| 研究実績の概要 |
With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic in FY2021, it was impossible to collect new ultrasound tongue image video data and high-speed lip and jaw data from bilingual and trilingual Japanese and Chinese participants. We continued to analyze our existing bilingual data, submitting an abstract to the 10th International Symposium on the Acquisition of Second Language Speech ("New Sounds 2022"). Although our submission was accepted for an oral presentation, the conference was held only face-to-face in Barcelona, Spain, and we were unable to attend because of the complications of COVID-19.
We continued to model articulatory setting based on phoneme frequencies of occurrence. We also started preparing for the creation of a phonetically-balanced Mandarin Chinese stimuli list.

理由
Because of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we could not collect any new phonetic data in FY2021. This severely affected the timing of our research, and we will be forced to extend our kakenhi research by one year.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
As soon as the COVID-19 pandemic is under greater control, we will start Japanese, English, and Mandarin Chinese speech data collection. Until that time, we will continue to model articulatory setting based on phoneme frequencies of occurrence. We will also finish preparing Mandarin Chinese stimuli and have them checked by a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese. We will start to search for bilingual and trilingual participants who can join us as soon as data collection becomes safely possible. Students who have joined the phonetics laboratory this year will be trained on data collection and analysis procedures.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
Because of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic in FY2021, phonetic speech data could not be collected. So, there were no participants to pay honoraria to. Also, because of the absence of data collection, no new computer equipment was needed, so it was not purchased. We plan to purchase that equipment as soon as it becomes apparent that we can safely proceed to collect data face-to-face in the laboratory.
