概要 In this study, we analyzed written narrative discourses produced by non-native speakers (NNS) and native speakers (NS) of English to investigate their use of pronouns. We also conducted a survey with NNS and NS of English. We examined, in the corpus analysis and survey results, (1) how centering prediction is reflected in human intuitive judgments on pronominalization, and (2) how NNS judgments differ from those of NS. The results showed that NNS and NS decisions on pronominalization are reasonably compatible with centering predictions. More highly coherent and less costly transition sequences allowed more pronouns. Some observed differences between NNS and NS and their pedagogical implications will also be presented.
