Theoretical and empirical studies of the interaction between the language use and grammatical rules

这个项目的目的是调查语言使用和语法规则之间的相互关系。在一门语言的实际日常使用中，不止一种语法系统在起作用是很常见的；混合了不同的方言和音域，混合了书面或正式风格和口语风格。我们研究了这些语言混合的情况，并研究了语法规则如何在实际语言使用的背景下被表征。研究项目的主要成果如下：1。为了获取多语现象的数据，我们对冲绳宫古岛进行了5次实地考察，对当地的自然对话进行录音，提取当地使用的方言数据，并以数字文件的形式存档。我们在京都举办了两次关于多种语言的闭门讲习班。这两个讲习班的会议记录将合并成一卷，并将以英文出版。Takubo于2005年8月在维也纳举行的欧洲语言、逻辑和信息学会的情态研讨会上发表了应邀演讲。2005年3月在香川大学举行的日本语言处理学会年会上，2006年8月在中京大学举行的日本认知科学学会年会上，他还发表了关于两种情态的全体演讲。2006年6月，他还在英国伦敦大学亚非学院举行的“重新审视日本的形态”会议上做了特邀演讲。金井在哥伦比亚大学举行的日语教师协会/全国日语教师委员会上发表了一篇关于现代日本使用古典日语的特邀论文。

The aim of this project has been to investigate the interrelationship between language use and the rules of grammar that underlie it. In actual daily use of a language, it is common that more than one systems of grammar are at play; mixture of different dialects and registers, mixture of written or formal style and spoken style. We have studied those cases of language mixture and examined how the rules of grammar can be characterized in the context of actual language use. The main results of the research project are as follows :1.To obtain data on multiligualism, we have made 5 field trips to Miyako Island in Okinawa and made recordings of natural conversations and elicited data on the dialects used there, which were filed as digital files.2.We held two closed workshops in Kyoto on the multilingualism. The proceedings of the two workshops will be combined into one volume and will be published in English.3.Takubo gave an invited lecture at a workshop on modals at a European Society of Language, Logic and Information held in August 2005 in Vienna. He also presented a plenary lecture on two types of modals at the annual meeting of the Language Processing Society of Japan held in Kagawa University in March 2005, and a plenary lecture at the Japanese Cognitive Science Society held in Chukyo University in August 2006. He also gave an invited lecture at the conference titled Japanese Modality Revisited held in June 2006 at the School of Oriental and African Studies, the University of London. Kinsui presented an invited paper on the use of classical Japanese in modern Japan at The Association of Teachers of Japanese/National Council of Japanese Language Teachers, held at Columbia University.
