  abstract  = {Learning functional expressions is one of the difficulties for language
	learners, since functional expressions tend to have multiple meanings and
	complicated usages in various situations. In this paper, we report an
	experiment of simplifying example sentences of Japanese functional expressions
	especially for Chinese-speaking learners. For this purpose, we developed
	“Japanese Functional Expressions List” and “Simple Japanese Replacement
	List”. To evaluate the method, we conduct a small-scale experiment with
	Chinese-speaking learners on the
	effectiveness of the simplified example sentences. The experimental results
	indicate that simplified sentences are helpful in learning Japanese functional
	expressions.},
