntactic theories of island effects, including the correlation between syntactic constituent complexity and island status (e.g., number of bounding nodes or phase heads), and the correlation between complementizer deletion and island status (e.g., the complement/adjunct distinction). | | DOI | 10.16995/glossa.5737 | | ISSN | 2397-1835 | | PermalinkURL | https://www.glossa-journal.org/article/5737/galley/21696/download/ | |

Syntax and processing in Seediq: a behavioral study Journal of East Asian Linguistics 29(2),pp.237-258 (Collaboration) 2020/05 |

Syntactic properties such as word orders are a major factor determining the difficulty of a sentence. In SO-type languages where the subject (S) precedes the object (O) in canonical word order, there is clear evidence that the SO word order is preferred over the OS word order. We investigate to what extent this SO bias is maintained even in typologically diverse languages like Truku, an Austronesian language, in which the Verb-Object-Subject (VOS) word order is canonical and a syntactically basic structure, and SVO is the derived word order and a syntactically more complex structure. It is important to investigate word order preferences in Truku because such inquiries allow us to determine to what extent these widely observed processing preferences are grounded in properties of the linguistic system and/or somewhat more general human cognitive properties. The syntactic complexity account predicts that, in Truku, the derived SVO word order should be more costly, while the saliency account predicts that the word orders in which an agent precedes a theme is preferred. Our auditory comprehension experiment showed that the OS word order was preferred by native speakers of Truku. This indicates that the often-observed SO preference is not a universal feature of language. Furthermore, the lack of a clear indication of the agent-before-theme preference suggests a correlation between the voice property of a given language and the importance of the saliency factor. | | DOI | 10.1007/s10831-020-09207-7 | | ISSN | 0925-8558/1572-8560 | | PermalinkURL | https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10831-020-09207-7.pdf | | URL for researchmap | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10831-020-09207-7/fulltext.html | |

Grammatical Function Assignment and Word Order Determination in Japanese Sentence Production : Evidence from Structural Priming Effects in a Picture Description Task IEICE technical report pp.25-30 (Collaboration) 2011/07 |
| Language | Japanese | | Publication Date | 2011/07 | | Type | Research Paper | | Title | Grammatical Function Assignment and Word Order Determination in Japanese Sentence Production : Evidence from Structural Priming Effects in a Picture Description Task | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | IEICE technical report | | Journal Type | Japan | | Publisher | The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers | | Volume, Issue, Pages | pp.25-30 | | Author and coauthor | DENG Ying,ONO Hajime,SAKAI Hiromu | | Details | Using a structural priming paradigm, the details of sentence production model have been investigated substantially, specifically the processes in grammatical encoding level. Many studies provide evidence that the function assignment stage and the constituent assembly stage are processes separately in grammatical encoding. However, it is less known whether these two stages are interacted with each other during the production processes, and if so, how the processes are executed. In this study, we report a structural priming experiment in Japanese, in which function assignment and word order were manipulated independently and simultaneously in order to examine the processes at two stages directly. Our results revealed that priming effects patterns were different depending on whether the effects occur at function assignment stage or at constituent assembly stage. | | ISSN | 0913-5685 | | NAID | 110008801309 | | PermalinkURL | http://id.ndl.go.jp/bib/11240404 | |

Why object clefts are easier to process than subject clefts in Japanese : Frequency or expectation? IEICE technical report 111(170),pp.67-72 (Collaboration) 2011/07 |
| Language | English | | Publication Date | 2011/07 | | Type | Research Paper | | Title | Why object clefts are easier to process than subject clefts in Japanese : Frequency or expectation? | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | IEICE technical report | | Journal Type | Japan | | Publisher | The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers | | Volume, Issue, Pages | 111(170),pp.67-72 | | Author and coauthor | KAHRAMAN Baris,SATO Atsushi,ONO Hajime,SAKAI Hiromu | | Details | Previous studies have shown that both frequency and expectation for upcoming structures play an important role on sentence processing. However, it is still unclear which one of these factors has a stronger impact on sentence processing. In order to explore the possible effects of frequency and expectation; we conducted a corpus analysis in Japanese in the current study. We first calculated the distribution and transitional probabilities of subject and object clefts, and then compared them with reading time data in our previous study. The results showed the number of subject clefts was higher than object clefts, whereas transitional probability of object clefts was higher than subject clefts at the embedded verb position. The results indicate that expectation can account for the processing difficulty of clefts in Japanese, whereas the simple frequency failed to explain the processing difficulty. | | ISSN | 0913-5685 | | NAID | 110008801317 | | PermalinkURL | http://id.ndl.go.jp/bib/11240493 | |

