| Outline of Research at the Start |
Space and time are the core concept of our perception and speech.
In this project, through analysis of textual and experimental data within the framework of cognitive linguistics, I will conduct a parallel investigation of the two domains of mental lexicon and strategies of temporal and spatial description in English and Japanese.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Through analysis of textual and experimental data within the framework of cognitive linguistics, I investigate temporal and spatial domains of mental lexicon in English and Japanese.
To date, I organised a collection of word association and corpus data for the project. Corpus data are collected from the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Japanese via Universal Dependencies.
Word association data collection is conducted by building a Japanese word association dataset. Since the beginning of the project, it grew to contain 250000 responses from 6200 participants.
The development of online platform to conduct spontaneous speech experiments on temporal and spatial description is in the testing phase. The design for the spontanous speech experiment on spatial description is ready for the pilot.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
The delays in work on this project are related to the communication slowing down due to the pandemic. There were difficulties in finding a developer, and there are difficulties related to setting up the online platform for the spontaneous speech experiments.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The pilot for the first spontaneous speech experiment will start in June, and it will be ready for data collection of data by Fall. In September, I will run a pilot of the spontaneous speech experiment on temporal description, and it will be ready for data collection by the end of the year.
In parallel, the collection and analysis of corpus and word association data will continue.
