Theoretical and Practical Investigation of the Relationship Among Culture, Language, and Interaction in Asia

为了更好地理解语篇的文化基础，本小组召开了七次研究会议，讨论揭示说话者文化背景的语篇类型。在我们寻找收集数据的方法，使我们能够探索文化在话语中的作用，我们检查了以前收集的语料库，包括“地图语料库”和“打电话回家”语料库。最终，我们决定收集一个新的数据集，作为参考，使用“梨故事”和“青蛙故事”语料库，这些语料库是在20世纪70年代和80年代在美国收集的，其中包括跨语言的比较。我们使用了“Mr.O”的故事，并决定从多种语言（日语、英语、韩语）中收集数据。中文和泰语)。研究设计包括数据录像和数据记录。3月初进行了一项试验性研究。采用上一年设计的研究设计，该小组开始收集数据。More er的数据收集包括三个任务：1)两人一组构建一个故事；2)叙事；3)自发地谈论一件让参与者惊讶的事情。数据是成对收集的，日本人26对，美国人22对，中国人和韩国人各4对。通过IR Aruto的帮助，数据被转录。日语资料的转录：1)用汉字和假名字母；2)以及罗马字母；3)包括重叠谈话的标记。在收集数据之后，举行了闭门讲习班和特别会议，以反思和讨论结果。我们还决定在明年举行的国际语用学会议上以小组形式展示这些数据。<平成17>我们举行了一个封闭的研讨会来进一步讨论数据。此外，我们还通过在第九届国际语用学会议（会议地点在意大利）上组织一个小组，以及组织和参加第七届语言、大脑和认知国际论坛（由日本女子大学和东北大学共同主办，在日本女子大学的新森山馆举行），在日本国内外展示了我们的研究结果。我们还准备为我们的数据建立一个主页，并向更广泛的受众发布我们的结果。少

<Heisei 15>In an attempt to better understand the cultural basis of discourse, This group held seven research meetings to discuss the types of discourse which reveal the cultural backgrounds of speakers. In our search for ways to gather data that would enable us to explore the role of culture in discourse, we examined previously gathered corpora, including the "map corpus" and the "call home" corpus. Ultimately, we decided to collect a new data set using as a reference the "Pear Story" and "Frog Story" corpora that were gathered in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s and that included a comparison across languages. We used the story of "Mr.O" and decided to collect data from a number of languages (Japanese, English, Korean. Chinese, and Thai). The research design included videorecording of the data as well as DAT recordings. A pilot study was undertaken in early March.<Heisei 16>Employing the research design devised the previous year, the group began collecting data. The data gath … More er included three tasks : 1) construction of a story in pairs ; 2) narrative ; and 3) spontaneous conversation about an occurrence that surprised the participants. The data was gathered in pairs, with 26 pairs of Japanese, 22 Americans, and 4 each of Chinese and Korean. Through the help of IR Aruto, the data was transcribed. The Japanese data was transcribed : 1) in Kanji and kana letters ; 2) as well as the roman alphabet ; and 3) including markings for overlapping talk. Following the collection of the data, closed workshops and special meetings were held to reflect on and discuss the results. We also decided to present the data as a panel at the International Pragmatics Conference to be held in the following year.<Heisei 17>We held a closed workshop to further discuss the data. In addition, we presented our results both within and outside of Japan by organizing a panel at the 9th International Pragmatics Conference (the conference venue was Italy) and by organizing and taking part in the 7th International Forum on Language, the Brain, and Cognition (co-sponsored by the Japan Women's University and Toohoku University and held at the Shinsensankan at Japan Women's University). We also made preparations to set up a homepage for our data and to publish our results for an even wider audience. Less