Effects of Noun Phrase Animacy and Predicate Type on Word Order Alternation in Three-Place Predicate Constructions : An ERP Investigation IEICE technical report pp.63-66 (Collaboration) 2009 |
| Language | Japanese | | Publication Date | 2009 | | Type | Research Paper | | Title | Effects of Noun Phrase Animacy and Predicate Type on Word Order Alternation in Three-Place Predicate Constructions : An ERP Investigation | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | IEICE technical report | | Journal Type | Japan | | Publisher | The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers | | Volume, Issue, Pages | pp.63-66 | | Author and coauthor | SAKAI Hiromu,HAMADA Kaori,CHIU Rosalynn,LONG Shengyan,DENG Ying,ONO Hajime,NITTONO Hiroshi | | Details | Koso, Soshi and Hagiwara (2007) examined word order alternation between a dative NP and an accusative NP in Japanese Ditransitive constructions using Event-Related Brain Potentials (ERP). They compared different lexical items and NPs with different animacy, an animate dative NP and an inanimate accusative NP. Their results might be biased by these uncontrolled factors that yield expectation for a specific predicate type. This study used ditransitive sentences with an inanimate dative NP and an inanimate accusative NP that are exchangeable without changed plausibility of sentences and recorded ERPs when the participants read the sentence phrase-by-phrase. LAN (Left Anterior Negativity) was observed when the participants read an accusative NP in sentences with Dative-Accusative Word order. This result suggests that canonical word order can be determined through interaction of multiple factors such as the predicate type and the noun phrase animacy. | | ISSN | 0913-5685 | | NAID | 110007360556 | | PermalinkURL | http://id.ndl.go.jp/bib/10307098 | |

Effects of Noun Phrase Animacy and Word Order in Sentence Production : An Eye-Tracking Study using Visual World Paradigm IEICE technical report pp.39-44 (Collaboration) 2009 |

In this study, we examined whether the speakers show the similar gaze pattern when they produced sentences with the non-subject first word order. Animacy of the NP was also manipulated in order to examine its effects in sentence production. The result revealed that the gaze-utterance correspondence is invariant even when the speakers produce sentences with the non-subject first word order. It is also found that animacy has an impact on grammatical function assignment in that the assignment of subject grammatical function to an animate NP is less costly than its assignment to an inanimate NP. | | ISSN | 0913-5685 | | NAID | 110007360560 | | PermalinkURL | http://id.ndl.go.jp/bib/10307040 | |

Increased processing cost due to unresolved dependency induced by Japanese negative adverbs IEICE technical report pp.17-22 (Collaboration) 2007 |
| Language | Japanese | | Publication Date | 2007 | | Type | Research Paper | | Title | Increased processing cost due to unresolved dependency induced by Japanese negative adverbs | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | IEICE technical report | | Journal Type | Japan | | Publisher | The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers | | Volume, Issue, Pages | pp.17-22 | | Author and coauthor | CHIU Rosalynn S.,ONO Hajime,SAKAI Hiromu | | Details | Unresolved syntactic dependency leads to cost increase in processing. Recent studies on Japanese wh-interrogatives showed that absence of the required clause-final question particle in the earliest grammatically possible position leads to a reading time slowdown (Typing Mismatch Effect; Miyamoto & Takahashi, 2003; Aoshima, Phillips, & Weinberg, 2004). Since Japanese negative adverbs and negative predicates also form dependencies, a question arises whether a similar observation holds for processing negative adverbs. This study shows that unresolved dependency induced by Japanese negative adverbs results to a reading time slowdown as an indication of increase in processing cost. | | ISSN | 0913-5685 | | NAID | 110006381509 | | PermalinkURL | http://id.ndl.go.jp/bib/8843442 | |

The present study investigates the possibility of applying the same model in Japanese, a head-final language, with the use of a sentence completion task to examine the SP effects in the production of passives. Results show that the spreading-activation-based model can also be applied in Japanese. Moreover, implications to the sentence production mechanism in Japanese were scrutinized, viewing from the predictive mechanism proposed in the field of sentence processing. | | ISSN | 0913-5685 | | NAID | 110006381511 | | PermalinkURL | http://id.ndl.go.jp/bib/8843511 | |

At the same time, there are numerous unsolved issues remain with respect to the exact nature of prediction, especially how the semantic content of a sentence is predicted and eventually computed in real-time sentence processing. In this project, we focus on a phenomenon called aspectual coercion, which is part of the semantic computation processes. We ran several behavioral experiments, using sentences in which we manipulated time adverbials, floating numeral quantifiers, as well as verb types. We examined detailed processes regarding to semantic computation, and how semantic information impacts on the real-time sentence processing. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-15K02529 | |

