Profile

• Profile

  My specialties are in Japanese linguistics (grammar theory) and Japanese language education. Recently, I have been engaged in the following research:

  
  

  
  
  • Descriptive research with a special focus on theoretical aspects, targeting modern Japanese. In particular, I am focused on a lexical semantic analysis of predicates known as attitude predicates that take embedded clauses.
  
  
  • Research on Japanese language education for academic purposes. Specifically, I aim to clarify the effective connection between Japanese language education and specialized education through a qualitative approach.
