Why is it important?
Our study offers further insight into article choices by one group that have no article in their first language (Japanese) and another group who have articles in their first language (Greek).
Perspectives
This is one of the first studies to try and replicate the study by Ionin, Ko and Wexler (2004). We offer an alternative explanation to the setting of an Article Choice Parameter.
