This paper reports on a preliminary experiment where Japanese learners of English (JLE) were tested by a Japanese-English translation task on their ability to form genitive relative clauses. The ratio of correct responses indicated that the JLE's linguistic knowledge on relative clause formation develops under the sanction of the universal property manifested in the typological hierarchy for relative clause constructions (i.e., Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy).^1) The constructions erroneously produced by the participants will be argued to point to their reliance on the clause formation strategy of noun-modifying constructions in Japanese, which heavily depends on semantic/pragmatic relationships between the head noun and the "relativised" NP within the complement clause.
