| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to elucidate universal competence of act, cognition and inference, that supports human communication, as well as the rules and norms that organize it, by analyzing various aspects of interaction such as everyday conversation, bodily engagement, and electric communication. Monthly seminars have been held, where the members and collaborators of this research team presented their papers. The System of Multiple Conversation Analysis was architected, which composed the video data recorded by several cameras. The team were divided into three groups for the intensive investigations;
1) The "society" group carried out fieldwork on the traditional dance ceremony at Misakubo, Shizuoka Prefecture, and on the "group-home" of mentally disordered clients at Nagano. These investigations illuminated the interlocking between the institutional constraints imposed on the social setting and the spontaneous attempts to negotiate with others in local context. Another research was focussed on

the conversation samples collected from the university students. This research elucidated the structural features of turn-taking, especially accompanied by the overlapped utterances and complements. A methodology was developed that could identify the interactive significance revealed by the bodily actions.
2) The "cognition" group elucidated the information structure and inferential process that were abstracted from the transcription. Critically examining the fundamental issues of cognitive linguistics, this group also developed a device that validly described the distribution and dynamics of interpretation, knowledge, and cognition among the participants.
3) The "rule" group modeled the interactive patterns that were abstracted from the above investigations, and architected the system which simulated the behavior of this model. This group also developed the methodology of analyzing the coordination between the gestures and the speaker's mental processing of information. Another research elucidated the temporal organization of conversation in terms of the computational processing of natural language.
Based on the above results, most members wrote original papers. These papers were compiled into a research report that was published in March 2002. Less
