ABSTRACT

This study surveys Japanese language students from a Korean university, alumni of the same university gathering in a Japanese- Korean translation circle and native English speakers residing in Japan on the influence of the respective mother tongue in the acquisition of Japanese verbs composed of two Chinese characters (Kanji) and the verb “to do” (suru-verb). The results of the survey show a measurable influence of the mother tongue in Korean learners. But it has been observed that on subjects where Japanese and English voices overlap and Korean learners often make mistakes, the rate of mistakes in English learners was equally high. Therefore, even in subjects where the assumed reason for mistakes was language transfer and as such has been widely regarded as the “influence of the Korean mother tongue”, I suggest that there is more to this than solely the influence of the mother tongue.
