Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study experimentally investigates whether Japanese-speaking children around the age of 4 conform to a structural constraint on Quantifier Float. After pointing out a potential confound in a previous study by Otsu (1994), I report the results of my own experiment, in which this confound in the experimental design is eliminated. The results of this new experiment confirm that the relevant structural constraint is indeed in the grammar of Japanese-speaking preschool children as suggested by Otsu, which in turn provides cross-linguistic support for previous findings regarding preschool children’s adherence to structure dependence.
