| 研究実績の概要 |
AY2022 was the third year of the prosody of the particle (POP) project. No new data collection of Japanese and Swahili was conducted, but owing to the easing of pandemic-related travel restrictions, data collection in the field was available in two occasions. In December 2022 and March 2023, Xitsonga data was collected in Thohoyandou, which varies information in high tone and low tone contexts.
Japanese data on DP constructions, in which a noun was modified by two adjectives varying in accents, were analyzed, which informed us about how lexical accents of nouns and adjectives interact with focus prosody. The focus prosody takes precedence over lexical accents in both accented and unaccented words. We also examined prosody of a speech style of performance arts (Rakugo vs. non-Rakugo), which showed how prosodic patterns of Rakugo speech deviate from normal speech performed by individuals. Especially, vowels produced in Rakugo speech styles use larger acoustic space. For Swahili, the prosodic nature of the emphatic particle tu in declaratives and interrogatives were investigated. In both sentence types tu maintain the prominence.
In addition to conference presentations, journal articles are being written to disseminate the findings.

理由
The project completed data collection, and the dissemination of research outcomes is being prepared during the extension in AY2023.
|
| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
In AY2023, the project will present the findings about prosody of particles in Japanese, Swahili and Xitsonga in three international conferences (HisPhonCog in May, ICPhS in August and TAI in November). We will also publish three proceedings papers (a) particles in Japaneses prosody, (b) Swahili prosody, as well as (c) prosodic features of Rakugo speech. Journal articles are being prepared as well: (i) a corpus study about the Swahili particle tu, (ii) the intonation of Swahili sentences with tu, (iii) Boundary pitch movement in Japanese particles.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The funds were earmarked for data processing, but the data collection was not completed until late, so that the funds could not be used fully. The carry-over funds to AY2023 will be used for a conference registration (ICPhS), in case our work is accepted to the conference.
