This paper presents empirical data that demonstrate differences and relationships between two commonly used linguistic tasks performed by the L1 speaker (NS) and the Japanese ESL learner (NNS). Thirty-five NSs and thirty-five NNSs were tested in both their elicited production (production) and acceptability judgment (perception) of the English dative structure of which information order of two noun phrases (NPs) following the verb was controlled by preceding prompts. Results from both tests show that significant differences of scores between NSs and NNSs, i.e., higher sensitivity for the given-new information order for NSs. They indicate that production tasks principally evaluate syntactic-discourse competence for both NSs and NNSs. While perception tasks also measure the syntactic-discourse competence for NNSs as the production tasks do, they provide a less direct measure of such competence and seem to be influenced by extra-linguistic factors for the NSs. Furthermore, correlation between production and perception scores demonstrates an interesting pattern. While these two scores by NNSs are highly correlated, these scores by NSs are not as much correlated as by the NNSs'. Such findings are comparable to those found in early first language acquisition (Greenbaum and Quirk, 1970), and offers an evidence for Sorace's (1996) argument in L2 learners' internalized grammars.
