研究実績の概要 |
I published three peer-reviewed journal articles on how speakers store and process the Japanese language in memory. These articles contribute to the ongoing debate about the innate nature of language. Two of the articles examine the emergence of new irregular grammatical patterns in vernacular Japanese, and contributes to our knowledge of irregular grammar, such as the irregular verbs of English. The third article examines patterns in case particle omission, with an emphasis on how language processing occurs in memory.

I have completed the interviews, transcriptions, and parsing for 112 out of 136 interviews. I am on schedule to complete the corpus by the end of 2019. I have not made an progress on building a web site in order to provide the data to other researchers. I intend to do that work in 2019.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
A common theme to all three of my articles is frequency. My next goal is A common theme to all three of my articles is frequency. My next goal is exapand this work by looking at the stative tense verbs (e.g., 食べてた) in natural conversation. I have observed that when speakers use the stative inflection in natural conversation, they often omit markers of finite tense from the utterance (e.g., そうなんですかって言って。). I hypothesize that frequency will play an important role in predicting whether an utterance will omit the finite tense marker.
