| Outline of Research at the Start |
In both Japanese and Korean, the lexicon is made up of different strata: native words, Chinese borrowings, more recently adopted ‘foreign’ loanwords, and so-called mimetic words. The purpose of this project is to investigate how lexical stratification works. More concretely, the goals are to describe and compare the stratum-specific morphological and phonological patterns in Japanese and Korean, to measure the degree of stratification in the two languages, to account for the similarities and differences that will be uncovered, and to develop a network-based model of lexical stratification.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project proposes a model of lexical stratification in which phonological, morpho-syntactic, semanto-pragmatic, and orthographic aspects can can be analyzed in a unified way. By incorporating the distinction between symbols, indices, and icons in the representations, the model is grounded in Peircean semiotics. Moreover, the approach is usage-based, which makes it is well-suited to capture the gradient nature of lexical stratification.
