| 研究実績の概要 |
I have completed writing up my research data gathered in fieldwork in New England in 2019. I have produced maps of jess and dow in Northeast America, which show new data previously unpublished. I have also written about the Puritans and profanity in earlier English (in explaining ‘dear [God] yes’, ‘dear [God] no’ > jess and dow). I am currently in the process of finalizing and submitting my findings for publication.

理由
The second phase of my research was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. I was unable to travel to research institutes overseas or conduct new fieldwork on forms of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ in other languages. I plan to begin these in summer 2022. I also plan to appear on BBC radio in England, if possible in summer 2022, to talk about my research findings.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
As I mentioned in last year’s report, jess and dow are obsolescent in Northeast America, meaning that they are probably relatively rare in western USA. Therefore, I also plan to move on to examine yes and no more universally in human language. This encompasses the origins of yes and no in language, vocalization and gesture.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, I was not able to travel overseas for fieldwork or visiting research institutes.
In the current year, I plan to travel overseas for fieldwork, visiting research institutes and international conferences.
