■ Message

By learning a new language (such as Japanese) in a new environment (APU), you may discover new things about not only Japan and the Japanese language, but also your mother country and native language. Please enjoy these discoveries and interests. If you make any new discoveries or find some things interesting, please let us know.

■ Current research

In recent years, I have been conducting research on what kinds of constraints exist at the word and sentence level in the determinations of aspectual and related functions.
So far, my research is mainly focused on Japanese and Chinese, but I am interested in other languages as well.

■ Current specialized field

Linguistics, Japanese language education (Key Word：Aspect, Event Projection Theory, Lexical Semantics)
