Experimental Materials
Tanaka, N., O’Grady, W., Deen, K., Kim, C.-E., Hattori, R., Bondoc, I. P. M., & Soriano, J. U. (2016). Relative clause elicited production task. Nozomi Tanaka Collection (NT1-002), Kaipuleohone: http://hdl.handle.net/10125/42193.
PowerPoint-based materials for elicited production of relative clauses. Each file contains a pseudo-randomized list of stimuli. Originally developed for our research on Tagalog (Bondoc et al. 2018; Tanaka et al. 2022), these materials have also been adapted for:
- Heritage Chinese (Suzuki et al., 2017)
- Heritage Samoan (Muagututi’a, 2018)
- Japanese (Tanaka & Ohba, 2023)
- Kaqchikel (Heaton et al., 2017)
- Malay (Chong, 2018)
