| 研究実績の概要 |
During the Reiwa 1 fiscal year, we annotated the second half of the database for pitch accent in the same manner as the first half. Moreover, we organized all accent annotations into a database, and with the help of a phonetically-trained Tokyo Japanese native speaker, we have begin processing the two research assistants' memos and resolving any conflicting annotations.
When the full database was input to Chamame, we noticed a non-trivial number of parsing errors. Given its size, systematically detecting and fixing these in the entire database would be an enormous task, and so we turned attention to the Dialogues portion of the dataset, which contains a representative sample of the grammar points covered in Genki. This dataset is now fully cleaned up, and learning simulations can be run.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
The original goal for the second year was to get to the point where learning simulations could be run, and indeed this goal has been met.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Since this grant has been extended into a third year, it has become possible to refine the analysis further. In particular, it will require a bit of experimentation to fully grasp the four-types of accent rules (C, F, M, and P) output by Chamame and how they should be implemented in the learning simulations.
Accordingly, in the first half of the Reiwa 2 year, we will experiment with various types of input data in order to systematically document how the various kinds of accent rule work. Toward this end, additional data will be used from the appendix of the Shinmeikai Japanese Accent Dictionary (2nd edition), which documents numerous accent rules in great detail. Equipped with this understanding, we will be able to run more refined simulations in the second half of the year.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
At the end of the second year, two conference presentations about this research were accepted - one at the American Association of Teachers of Japanese (as indicated in the original grant application) and the other at a phonology conference in Japan. However, due to COVID-19, both conferences were cancelled, although the former offered a portal for sharing presentation materials.
Thus, the remaining funds will be spent during the Reiwa 2 year to disseminate the results of the research at conferences, as originally planned.
