Outline of Final Research Achievements

I conducted an experimental investigation on the paraphrasing method of Japanese and what kind of paraphrasing way to use for Japanese native speaker and Japanese learner, and what kind of paraphrased expression is easy to understand. As a result of the investigation, paraphrasing with a strategy and inclusive and extensive knowledge of the vocabulary was seen. As a paraphrase way of Japanese, N1 also focused on tautology expressions like N1. At first glance, it seems that paraphrasing failed in terms of lexical terms, but we also pursued from the subjects with other languages that this expression is not a logical cycle but an argument to redefine N1.
