| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Two of our three research goals were completed - one is still ongoing. Research Goal 1 was published in international Journal of Japanese Linguistics, and published in FY4 ad DOI: 10.1515/jjl-2021-2032). Research Goal 3 was published as https://www-hs.yamagata-u.ac.jp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/5c7f942368a45e80b2be60d7508fa413.pdf.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Our research has gone quite some way to explaining both the redundancy and productivity of apophony. Viewed within the larger questions of compounding phenomena in Japanese, we hope this will clarify how it fits together with rendaku in marking element boundaries in words.
