Japanese Pronoun Acquisition by L1 English Adults: Further Evidence from a Coreference Judgment Task
Keyword(s):
This paper presents the results of a study investigating L2 learners’ interpretations of Japanese overt and empty pronouns in a coreference judgment task. The results show counterevidence to Kanno’s (1997, 1998) claim that learners at an early stage of language study obey the Overt Pronoun Constraint (Montalbetti, 1984), Furthermore, it supports evidence by Masumoto (2008), Pimentel and Nakayama (2012a) showing that learners at the early levels of Japanese learning do not show a knowledge of the constraint, but that this knowledge is acquired by the time they reach an advanced level of study.
