Abstract(in English) The present study investigated the effects of case-markers in the processing of Japanese scrambled sentences. We measured times of correctness decision-making for sentences. Decision-making times did not differ in terms of case-marker (ni marked NP - o marked NP), but differed in terms of sentence type (canonical sentence - scrambled sentence). This result implies that the parser is not sensitive to the syntactic difference of case-marker "ni" and "o", but sensitive to a word order in processing scrambling sentences. The authors propose the mechanism that when the parser recognizes scrambled arguments (ni/o marked NPs) before recognizing a ga marked NP, it starts searching gap positions, regardless of differences of their case-markers.