How does grammar emerge in the human brain?: An insight from the East Asian comparative cognitive neuroscience of language (Key Word : ) |
| Research Period | 2015/04/01～2020/03/31 | | Research Topic | How does grammar emerge in the human brain?: An insight from the East Asian comparative cognitive neuroscience of language | | Research Type | KAKENHI Research | | Consignor | Japan Society for the Promotion of Science | | Research Program Type | Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A) | | Research Institute | Waseda University | | Researcher/Collaborator | Sakai Hiromu | | Details | The question why languages in the world have their own grammar has been addressed among researchers on historical changes in language and biological evolution of human being. The present study approaches this problem from the cognitive neuroscience perspective. This approach aims to answer the question how the mechanisms for real-time language processing comes to be integrated into the functions of human brain. As a result of this study, we revealed the characteristics of phonological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic processing of language through a series of experiment measuring brain activities during language comprehension or production. Furthermore, we conducted a study on building a computational model of language learning and examined its validity in light of experimental data. The result showed that models that incorporate direction of the rules are more effective than previous models without such consideration. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-15H01881 | |

We got the following results by generalized linear mixed models: the subject participants read fast at the bunsetsu with many dependency, the clause boundaries.
It is also observed that the reading time of nominal phrase is longer than the verbal phrase. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-25284083 | |

Cognitive neuroscientific approaches to grammatical dependency and its integration processes: A case study of grammatical illusions (Key Word : ) |

In the psycholinguistic literature, those connections among words and phrases are called grammatical dependencies. We examined the processing mechanism of grammatical dependencies through an observation called grammatical illusions where the processing mechanism failed the accurate processing. We investigated whether and how the length in the dependency influences the processing of the grammatical dependencies, and its relation to the grammatical illusion cases. Also, a few comparisons were made with respect to the type of dependencies and examined the strength of the effects. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-24720195 | |

(I) Design: Formal properties of the fundamental syntactic computational operations Merge and Search, together with their neural substrates, have been identified. (II) Development: Correlations between parameter setting in first/second language acquisition and brain functions have been discovered. Selective functions of BA44/45 in Broca's area with respect to Merge have been elucidated. (III) Evolution: On the basis of philosophical considerations of biology and archaeological evidence, a theory of the motor control origin of syntax and a theory of earlier emergence of human language have been proposed. The cultural evolutionary nature of certain syntactic phenomena including Case and agreement has been clarified in relation to their effects on externalization. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-23242025 | |

We found in Kaqchikel: (1) The syntactically basic word order, VOS, induces less processing load than other grammatically possible word orders in this language such as SVO; (2) Despite that, SVO is more frequently used than VOS; (3) As in SO languages such as Japanese and English, in Kaqchikel, the most natural order that the speaker imposes on events when describing and reconstructing them nonverbally (= order of thought) is "Actor-Patinet", which corresponds to SO order in language. These results, taken together, show that the primary factor that determines processing load is different from the one that determines production frequencies, which calls for a new psycholinguistic theory that is equally applicable to SO and OS-type languages. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-22222001 | |

We focused on the processing of syntactic dependencies such as the negative polarity relation(sika. nai) and the wh-questions, and found that the processing of these relations showed different patterns from the processing of more basic, thematic relations, indicating that the former may utilize a different memory thread than the latter. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-21320083 | |

A particular type of Japanese wh-interrogative sentences, namely "aggressively non-D-linked wh-interrogative sentences", played a crucial role in the study to investigate the properties of the human sentence processor, with particular relation to the working memory system. Also, detailed procedures were examined that are involved in processing English multiple wh-interrogative sentences. It was argued that backward search is crucially involved, and it was suggested that Japanese in situ wh-phrases are processed somewhat differently. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-21720152 | |

Neurocognitive Mechanisms for Language Learning through Input-Output Processing (Key Word : ) |
| Research Period | 2008～2010 | | Research Topic | Neurocognitive Mechanisms for Language Learning through Input-Output Processing | | Research Type | KAKENHI Research | | Consignor | Japan Society for the Promotion of Science | | Research Program Type | Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) | | Research Institute | Hiroshima University | | Researcher/Collaborator | SAKAI Hiromu,SAKODA Kumiko,HATASA Yukiko,KOIZUMI Masatoshi,MAKIOKA Shogo,GORO Takuya,ONO Hajime,AMY Schafer,COLIN Phillips | | Details | This study investigated into the process of comprehension (input) and production (output) of language as well as language learning through input/output processing by native Japanese speakers and Japanese language learners. Adopting the working hypothesis that neural networks are shaped through experience, we conducted behavioral, eye-tracking, and event-related potential experiments. We found that semantic inferences based on linguistic cues and forward predictions obtained by incremental processing of syntactic/semantic information play crucial roles in the processing and learning of language. | | Permalink URL | https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-20320060 | |
