This psycholinguistic project will be carried out as a                          dissertation project in Japan and the USA.  It will                             experimentally test native speakers of Japanese and English to                  see if there are differences in how spoken sentences are parsed                 for internal structure and how sentence structure is acquired by                children learning their first language. Both children and adults                will be tested in order to address current issues regarding the                 interaction of processing strategies and first-language                         acquisition.  Japanese and English provide a good pair for such                 testing, since they are typologically very different sorts of                   languages.
