Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to investigate, in controlled cognitive experiments, whether spatial frame of reference in verbal and non-verbal cognitive operations are correlated. In Miyakojima Island, the participants when speaking in Miyakoan used absolute (east-west-north-south), rather than relative (right-left), frames of reference when manipulating tabletop objects. Speakers of Tokyo dialect, a control group, used the relative frame of reference, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. In experiments with Lamaholot speakers in Indonesia, we confirmed that the spatial frame of reference was geocentric (mountain-oriented, sea-oriented). These results have been presented at several conferences and lectures and published in international journals.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

言語が思考を決定するといった強い形の言語相対性仮説に対しては否定的な見方が多いが、空間認知のような特定の領域の認知操作で言語使用と非言語認知過程に同様の操作が関わっていることは一概に否定できない。本研究では、二重言語話者において、使用言語によって絶対指示枠と相対指示枠の使い分けが見られることを示した。この結果は言語相対性仮説を支持するというより、この使い分けが伝統的家屋の建築様式や村の作り方など文化的なフレームの使い分けとかかわっていることを示している。この点で本研究は言語相対性仮説に関して新しい見地を提供している。
