| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Non-native speakers often have distinct speech features (foreign accent - FA). Using computational techniques, we will look into how FA impacts communication focusing on mispronounced sounds in Japanese, English, and Spanish. The goal is to enhance language teaching and explore linguistic profiling.
|
| 研究実績の概要 |
For my current research I have already performed the initial control tests after finding suitable speakers for the preparation of the perception experiment. Results of the control tasks for calibration of the manipulation techniques have been presented in conferences such as ICPhS 2023, in Prague, and in major journals such as Poznan Studies in Contemporary Linguistics and the Journal of Second Language Studies in collaboration with other researchers, and Languages as the only author. Other than the aforementioned presentations and manuscripts, the researcher has established connections with researchers at Tsukuba University, in Japan, and researchers in Spanish universities such as the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona.

理由
Finding a suitable bilingual speaker for the reading of the tokens in both Japanese and Spanish has proved a bit more difficult than expected. However, the speakers have now been found, and I expect the project to run smoothly. The final experiment, in which the interaction between Spanish and Japanese will be tested at the segmental level, will be conducted as planned.
|
| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Currently, the necessary steps for the completion of the experiment are the recording of the speakers and the running of the final experiment among Japanese and Spanish listeners. I intend to equip my laboratory with the required hardware for this purpose (Mac Mini, headphones, etc.) at the beginning of FY2024 so the experiment can be run during Summer and the results can be analyzed and submitted to conferences and journals by the end of FY2024.
