• The purpose of the present study is to seek why the Noun Complement Adjunct(NCA) structure is acquired later than the Verb Complement Adjunct (VCA) structure, focusing on the syntactic differences between them. It will be explained from the viewpoint of the Subset Principle. When English (L2) and Japanese(L1) are in a subset/superset relation, it seems that Japanese learners of English cannot abandon the superset grammar and create the subset grammar effectively because they are influenced by their L1 (the transfer hypothesis, as opposed to the subset hypothesis.) (White, 1989) When Japanese learners of English reset the head position parameter from the value of the superset grammar (head-final) to the value of the subset grammar (head-initial), they must move both a complement phrase and an adjunct phrase to the right of the head at the same time. Although Japanese word order of the two phrases are not rigidly restricted, in English complements must precede adjuncts, which causes some problems. If the learners do not notice the structural similarity between the NCA and the VCA structure, the NCA structure will be acquired later than the VCA structure because of the influence of the L1. The results of a grammaticality judgement test support the hypothesis. The results suggest negative evidence is indispensable to avoid the negative transfer from the L1.
