| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The process from I-mode to D-mode is termed‘Desubjectification.’ Languages differ in their degree of desubjectification and the proposed cognitive typology can accommodate various linguistic phenomena between the Japanese and English languages. English is a typical language of extremely high, and Japanese a typical one of extremely low, degree of desubjectification, while other languages come in between. Not only does this cognitive typology address issues and provide analyses that are crucial for an understanding of the true cognitive linguistic typology and which are frequently absent from the current debate, but it can also offer a cognitive framework for understanding linguistic typology that might be of considerably more cognitive than some of the ones currently observed. The linguistic typology based on the modes of cognition proposed here is also said to be closely related to language evolution and well-accorded with the evolutionary linguistics’spirit.
