Simplification of Example Sentences for Learners of Japanese Functional Expressions

2016-12-01 · WS 2016 12 · Jun Liu, Yuji Matsumoto

Learning functional expressions is one of the difficulties for language learners, since functional expressions tend to have multiple meanings and complicated usages in various situations. In this paper, we report an experiment of simplifying example sentences of Japanese functional expressions especially for Chinese-speaking learners. For this purpose, we developed {`}Japanese Functional Expressions List{''} and {`}Simple Japanese Replacement List{''}. To evaluate the method, we conduct a small-scale experiment with Chinese-speaking learners on the effectiveness of the simplified example sentences. The experimental results indicate that simplified sentences are helpful in learning Japanese functional expressions.
