【教育】

◆文学部・人文学研究科と教養教育院の授業を担当しています。

◆文学部と大学院人文学研究科では、言語学分野の授業(主として音声学の授業)を担当しており、また、大学院生の研究指導も行っています。(大学院に進学して私の指導を受けたい方は、私の個人ホームページ内の「大学院受験希望者のためのQ&A」を参考にしてください。)

◆教養教育院では、初修外国語(いわゆる第二外国語)の朝鮮・韓国語の授業を担当するとともに、朝鮮・韓国語小部会の主任として、朝鮮・韓国語科目全体のコーディネートをしています。

【研究】

◆私の中心的な研究対象は「音声」です。もともとは言語学的な音声学から出発しましたが、言語学にとどまらない学際的な方向の領域(いわゆる「音声科学」)にも、言語学寄りの領域(音声学・音韻論インターフェース、実験音韻論など)にも関心を持ってきました。また、社会言語学的な方向で、音声の変化と変異や社会音声学にも関心を持っています。

◆具体的に研究対象としてきたのは、主に日本語と朝鮮・韓国語の諸方言です。また、音声のうちでもとりわけ、韻律(アクセント、イントネーションなど)の研究に主として取り組んできました。

◆一方で、最近は音声からは少し離れたところで、朝鮮・韓国語教育に直結しうるような研究にも関心をもっています。特に、学習者のハングル(文字)習得に関して、ディスレクシア研究の観点を取り入れたプロジェクトを立ち上げ、共同研究を始めました。

◆このほか、共同研究として様々なプロジェクトに(コミットメントの程度は様々ですが)参画してきました。上に述べた研究以外で、最近かかわっている主なプロジェクトは以下の通りです。

◇アニメの声質
◇言語獲得(とりわけ音声・音韻の獲得)、マザリーズ
◇保育士の音声
◇社会・文化心理学的観点からの国際比較(新型コロナウイルスに関する心理学的研究を含む)

【その他】

◆共働きで子供が二人います。ワークライフバランスを個人のレベルで、職場のレベルで、そして社会のレベルでどのように成り立たせていくかに、常に関心を持っています。

    Japanese anime is noteworthy for being dubbed by professional voice actors and is unique in its vocal
    characteristics. In this study, recordings were taken of students of voice actor course at a music college
    reading short texts and anime lines in various voice
    types. These recordings were analyzed by focusing on
    the acoustic parameters related to voice quality. The
    results showed that for a repeating task, when
    students were asked to repeat an actual animated
    voice, acoustic parameters such as F0 and sub-band
    harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) clearly captured the
    differences between several anime characters. When
    analyzing recordings of short texts in various voice
    types, a similar trend was found, although not as
    distinct as the repeating task. These results suggest
    that multiple anime voice types have been established
    in Japanese anime and voice quality helps to
    distinguish them.

    We investigated the acquisition of Hangul by Japanese learners of Korean. Japanese-speaking participants listened to Korean syllables and selected the corresponding Hangul. Most participants scored very high on these items, although others struggled with simple items, suggesting that Hangul is not necessarily easy for everyone to learn. Questions with /w/ + vowels had lower accuracy.

    Japanese anime cartoons are characterized by their unique voices, which poses an interesting research opportunity in the study of phonetics. To identify the acoustic characteristics of Japanese anime voices, we analyzed voice quality in Japanese anime. Six seiyu (vocal actor/actress) voices from two recent anime cartoons were included in our analysis. We also analyzed normal Japanese speech from the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ) as control data. Using openSMILE, software for voice quality analysis, we measured several acoustic parameters related to voice quality. The results demonstrate that anime has significantly different values than normal speech does in spectral slope-related parameters such as H1-A3, F1~F3 relative energy, alpha ratio, Hammarberg index, and spectral slope (0.5–1.5 kHz). The results suggest that an anime voice has stronger harmonics than normal speech does.

  4. Ongoing Tonal Change in Seoul Korean: From Tonogenesis and Lexical Diffusion Perspectives Reviewed

    <p>This study reviews the two types of tonal change recently found in contemporary Seoul Korean. The first is the emergence of tones according to the onset at the initial syllable of the accentual phrase. This phenomenon synchronizes the overlapping process of Voice Onset Time (VOT) distribution between lax and aspirated obstruents. Several previous studies have indicated that this dialect is in the middle stage of tonogenesis. The second type of tonal change is the emergence of the H tone in the word <i>il</i>, meaning “one.” The present study examines the possibility of interpreting the two phenomena as lexical diffusion.</p>

