| Abstract |
The genitive marker "no" in Japanese simple sentences often behaves as a conjunctional marker, connecting nouns ("[N nihongo]-no [N hon]") or a clause and a noun ("[S dochira-o saguru-ka]-no [N mondai...]"). Therefore, when the sentence processor encounters "no", it can predict the subsequent appearance of a phonetic entity representing a noun. This study investigates the effect of "no" in predicting subsequent nouns within sentence processing. Especially, the effect of the difference between a "no" that follows a numeral quantifier and one that does not was investigated in predicting processes to be input subsequently. The results of the ERP experiment suggest that "no" induces the sentence processor to predict the noun which has a specific or concrete referent.show more
