Outline of Final Research Achievements

Japanese RFL Learners Corpus (JRFLLC) is a collection of approximately 2800 papers (the production) written by Japanese learners of Russian as a Foreign language (CEFR:A2 to B1 levels). The corpus was built by the members of Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research(KAKEN) in collaboration with Russian research institutes (the Linguistic Laboratory of Corpus Technologies of the National Research University Higher School of Economics), and now we have published the linguistic results online database (http://www.web-corpora.net/RLC//jrfllc).
We have analyzed a linguistic performance of A2 to B1 learners, using a actual data, a pilot version of the created JRFLL Corpus, and scientifically proved the tendency and specific variants of Russian learners, a linguistic performance of Japanese students, which was until now only built up as hypothesis on the base of empirical theory.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本コーパスJRFLLCにより日本語母語学習者のロシア語使用における多面的な言語特性が明らかになり，その分析に基づいて，日本での現行ロシア語教育における教材や指導案，カリキュラムについて抜本的な見直し，改良を図っていくことが可能となった．
同時に，RLC(Russian Learner Corpus)のサブコーパスとして，学習者の各母語の違いによって，学習者言語の特性や言語ストラテジー特性にどのような異同点が観察されるか，実証的で正確な記述と分析に道を開き，類型学的研究にも将来的に資するものになると考える．