    Acculturation processes and intergroup experiences of minority groups have been little studied in East Asian societies, including Japan. The number of migrants in Japanese society is steadily increasing, suggesting that the country is a new immigration destination in the 21st century. Therefore, further research on the acculturation processes of immigrants in Japan is warranted. This study examined the relationships among acculturation attitudes, coping strategies, and psychological adjustment in a sample of South Korean newcomers living in Japan. The results of this study support the integration hypothesis, which states that balanced acculturation attitudes that favor engagement in both the host and home cultures lead to higher levels of psychological and sociocultural adaptation. Assimilation attitudes did not contribute significantly to adaptation. Different coping strategies employed by individuals during interethnic discrimination mediated the links between individual acculturation attitudes and the two aspects of adaptation. By linking acculturation attitudes and relevant social behaviors, this study sheds light on the role of coping strategies as mediators of the relationships between acculturation attitudes and psychological and sociocultural adjustment in ethnic minority groups.

    <p>This study aimed to investigate the phonetic characteristics and allophonic conditioning of Bengali voiceless sibilants. We measured M1 (weighted average) and M2 (standard deviation) through a spectral moment analysis of fricative spectra and the F2 of post-consonantal vowels with data collected from four native speakers. The analysis suggests that allophonic [s] typically appears at the onset of word-initial consonant clusters. It also reveals individual differences in allophonic conditioning. The comparison between our results and previous studies of Mandarin Chinese voiceless sibilants suggests that Bengali /ʃ/ is phonetically closer to Mandarin Chinese /ʂ/ than /ɕ/.</p>

  17. Characters for which Korean language learners make mistakes frequently: A multiple-choice test analysis of Japanese learners of Korean International journal

    Our ongoing research project aims to elucidate the process of Hangul learning and individual differences among Korean language learners in Japan, adopting the developmental dyslexia research perspective. In this presentation, we will report the results of a multiple-choice test analysis conducted as part of this project, focusing on characters for which learners are likely to make errors. The test was conducted on beginner-level learners of Korean as a second foreign language at Japanese universities. It consisted of seven questions, each of which played a monosyllabic Korean sound and presented a choice of four characters. Tests were conducted nine times during the semester. The questions consisted of the following seven patterns: (1) alternation of the basic vowel jamo, (2) alternation of the composite vowel jamo, (3) alternation of the basic consonant jamo, (4) alternation of the basic vowel jamo in the heavy syllable, (5) alternation of the basic consonant jamo (with fictional characters as options), (6) alternation of the composite vowel jamo (with fictional characters as options), and (7) random alternation of characters. Analysis of the test results, with particular attention to question type, revealed significantly lower percentages of correct responses in (2), (4), (5), and (6) question types compared to type (7). For question type (6), which had the lowest percentage of correct answers, an examination of error trends revealed that there was a particularly large number of cases of incorrectly selecting fictitious characters, with o replaced by u for the /wa/ sound. The results of the above errors may be explained by the concept of transparency among the "hypothesis of granularity and transparency" presented by Wydell & Butterworth (1999) in their study of developmental dyslexia. That is, the Korean phoneme /w/ may correspond to o or u in spelling, and there is no one-to-one correspondence between phoneme and jamo. This suggests that special attention should be paid to the teaching of composite vowels representing the /w/ sound in Korean language education. We would like to further examine the tendency of low-scoring groups after increasing the number of collaborators, and to investigate other cases where transparency may be relevant, such as the spelling of words involving morphophonological rules, in the future.

    Authorship:Lead author   Language:Japanese   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher:The Japan Experimental Linguistics Society  

    <p>This preliminary study focuses on a phonetic variation of the velar nasal, which appears as an allophone of /g/ in several Japanese dialects. The author investigated two dialects, Gujo (Gifu prefecture) and Kitaibaraki (Ibaraki prefecture), both of which were considered to have the velar nasal according to previous studies. Tokens containing /g/ in the recorded data were analyzed through the inspection of spectrograms. As a result, the author identified two patterns, the typical velar nasal stop and the nasalized velar approximant. The latter pattern was acoustically characterized as the lack of formant damping, which is one of the most significant characteristics of a nasal stop. It is not clear whether this variation correlates with sociolinguistic factors such as region. More data are needed to answer this question.</p>

