Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I conducted a corpus-based study to obtain empirical data of the subject case particles ‘ga’ and ‘no’, and analyzed them from a perspective of sociolinguistics. Regarding the linguistic change, I was able to verify the Constant Rate Hypothesis, which was originally made with English data, using data from Japanese. In addition to that, I analyzed the observed change by style, referring to the concept of “Japanese Standard” claimed by Takashi Nomura at the University of Tokyo. Furthermore, the factor ‘adjacency’, which was detected in the corpus study, was analyzed by conducting several experiments from a psycholinguistic point of view, based on a hypothesis that it is relevant to our cognitive skills to process language. This perspective brought me to a new joint project with the Section of Neuropsychology at the National Rehabilitation Center for Persons with Disabilities, in order to delve into linguistic aspects of the brain involving aphasiology and neurolinguistics.
