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.

2022 年是粒子韵律 (POP) 项目的第三年。没有进行新的日语和斯瓦希里语数据收集，但由于与大流行相关的旅行限制的放松，两次进行了实地数据收集。 2022 年 12 月和 2023 年 3 月，在 Thohoyandou 中收集了 Xitsonga 数据，该数据在高声调和低音语境中的信息有所不同。分析了日语的 DP 结构数据，其中一个名词由两个不同重音的形容词修饰，这让我们了解了名词和形容词的词汇重音如何与焦点韵律相互作用。在重音和非重音单词中，焦点韵律优先于词汇重音。我们还研究了表演艺术的言语风格的韵律（单语与非单语），这表明单语言语的韵律模式如何偏离个人正常言语的情况。特别是，单语语音风格中产生的元音使用更大的声学空间。对于斯瓦希里语，我们研究了陈述句和疑问句中强调助词 tu 的韵律性质。在这两种句子类型中，tu 都保持着突出地位。除了会议演讲之外，还撰写期刊文章来传播研究结果。
