Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine methods of measuring syntactic complexity by analyzing an original corpus of written Japanese data from native speakers and learners of Japanese. We compared two measures, mean dependency distance (MDD) and mean hierarchical distance (MHD), which have been examined using in English in previous studies. Our research question is to compare the two methods and evaluate them in order to develop an index for measuring Japanese learner's syntactic complexity.
用中级日语学习者语料库数据考察MDD和MHD作为句法复杂性度量
本研究的目的是通过分析母语人士和日语学习者的原始日语书面语料库,来检验衡量句法复杂性的方法。我们比较了两种测量方法,即平均依赖距离(MDD)和平均层次距离(MHD),这两种测量方法在以前的研究中已经使用英语进行了检验。我们的研究问题是对这两种方法进行比较和评价,以建立一个衡量日语学习者句法复杂性的指标。
