对比日语主句与从句的弱交叉现象，发现差异源于句法结构而非词序。
Matrix and Relative Weak Crossover in Japanese: An Experimental Investigation
- 用日语实验排除词序干扰，验证弱交叉效应的句法本质
- 主句中弱交叉不可接受，从句中则常可接受，结果与英语研究一致
- 适用于句法学、语言认知及跨语言对比研究者
本文提供了关于日语主句与从句中弱交叉效应差异的新证据。尽管福岛等人（2024）已指出，在消除非结构因素后，英语使用者对主句中的弱交叉几乎不接受，而对从句中的弱交叉则常接受，但该结论受限于英语的词序特征，难以区分是线性顺序还是句法结构所致。为解决此问题，本研究采用日语进行实验，因其无英语中的词序混淆。结果在定性上与福岛等人的发现一致，表明弱交叉效应的差异源于句法结构，而非简单的线性优先顺序。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper provides evidence that weak crossover effects differ in nature between matrix and relative clauses. Fukushima et al. (2024) provided similar evidence, showing that, when various non-structural factors were eliminated English speakers never accepted matrix weak crossover cases, but often accepted relative weak crossover ones. Those results were limited, however, by English word order, which lead to uncertainty as to whether this difference was due to the effects of linear precedence or syntactic structure. In this paper, to distinguish between these two possibilities, we conduct an experiment using Japanese, which lacks the word-order confound that English had. We find results that are qualitatively in line with Fukushima et al. (2024) suggesting that the relevant distinction is structural and not based simply on precedence.
