    Abstract: Measurement of F0 was made of utterances of Japanese sentences to observe behavior of intonation contours with varied focus assignment and lexical accent specifications. Materials were 80 sentences of right-branching structures of the type NP1-NP2(-NP3)-VP, where 16 have two three-mora NP’s and 64 three NP’s, including all the permutations of NP’s, each with one of the four lexical accent types. The utterances were generated in question–answer discourse contexts so that in a sentence, one NP was always focused. The results are: (1) focus assignment has no significant effect on NP1, (2) NP2 and NP3 are significantly higher when focused than when not focused, and (3) focused/unfocused NP2 preceded by unaccented NP1 is significantly higher than those preceded by accented NP1, and so is NP3 preceded by NP2 with the same conditions. These suggest that focus assignment on NP2/NP3 requires rephrasing there, that a lexical accent of an NP narrows the pitch range of the following phrase, and that the prosodic status of focus assignment is lower than that of the lexical accent.

    Syntactic ambiguities and their resolution in prosody: Observations in Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Turkish
    Acoustical Society of America (ASA) ; 1998

    Abstract: Acoustic measurement was made of utterances of syntactically ambiguous sentences in Tokyo and Sendai Japanese, Seoul and Kyongsang Korean, Mongolian, and Turkish to observe prosodic strategies for disambiguation. Materials were sentences of the types ADV-VP1-NP-VP2 and ADJ-NP1-NP2-VP, where the former is ambiguous in terms of adverbial modification, ADV modifying either VP1 or VP2, and the latter creates ambiguity for the adjective ADJ modifying either NP1 or NP1+NP2. For these constructions, the four languages show identical constituent structures, and accordingly create same ambiguities. After defining the syntactic depth of a boundary, F0 of the phrase before and after the boundary, and duration of the syllable and pause before the boundary were measured. The results for differentiating the syntactic depth: (1) Tokyo Japanese and Kyongsang Korean make use of F0 rise after the boundary, (2) Seoul Korean lengthens the duration, (3) Turkish uses F0 rise before the boundary followed by a pause, and (4) pause is the indication for Sendai Japanese and Mongolian.

    Cortical Mechanisms Involved in the Processing of Verbs: An fMRI Study

    Abstract: In this study, we investigated two aspects of verb processing: first, whether verbs are processed differently from nouns; and second, how verbal morphology is processed. For this purpose, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare three types of lexical processing in Japanese: the processing of nouns, unmarked active verbs, and inflected passive verbs. Twenty-eight healthy subjects were shown a lexical item and asked to judge whether the presented item was a legal word. Although all three conditions activated the bilateral inferior frontal, occipital, the left middle, and inferior temporal cortices, we found differences in the degree of activation for each condition. Verbs elicited greater activation in the left middle temporal gyrus than nouns, and inflected verbs showed greater activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus than unmarked verbs. This study demonstrates that although verbs are basically processed in the same cortical network as nouns, nouns and verbs elicit different degrees of activation due to the cognitive demands involved in lexical semantic processing. Furthermore, this study also shows that the left inferior frontal cortex is related to the processing of verbal inflectional morphology.
