Abstract(in English) Focusing on subject relative clauses (SRs), object relative clauses (ORs), and passive relative clauses (PRs), this study investigated the second language (L2) acquisition of Indonesian by Japanese-speaking adults. By using a timed picture selection task, we found that the comprehension of SRs and PRs were easier than ORs, whereas there was no statistically significant difference between SRs and PRs. These results and our error analyses revealed that the L2 learners were affected by the syntactic factors rooted in the structural distance between the head and the gap, and by the perceptual and semantic factors that reflect the iconicity of language.
