| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | Understanding utterance meanings at the illocutionary force level (Austin 1962), such as question, request, greeting, is the first step in sharing intentions, and function words help us identify them. We aim to constructively grasp the acquisition mechanism of function words, especially sentence-final particles in Japanese, by constructing a model that integrates both automatic and conscious processings. In this study, we propose a model that associates vision, language, and subjective feelings by self-attention (VLS-BERT), which is a part of the developmental model of children’s automatic processing at the stage of acquiring sentence-final particles. Our simulation results showed that the model could associate linguistic information with visual information and/or subjective feelings. Furthermore, the result proved that the linguistic information of each of the utterances with the sentence-final particle yo was more strongly associated with the visual information and/or subjective feelings immediately after the time of the utterance, and that the linguistic information of each of the utterances with the sentence-final particle ne was more strongly associated with the visual information and/or subjective feelings at the time of the utterance. To give a specific example, Ringo da yo ‘I want to inform you that here is an apple’ was associated with the visual information at the next time of the utterance (i.e. the information obtained from looking at the apple, and Ringo da ne ‘I want to share the feeling that we are both looking at the apple’ was associated with the visual information at the time of the utterance. This result indicates that VLS-BERT implicitly acquired the meanings of the two different sentence-final particles. |
