Abstract(in English) | In this study, using a self-paced reading task and sentence fragment completion task, we investigated the influence of matching and mismatching sentence initial numeral classifiers and relative clause (RC)-internal NPs on the processing of subject and object RCs in Japanese. The results showed that subject relative clauses (SRCs) were read faster than object relative clauses (ORCs) when the numeral classifier matched the NP within the RC. In contrast, when there was a numeral classifier mismatch, there was no statistical difference between SRCs and ORCs. Overall, our study suggests that whether numeral classifiers match NPs within RCs influences the processing of SRCs and ORCs in Japanese. |
