International Research for Theorization of Phraseology

在过去的一年里，通过Kakeni支持的两个主要会议(9月和3月)以及日本短语学会成员之间的讨论，我们在短语理论化方面向前迈出了一大步。我们还参加了8月在斯洛文尼亚马里博尔举行的欧洲短语学会会议，并有机会与欧洲和加拿大的短语学家讨论如何将短语理论化。短语学是一个语言研究领域，专注于词汇、搭配和习语(等等)，在统一的方法和理论框架下很难进行研究，但我们认为，通过与欧洲和加拿大短语学家的讨论，我们已经取得了重大突破。参加9月份在大阪和3月份在东京举行的两次会议的人肯定已经看到了什么是措辞，以及它是关于什么的。短语学将为日本的交际型英语教育提供理论基础，我们希望这种教育能在这个国家蓬勃发展。

During the past year, we made a big step forward in terms of theorizing phraseologythrough the two major conferences (September and March) supported by the Kakenhi and also through discussions among members of the Japan Society for Phraseology. We also joined the conference of EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR PHRASEOLOGY held in Maribor, Slovenia in August, and had occasions to discuss how to theorize phraseology with European and Canadian phraseologists.Phraseology is a research area of language focusing on vocabulary, collocations and idioms (among others) whose research is difficult to do under unified methodological and theoretical frameworks, but we think we have made a big breakthrough through the discussions with European and Canadian phraseologists. People who joined the two conferences held in Osaka in September and in Tokyo in March must have seen what phraseology is and what it is about. Phraseology will provide theoretical foundations to the communication-oriented English education in Japan, which we hope, will thrive in this country.
