Use of Deontic Consequent Clauses with Conditional to and ba in Written Japanese: Effects on Comprehension and Perceived Proficiency
(2023) JAPK12 20231Japanese Studies
- Abstract
- This study investigates the effects of violating deontic constraints on the Japanese conditional markers to and ba. Via an online survey, native speakers reviewed sentences containing violations of these constraints, evaluating their own ability to understand the sentence and the proficiency of the sentences’ authors. Additionally, they were asked to correct sentences they rated poorly, and determine whether or not erroneous sentences differed in meaning from correct versions of the same sentence. Results indicate a significant negative effect on perceived proficiency when either markers’ constraints are
violated, and a potential impact on comprehension.
