Abstract(in English) | Numeral classifiers (e.g. -hiki, -hon) are the suffixes used with numbers, which we usually use to count certain objects. The nouns choose what type of specific numeral classifiers should associate with them. The purpose of this study is to reveal, by using ERPs, what kind of brain activities are taking place when Japanese native speakers integrate nouns and numeral classifiers. Results of our experiment showed that mismatch of a noun and a numeral classifier evoked N400. This suggests that semantic processes are crucially involved in the integration of nouns and numeral classifiers in Japanese, unlike in the agreement in most European languages. |
