| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
First, a paper (with dr. Masuda) was accepted in "Psychological Research" reporting on the value of analyzing acoustic signals when investigating the fundamental phonological unit of language production using Japanese-English bilinguals of different proficiency levels. Second, a paper (with prof Miyaoka and prof. Tokimoto) was accepted in the Journal of Neurolinguistics. This paper investigated the fundamental phonological unit of Japanese word production through the use of EEG. We found that only with moraic units significant behavioral and EEG correlates were found but not with single phonemes. Lastly, a book chapter was published (together with Prof. Schiller) on morphological Theory and Neurolinguistics in the Oxford Handbook of Morphological Theory.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
We got several papers accepted. Collaborations inside and outside of Japan are progressing smoothly and are projected to continue. Data collection is underway and I foresee several other publications resulting from this project.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the original proposal I anticipated to focus on time frequency oscillations most of this year, however, I decided to concentrate more on Korean and Vietnamese. We are currently running several experiments on these languages which have already provided us with interesting (and publishable) results. I will continue my collaboration in the current academic year with Prof. Schiller from Leiden University (NL), Prof. Han from Konkuk University (KOR), prof. Kinoshita from Macquarie University (AUS), prof. Sakai from Waseda University, as well as Prof. Tamaoka from Nagoya U.

| Causes of Carryover |
I used the grant efficiently this year, therefore 104 yen remained which I would like to use in the current fiscal year.
