Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study collected spoken data in Model United Nations simulations in order to prepare a corpus for linguistic research. Reports of dealing with the technical challenges of collecting usable in situ data offer future researchers methodological insights. Data collection was interrupted during the COVID pandemic but several qualitative analyses were done to ascertain the comparability of the English as a LIngua Franca produced by the speakers in this corpus (MUNCE Model United Nations Corpus of English) with other ELF corpora such as ACE (Asian Corpus of English) and VOICE (Vienna Oxford Corpus of English). The areas compared included, the use of repair strategies for accommodation, the production of non-standard forms by ELF speakers also seen in native speaker language, and accommodation strategies used when interacting with ELF speakers. Several book chapters, journal articles and conference presentations have been produced on the basis of these preliminary qualitative analyses.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

共通語としての英語(ELF)を用いる話者はネイティブスピーカーを上回っており、ELF話者は英語の未来に影響を与える。同様に国連でもELF話者が多数を占める。国連での言語分析は、交渉の発話が外交上の保秘事項のため記録文書に限定されてきた。先行研究により国連と模擬国連の記録文書が強い類似性を有することが指摘されている。このため模擬国連の発話交渉の分析は国連のELF話者間の交渉にも援用可能と考える。
