This study examined the following lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic/discourse constraints of <italic>zibun</italic> ‘self’ among adult English-speaking Japanese as a Foreign Language (JFL) learners at a major Midwestern university: (1) Lexical: <italic>Zibun</italic> embedded in the idiomatic expression ‘<italic>zibun-de</italic>’ (by oneself) must refer to the referent of the clausemate subject noun phrase (NP). (2) Syntactic: <italic>Zibun</italic> must be bound by a subject NP. (3) Pragmatic/Discourse: <italic>Zibun</italic> which occurs in the argument position of an empathy-loaded verb must be anchored to the perspective of the individual with whom the speaker empathizes.

520 $a This study examined the following lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic/discourse constraints of <italic>zibun</italic> ‘self’ among adult English-speaking Japanese as a Foreign Language (JFL) learners at a major Midwestern university: (1) Lexical: <italic>Zibun</italic> embedded in the idiomatic expression ‘<italic>zibun-de</italic>’ (by oneself) must refer to the referent of the clausemate subject noun phrase (NP). (2) Syntactic: <italic>Zibun</italic> must be bound by a subject NP. (3) Pragmatic/Discourse: <italic>Zibun</italic> which occurs in the argument position of an empathy-loaded verb must be anchored to the perspective of the individual with whom the speaker empathizes.
520 $a A written version of a truth value judgment task was given to 21 adult JFL learners who were enrolled in three different course levels (Levels 3–5), as well as 27 native speakers of Japanese who served as the control group. The results showed that JFL learners correctly accepted or rejected the test sentences taken as a group 70% of the time. With respect to the sentences that were designed specifically to investigate the lexical knowledge of <italic> zibun-de</italic>, JFL subjects across all levels made correct responses 95% of the time and achieved very high non-parametric index of sensitivity (A<super> ′</super>) values with respect to the well-formedness of these sentences, suggesting that they possessed the proper lexical knowledge of <italic>zibun-de </italic>. As far as the syntactic constraint is concerned, the JFL subjects, particularly those in Levels 3 and 4, were far more likely to accept the local subject NPs, while rejecting the long-distance subject NPs, as the antecedent of <italic>zibun</italic>. JFL learners across all levels performed poorly on the sentences designed to examine the pragmatic/discourse constraint of <italic> zibun</italic>: their rate of accuracy for correctly accepting or rejecting the relevant test sentences was only 56%, while their A<super>′</super> value was .61. These findings suggest that lexical learning can take place even if subjects have only a limited understanding of the complex syntactic and pragmatic/discourse constraints of <italic>zibun</italic>.