    Our ongoing research project aims to elucidate the process of Hangul learning and individual differences among Korean language learners in Japan, adopting the developmental dyslexia research perspective. In this presentation, we will report the results of a multiple-choice test analysis conducted as part of this project, focusing on characters for which learners are likely to make errors. The test was conducted on beginner-level learners of Korean as a second foreign language at Japanese universities. It consisted of seven questions, each of which played a monosyllabic Korean sound and presented a choice of four characters. Tests were conducted nine times during the semester. The questions consisted of the following seven patterns: (1) alternation of the basic vowel jamo, (2) alternation of the composite vowel jamo, (3) alternation of the basic consonant jamo, (4) alternation of the basic vowel jamo in the heavy syllable, (5) alternation of the basic consonant jamo (with fictional characters as options), (6) alternation of the composite vowel jamo (with fictional characters as options), and (7) random alternation of characters. Analysis of the test results, with particular attention to question type, revealed significantly lower percentages of correct responses in (2), (4), (5), and (6) question types compared to type (7). For question type (6), which had the lowest percentage of correct answers, an examination of error trends revealed that there was a particularly large number of cases of incorrectly selecting fictitious characters, with o replaced by u for the /wa/ sound. The results of the above errors may be explained by the concept of transparency among the "hypothesis of granularity and transparency" presented by Wydell & Butterworth (1999) in their study of developmental dyslexia. That is, the Korean phoneme /w/ may correspond to o or u in spelling, and there is no one-to-one correspondence between phoneme and jamo. This suggests that special attention should be paid to the teaching of composite vowels representing the /w/ sound in Korean language education. We would like to further examine the tendency of low-scoring groups after increasing the number of collaborators, and to investigate other cases where transparency may be relevant, such as the spelling of words involving morphophonological rules, in the future. By doing so, we would like to obtain further suggestions on how the teaching of the Korean writing system should be conducted according to learners’ characteristics.

    「声」のことばの型が成立する(レジスター化する)様相を,声優たちが演じるアニメの声質の音響的な特性とその声が喚起する「萌え」「カワイイ」等の情動との関係を手がかりに,日本およびその他の異なる地域・文化等における調査により捉える。その結果を,社会言語学,音声学,現代思想,メディア論,さらには生物言語学の観点から分野横断的・融合的に考察し,ことばの文化的制度化が言語の普遍性と社会・文化の個別性の相互作用によって生じる様相を総合的に捉え,言語文化研究の新たな方向性を示すことを試みる。
    本研究は,「声」のことばの型が成立(レジスター化)する様相を,アニメの声質の音響的な特性とその声が喚起する「カワイイ」等の情動との関係を手がかりに,日本およびその他地域・文化等で調査する。その結果を,社会言語学,音声学,現代思想,メディア論,生物言語学の観点から分野横断的・融合的に考察し,ことばの文化的制度化が言語の普遍性と社会・文化の個別性の相互作用によって生じる様相を捉え,言語文化研究の新たな方向性を示すことを試みる。本年度は以下のような実績を上げた。
    (1) 声優コース大学生(女性)の音声データを分析し,アニメの4タイプの女性キャラクター(かわいい,女性勇者,大人の女性,ボーイッシュ)の母音「あ」の声質の音響的特徴を探った。①フォルマント:F1,F2周波数は,「かわいい」 は高い周波数領域に,「勇者」 は低い周波数領域に,「大人」と「ボーイッシュ」は中間に位置するなど,フォルマント周波数がキャラクターの違いに関連すること,またF1~F3の強度は,「かわいい」だけが顕著に強く,声質の目立ちに寄与している可能性が高いことがわかった。②スペクトル傾斜:統計分析の結果,息漏れ性に関連する特徴(H1-H2, H1-A3など)については,「かわいい」は負の相関を示すこと,またエネルギーに関する特徴(alpha ratio, Hammarberg indexなど)を見ると,「かわいい」が高周波数帯域のエネルギーが強いことから共鳴性の強い声であることが示唆された。③基本周波数(F0):「かわいい」は一般の認識どおりに顕著に高い平均値を示した。これらのことから,「カワイイ」声には音響的に見て一定の型があるのではないかと考えられる。
    (2) 現代日本文化におけるアニメの声の社会的意味と音響的特徴の関連性を捉える枠組みについての提案を,EAJSなどの学会において発表した。
    本年度は,研究の第1段階として,①アニメの声質の特徴を捉えるために,音声による感情認識と関連のある音響パラメータ(周波数,エネルギー,スペクトル傾斜等の特徴)を計測するための分析を行うこと,②一般人女性の声を収録して比較し,アニメの声質の一般的な音響的特性を明らかにすること,③アニメの受容状況やファンの活動等について,海外のアニメ関連イベント等での観察やインタビュー等の調査を行うことを予定していた。①に関してはおおよそ予定していたような進捗状況まで達した。しかしながら,コロナ禍の影響は予想した以上に大きく,②については対面での調査が困難であったこと,③については海外への渡航が著しく制限され調査を行うことができなかったことなどから,(4)という評価にした。
    これまで行えなかった調査を実施して遅れを取り戻し,研究の第2段階に向けた準備を進める。①今年度行った声質の分析をさらに進めて情動との関連を追求する,②一般人女性の声のデータを収集し,声優コース学生の声と比較する準備をする,③1970~90年代ごろの古いアニメと近年のアニメの声質に変化が見られるかどうかを検討する,④オリジナルの日本アニメと海外の吹き替えの比較を行う準備を進める,⑤声優による新たな音声資料の収集を計画する,⑥声と触感性などの文化的概念の関連の検討を進める,⑦アニメの受容状況やファンの活動等について,アニメ関連のイベント等での観察やインタビュー等の調査を行う,⑧これらの点を整理して,第2段階の調査の準備を行う。

