| Abstract(in English) | There are cross-linguistic differences in whether an entity is perceived as countable or not, and in whether morphological marking of count-mass distinction is obligatory. Such a language-specific nature of the grammatical distinction of mass/count may affect how speakers perceive objects in the world. We conducted three experiments in order to investigate : (1) whether English speakers' semantic judgments on food names are related to the mass/count status of English nouns and thus differs from Japanese speakers' judgments, (2) whether mass/count status is preserved in experimentally-induced semantic substitution errors in English and in Japanese, and (3) whether mass/count status is preserved in substitution errors to a greater extent in English when simple noun phrases "determiner+noun" (i. e., 'an apple', 'some lettuce') are produced. |
