| Outline of Research at the Start |
本研究では、モンゴル語・中国語・日本語を対象に、各言語の分節音の内部構造を明らかにする。各言語の音声事実を音響分析によって観察したのち、素性階層理論や要素理論など複数の音韻理論に立脚し、記述的・分析的妥当性の高い音韻表示の方法を探る。さらに、同一または類似の音韻構造を持つ分節音が、言語によって異なる音声で実現するという事実に着目し、3言語を対照しながらその実態や要因について明らかにする。

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study addressed the phonetic characteristics and phonological inner constructions of certain segments in Mongolian, Chinese, and Japanese.
First, this study clarified that the phonetic characteristics of aspirated and unaspirated obstruents differed significantly between Khalkha Mongolian and Chinese, and those in Inner Mongolian were intermediate between them. In addition, it was shown that native Mongolian speakers who learn Japanese tended to pronounce Japanese obstruents with aspiration, which was interpreted as language transfer from Mongolian.
Secondly, this study investigated the phonological structures of /g/, /l/, and /r/ in Mongolic languages. Several phonetic and phonological analyses clarified that /g/ had the characteristics of a sonorant and glide, although it is normally categorized as an obstruent, and that /l/ in Khalkha Mongolian could behave as a fricative, while /r/ could not, although both /l/ and /r/ are categorized as liquids.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、複数の言語を対照させることにより、言語間の音声的・音韻的特徴の異同を明らかにした点で、対象言語学的・記述言語学的な意義がある。また、音声的なバリエーションも含め、分節音の音声特徴の詳細な記述をベースとし、素性 (feature) や要素 (element) などの音韻理論を用いて分節音の内部構造を考察した点で、理論的にも重要な研究である。
