I will focus on the following: 1) the properties of the focus particle <em>datte<\/em> \u0091even\u0092 in Japanese; 2) whether Japanese-speaking children are able to interpret sentences containing \u0091even\u0092 as adults do; and if not, QUD or processing considerations can facilitate children\u0092s performance.<\/p>\n<p>The results show that children can calculate information strength associated with <em>datte<\/em> sentences when the task does not require them to construct and maintain alternative representations. Examining whether or not QUD relevance and processing considerations apply to <em>datte<\/em> sentence implicatures as they do to SIs allows re-examination of the nature of implicatures <em>datte<\/em> generates. I aim to contribute to experimental studies on pragmatics, especially those on EVEN, conventional implicature and SI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Ito Masuyo (Fukuoka University\/MIT) Title: Japanese-speaking children\u0092s interpretation of sentences containing the focus particle datte \u0091even\u0092: QUD or processing limitations Date: Wednesday, December 10th Time: 3:00p Place: 32-D831 In this talk, I will talk about the acquisition of \u0091even\u0092 in Japanese.
