Articulatory settings of English, Japanese, and Chinese bilingual and trilingual speakers

由于2019冠状病毒病大流行在2022财年持续，无法收集新的数据，因此申请将kakenhi赠款延长一年。不是收集数据，而是进一步分析已有的数据。购买了有关标准汉语音韵学、英语发音和语音质量的书籍，以协助培训研究助理和为即将进行的实验选择刺激。一篇题为《寻找发音设置的起源：日英双语者》的论文被提交给著名的scopus索引期刊《语言与言语》。出版商和审稿人表现出强烈的兴趣，我们目前正在修改论文，准备在2023财年重新提交。

With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic in FY2022, new data collection was not possible, and an application was made to extend this kakenhi grant for one year. Instead of data collection, existing data was further analyzed. Books on the phonology of standard Chinese, on English pronunciation, and on voice quality were purchased to assist with training of research assistants and selection of stimuli for upcoming experiments.A paper called "In search of the origin of articulatory settings: Japanese-English bilinguals" was submitted to the well-known Scopus-indexed journal "Language and Speech". Strong interest was shown by the publishers and reviewers, and we are currently revising the paper for resubmission in FY2023.
