A Comparison of English and Japanese from the Semantic-typological Perspective : A Corpus-based study of Event Structuring.

该项目的成果可分为两类：数据库和出版物。前者包括：1)由23名日语母语人士讲述的“青蛙故事”；2)《运动事件语言表达书目》。该参考书目首次出版于2002b（见下文），并已更新，现在可在http://www.lit.kobe-u.ac.jp/yomatsum/motionbiblio.html.Publications上获得，包括以下论文：1)引起运动构建（2002a）， 2)运动事件类型学（2003a, b）和3)视觉运动（2004）。我关于运动事件类型学的论文回顾了以前的类型学，它们的不同解释及其问题，并提出了一种替代方法，根据运动路径是否编码在VP的头部（头部框架语言）中（非头部框架语言），将语言划分为不同的类型。我在关于视觉运动的论文中详细描述了这种现象。在2004年日本英语语言学学会会议上，一篇未发表的论文试图整合本文的发现和运动事件的类型学。有人认为，语言倾向于采用以下顺序的无头框架模式。运动<引起运动<视觉运动。所有这些工作都部分基于语料库数据的检查（Cobuild语料库和每日新闻数据）。

The results of this project can be divided into two categories : database and publications.The former includes 1)"frog stories" narrated by 23 native speakers of Japanese, and 2)A Bibliography of Linguistic Expressions for Motion Events. This bibliography was first published as 2002b (see below), and it has been updated and is now available at http://www.lit.kobe-u.ac.jp/yomatsum/motionbiblio.html.Publications include papers on 1)caused motion construction (2002a), 2)typology of motion events (2003a, b), and 3) visual motion (2004). My papers on Typology of motion events review previous typologies, their different interpretations and their problems, and propose an alternative in which languages are divided into different types depending on whether Path of motion is encoded in the head of VP (Head-framed languages) or not (Nonhead-framed languages). My paper on visual motion describes this phenomenon in Japanese in details. An integration of the findings in this paper and the typology of motion events is attempted in an unpublished paper presented at the 2004 Conference of the English linguistics Society of Japan. It is argued that languages tend to take a Nonhead-framed pattern in the following order. Motion <Caused Motion <Visual Motion. All of these works are partially based on the examination of corpus data (Cobuild Corpus and Mainichi-shinbun data).
