| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | 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. | |
