Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this grant, we have done four things: first, we created a database of two-kanji compound words for native Chinese- and Korean-speaking students who are learning Japanese, available as a search engine(http://kanjigodb.herokuapp.com). Second, using a corpus from the Mainichi newspaper (2000-2010), we created a Web-accessible search engine for 2136 joyo-kanji and their compounds (www.kanjidatabase.com). A paper explaining these tools was accepted by Psychological Research (Tamaoka et al., in press). Third, we created a Web-accessible experimental software for kanji semantic space. Finally, we published an ERP study of Chinese-and-Japanese bilinguals, indicating non-language selective word activation of both languages, but a cut-off mechanism for sentential processing of a target language (Tamaoka et al., 2016).
