Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine methods of measuring syntactic complexity by analyzing an original corpus of written Japanese data from native speakers and learners of Japanese. We compared two measures, mean dependency distance (MDD) and mean hierarchical distance (MHD), which have been examined using in English in previous studies. Our research question is to compare the two methods and evaluate them in order to develop an index for measuring Japanese learner's syntactic complexity.
