研究開始時の研究の概要 |
For a given language, its "articulatory setting" is the default position of the tongue, lips, and jaw just before speaking and between utterances. It has interested phoneticians for centuries, and this knowledge is important for creating articulatory models of the vocal tract and for language teachers and learners who always look for an easier way to modify pronunciation. This research will measure the articulatory settings of bilingual and trilingual speakers of English, Japanese, and Chinese, propose accounts for those differences, and develop software to teach them to language learners.

研究実績の概要 |
With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic in FY2022, new data collection was not possible, and an application was made to extend this kakenhi grant for one year. Instead of data collection, existing data was further analyzed. Books on the phonology of standard Chinese, on English pronunciation, and on voice quality were purchased to assist with training of research assistants and selection of stimuli for upcoming experiments.
A paper called "In search of the origin of articulatory settings: Japanese-English bilinguals" was submitted to the well-known Scopus-indexed journal "Language and Speech". Strong interest was shown by the publishers and reviewers, and we are currently revising the paper for resubmission in FY2023.

3: やや遅れている
理由
Because of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we could not collect new phonetic data in FY2022. Although we were able to submit a paper to a major journal (based on previously collected data), we were forced to request a one-year extension for this kakenhi research.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In FY2023, we will start by revising and resubmitting a paper on the origina of articulatory settings to Language and Speech (major journal). We will collect Mandarin Chinese ultrasound and video data from bilingual and trilingual participants, analyze the data, and submit our research to a conference later in the year.
