| 抄録 | （和） | Language comprehension causes the retrieval of listeners prior perceptual and motor experiences, and this retrieval generates perceptual-motor simulations of the described scenes ([1], [2]). The internal mechanisms of mental simulation have been investigated in terms of (1) unit simulation size (single word vs. context) and (2) grammatical aspect. Processing an isolated word (e.g., 'calculator') activates intrinsic knowledge of the object (e.g., color, shape, and size) as well as related interactional knowledge ([3]). Contextual information, however, is able to override the object痴 intrinsic properties and dynamically produce contextually appropriate representations ([4]). Grammatical aspect, encoded in the progressive or perfect tense, generates simulations with different time-points for the event ([5]). Additionally, mental simulation adopts particular perspectives denoted by 1st and 3rd person subjects ([6], [7]). Contextual information along with grammatical aspect are the defining factors of simulation. In the current studies on Japanese, we address three questions: 1) is the emergence of perspective language-dependent? (Experiment 1); 2) can elements of prior discourse drive listeners to adopt a perspective in the absence of an explicit subject? (Experiment 2); 3) what role do explicit perspective markers (i.e., subject pronouns) play in simulation? Experiment 1: Japanese speakers read three sentences with explicit subject pronouns and decided if a depicted event was mentioned in the final sentence. The accompanying picture depicts the event from an internal (a performer痴 viewpoint) or external perspective (an observer痴 viewpoint). Twenty-four critical sentences and corresponding pairs of internal and external perspective pictures were created, and fully crossed to produce perspective matching and mismatching pictures for each item. The results agree with previous experiments in English ([6]) showing that responses were significantly faster when the picture matched the perspective implied by the pronoun - 2nd person facilitated internal perspective, while 3rd person facilitated external perspective (Fs>5). Experiment 2: Subject pronouns were removed from the third sentence (in Japanese, contextually retrievable subjects are omittable). Though the subjects were retrievable, the absent pronouns eliminated the compatibility effect seen in Experiment 1 (Fs<1). The two experiments indicate that perspective is as robust a feature of mental simulation in Japanese as has been observed in English, and perspective in simulation is determined by the repetition of explicit perspective markers within each clause. Perspective as a feature of mental simulation situates language comprehenders at a particular vantage point, but decays quickly if not driven by the stream of discourse. References: [1] Barsalou, L.
