| Abstract(in English) | It is assumed that Japanese scrambled sentences are made by moving an object from the canonical order sentences to the sentence initial position. This type of moving is assumed to leave "a trace" in original object position (Chomsky, 1981; 1995). If human comprehends the scrambled sentences based on this linguistic theory, the object in scrambled sentences is thought to be processed in the trace position. Some previous studies have showed the increase of the activation level of the object in the trace position. On the other hand, Shibata et al. (2004) presented a conceptual model involving the process after trace position. This model postulated that the object activation level decreases immediately after processing the trace. Based on this model, the present study examined the decays of indirect priming effects in Japanese short-distance scrambled sentences. As we analyzed the all participants' data, the object activation effect in trace position did not been detected. Then, depending on the lexical decision time during the sentence comprehension, we divided the participants into the fast group or the slow group. As to the fast group, it was showed that the activation level of the object increased in the trace position, and decreased in the verb end position. |
