A Theoretical and Empirical Study of the Relationship among Culture, Interaction and Language

2001年至2002年，在日本女子大学举办了四次闭门研讨会，与国外的研究人员和合作研究人员讨论了这一研究项目。2001年，我们在日本社会语言科学协会会议上举办了两次公开研讨会，邀请了美国亚利桑那大学的Jane Hill博士和美国宾夕法尼亚大学的Asif Agha博士两位人类学语言学领域的研究人员参加研讨会，并就基于语言意识形态概念的互动中的形式和语法进行了卓有成效的讨论。作为该项目的主要成果，《文化、互动与语言》一书出版。片冈邦吉和出井七子的作品于2002年由日治书局出版。每位研究者都在对东亚语言现象的研究中取得了进展，声称这些现象无法用西方语言的理论框架来解释。在此基础上讨论了语言、互动和文化之间的关系，以解释这些语言现象。在研讨会上交换了意见，并提出了进一步研究的建议。每位研究者都将与该研究项目成员的讨论反映在他或她自己的论文《文化、互动和语言》一书中。作者：片冈邦吉和出纪子。

Four closed workshops were held at Japan Women's University 2001 through 2002 to have a discussion on this research project aiong investigators and cooperative researches from abroad. In 2001, we have two open workshops at the Japanese Association of Sociolinguistic Science Conferences and we invited two researchers in the field of anthropological linguistics, Dr. Jane Hill from University of Arizona and Dr. Asif Agha from University of Pennsylvania, to the workshop and had a fruitful outcome for the discussion on the form and grammar in interaction based on the notion of linguistic ideology. As the main outcome of this project, the book, Culture, Interaction, and Language eds. by Kuniyoshi Kataoka and Sachiko Ide was published by Hitsuji Shobo in 2002.Each investigator has made progress in his/her research on linguistic phenomena of East Asian languages to claim that they cannot be explained from the theoretical framework by western languages. The relationship among language, interaction and culture was discussed based on the collected data to explain these linguistic phenomena. The opinions were exchanged at the workshops and the suggestions for further studies were suggested. Each investigator reflected the discussion with the members of this research project into his or her own paper on the book, Culture, Interaction, and Language eds. by Kuniyoshi Kataoka and Sachiko Ide.
