AboutAbout the lab
Exploring grammar through theory and experiments
The Fujii Lab studies the grammar of human language from the standpoint of theoretical linguistics.
It investigates syntax, which deals with how words combine to form sentences, through both theory and linguistic experiments.
Its research also covers the process of acquiring the grammar of a language (grammar acquisition) and semantic inference by English learners whose native language is Japanese.
Key terms
- Syntax
- The field of linguistics that deals with how words combine to form sentences
- Grammar acquisition
- The process by which children acquire the grammar of their native language as they listen to the language around them
- Scalar implicature
- An inference that goes beyond the literal meaning of words, such as hearing "ate some" and understanding "not all"

View More ↗ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how the sentences of a language are structured and how that grammar is acquired. In addition to theoretical analysis, it uses experiments and computer simulations.
*Illustrative imageControl Theory and the Copy Theory of Movement
As theoretical linguistics research, the lab works on control theory and the copy theory of movement. It has also given an invited talk on finite control in Japanese, covering both description and theory.
*Illustrative imageSimulating Grammar Acquisition
The lab also studies grammar acquisition through simulation. There is a paper reporting a preliminary investigation of how learners acquire the conditions under which adverbs are permitted.
*Illustrative imageSemantic Inference in English Learners
The lab examines how English learners whose native language is Japanese handle the interpretation of scalar implicatures and quantificational expressions. Papers have appeared in journals such as Second Language.
Experimental Studies of Japanese Sentences
The lab conducts experiments such as acceptability judgment tasks, which examine whether Japanese sentences sound natural to native speakers. There are presentations on the interpretation of null object constructions and the properties of elements that occur with verbs.
