AN ERP RESEARCH ON CHINESE JAPANESE LEARNERSPROCESSING OF JAPANESE KANJI AND SENTENCES
This paper aims to investigate the recognition process of Japanese Kanji and sentences for Chinese Japanese learners (CJL) by analyzing the event-related potential (ERP) differences between CJL and JNS (Japanese native speakers) while they visually recognized Japanese Kanji and sentences. The experiment results showed that no significant differences were found between the two groups in the Japanese Kanji condition, but the differences were found in the Japanese sentences conditions. The N400 latency for JNS appeared earlier, and the amplitude was bigger than CJL, but the duration for CJL was longer than that for JNS. These results demonstrated that the difficulty degree for CJL was bigger than that for JNS on the semantic processing of Japanese sentences. The P600 appeared broadly following the N400 component for JNS, in contrast, the P600 only appeared over the right frontal lobe for CJL. This demonstrated that the neural mechanisms of recognition process of Japanese sentences between the two groups were not identical. JNS also performed syntactic processing after completed semantic processing. From the results, for CJL, the difficulty of Japanese language learning was the recognition and understanding of Japanese sentences which including hiragara, not Japanese Kanji.
