This paper investigates the developmental process of Japanese noun-modifying clauses by Taiwanese Japanese learners focusing on semantic and structural aspects by using the composition material for one year as data. The acquisition of noun-modifying clauses is advanced as time went on and the items which have been thought to be easily acquired both on semantic and structural aspects were used mostly.Analyzing the relative clauses used by learners from the semantic aspect, it was clarified that the clauses which shows ”attribute, state” were mostly used, then were ”past, future, ”habit”, ”progress” in turn. It was not able to be proven that there is a continuum from adjectival modifiers to noun-modifying clauses in the developmental process of Japanese noun-modifying construction because ”past, future” which shows lowest ”attribute” had been used secondarily.On the other hand, analyzing the noun-modifying clauses used by learners from the structural aspect, it was clarified that ”subject” and ”direct object” were used mostly, which are easily to become modifying clauses for head nouns. The other kinds of modifying clauses seldom appeared and there was no common inclination. The result shows that the relation between ”case order” in Japanese and noun-modifying clauses may not be found. |
