Ogasawara, Naomi – Language and Speech, 2013
Vowel devoicing happens in Japanese when the high vowel is between voiceless consonants. The aim of this study is to investigate the lexical representation of vowel devoicing. A long-term repetition-priming experiment was conducted. Participants shadowed words containing either a devoiced or a voiced vowel in three priming paradigms, and their…

Warner, Natasha; Otake, Takashi; Arai, Takayuki – Language and Speech, 2010
While listeners are recognizing words from the connected speech stream, they are also parsing information from the intonational contour. This contour may contain cues to word boundaries, particularly if a language has boundary tones that occur at a large proportion of word onsets. We investigate how useful the pitch rise at the beginning of an…

Miyamoto, Edson T. – Language and Speech, 2003
Reports on two experiments that focus on clause boundaries in Japanese that suggest that minimal change restriction is unnecessary to characterize reanalysis. Proposes that the data and previous observations are more naturally explained by a constraint-driven model in which revisions are performed only when required by parsing constraints.…

Murty, Lalita; Otake, Takashi; Cutler, Anne – Language and Speech, 2007
Listeners rely on native-language rhythm in segmenting speech; in different languages, stress-, syllable- or mora-based rhythm is exploited. The rhythmic similarity hypothesis holds that where two languages have similar rhythm, listeners of each language should segment their own and the other language similarly. Such similarity in listening was…

Yamashita, Hiroko – Language and Speech, 2001
Investigated whether syntactic computation takes place in an ambiguous sentence fragment in Japanese and if and how information from constituents other than the verb is utilized. Experiments were conducted using automated, word-by-word visual presentations with a lexical decision task on an extrasentential target. (Author/VWL)

Feldman, Laurie B.; Turvey, M. T. – Language and Speech, 1980
When two Japanese adults named colors written in Kanji, a logographic orthography, and in Kana, a syllabary, the latency to vocalization was consistently less for Kana. This superiority of Kana is attributed to the closer relation of Kana to phonology and, therefore, to speech. (Author/RL)

Tokimoto, Shingo – Language and Speech, 2005
This paper experimentally examines the effects of the case-markings and the constraint on the assignments and the receptions of thematic roles in Japanese sentence processing. A self-paced reading experiment was carried out with syntactically well-controlled Japanese sentences including homonyms locally ambiguous between nouns and verbs. The…
