Abstract:

Issues in Japanese Psycholinguistics from Comparative Perspectives
compiles over 30 state-of-the-art articles on Japanese
psycholinguistics. It emphasizes the importance of using comparative
perspectives when conducting psycholinguistic research.
Psycholinguistic studies of Japanese have contributed greatly to the
field from a cross-linguistic perspective. However, the target
languages for comparison have been limited. Most research focuses on
English and a few other typologically similar languages. As a result,
many current theories of psycholinguistics fail to acknowledge the
nature of ergative-absolutive and/or object-before-subject languages.
The cross-linguistic approach is not the only method of comparison in
psycholinguistics. Other prominent comparative aspects include
comprehension vs. production, native speakers vs. second language
learners, typical vs. aphasic language development. Many of these
approaches are underrepresented in Japanese psycholinguistics.

The studies reported in the volumes attempt to bridge these gaps.
Using various experimental and/or computational methods, they address
issues of the universality/diversity of the human language and the
nature of the relationship between human cognitive modules. Volume 1,
Cross-Linguistic Studies, compares Japanese and other languages,
including well-studied languages such as English, as well as
lesser-studied languages such as Kaqchikel.
