Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Griffin & Bock (2000) monitored the eye-movement of speakers as they describe simple events and found that the speakers’ gaze pattern corresponds to the order of the object they mention. 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.
