研究実績の概要 |
We completed purchase of equipment and reference materials in preparation for the experimental phase. But, the start of the experimental phase was severely delayed by the COVID-19 lockdown and the subsequent restrictions on close contact. This was particularly difficult for research into pronunciation as it requires subjects and the researcher to remove masks for the recording of articulation, and for demonstration purposes. Therefore, we extend the research period into AY2023. With the lifting of mask restrictions, we tried recruiting subjects for the study, but were unsuccessful in AY2023. At the beginning of AY2024, we recruited some subjects and now expect to complete the experimental and analysis phases by the middle of AY2024, and plan to have a paper ready by the end of 2024.