    韓国語(朝鮮語)は日本の多くの大学で第二外国語科目となっており,多くの学習者によって学ばれている。韓国語学習の特徴の一つは,「ハングル」という新たな文字を学ぶ点にある。韓国語教員の視点からみると,経験的にいってハングルの習得には個人差がある。しかし,どのような個人差があるのか,なぜ個人差が生じるのか,習得の困難さが他の能力と関係しているのか,といった点は明らかにされていない。本研究課題では,これらの疑問に挑む。
    2020年度に進めてきた準備をふまえ、2021年度は5月からオンラインのテストを実施した。
    テストの設計は、かつて研究代表者らが行ったハングル書き取り調査(宇都木・神長 2018)で明らかになった課題をふまえてなされている。このときの調査では、音声刺激を再生して書きとらせるテストを行ったが、そこでの誤答が文字習得上の問題と音声知覚上の問題のいずれに起因するのかを判別するのが困難であった。この点をふまえ、今回の調査では、テストを多肢選択とし、音声知覚上の間違えやすいような選択肢をあらかじめ排除することで、文字習得の問題にフォーカスを当てられるような設計にした。
    今回のテストの概要は次の通りである。テストの対象は名古屋大学と東海大学において韓国語の初級授業を履修中の学生である。テストは7問から構成され、単音節の音声を聞いて該当するハングルを4つの選択肢から選択するという形式である。このとき、音声刺激のタイプは (i) 母音、 (ii) w+母音、(iii) 子音+母音、(iv) 子音+母音+子音、(v) 子音+母音(反転した架空の子音字母を選択肢に含む)、 (vi) w+母音(母音字母の組み合わせによる架空の文字を選択肢に含む)、 (vii) ランダムに選択された文字、という7通りとした。テストは学期中に9回実施した。また、秋学期に新たに参加者を募り、同様のテストを実施した。
    協力者ごとに全テストの平均点を算出し、その分布をみたところ、多くの参加者が満点に近い高得点を示した一方で、低得点を示す参加者がわずかながら見られた。問題パターン別にみると、/w/音の合成母音とかかわる問題(パターン2とパターン6)において誤答が多い傾向にあった。
    初期の分析結果について、日韓学術交流会で口頭発表を行った。その後、問題パターン別の分析など詳細な分析を行った上で、朝鮮語教育学会において口頭発表を行った。
    2020年度は新型コロナウイルス感染拡大の影響で当初予定していた調査ができなかったが、その間にオンライン調査の方向に切り替えて準備を進めたことで、2021年度は年度初めからオンライン調査を実施することができた。
    2021年度のオンライン調査においては、参加者の大半が予想以上の高得点を示したが、wとかかわる問題パターンにおいては誤答も比較的多く見られた。これは、ハングルにおいてwを含む文字は音と文字の一対一対応がなされていない(つまり、綴りの透明度が低い)ため、文字習得上の難易度が高かったためと考えられる。この点をふまえ、2022年度の調査では、綴りに音韻規則がかかわる単語を問うような問題をオンラインテストに加え、綴りの透明度と文字習得の関係をさらに明らかにしたい。

    From the perspectives of linguistics and media studies, we tried to see how the acoustic quality of the anime voice performed by voice actors is established as a sociocultural entity which is internalized in the contemporary Japanese society. Our main findings are as follows: (1) The anime voice has its own unique characteristics in the spectral slope, which indicates that it contains more harmonic components. (2) To see how the anime voice is being embedded in popular culture, it is necessary to consider voice actor's "performance" designing anime characters, anime fan's "acceptance (consumption)" of characters molded by voice actors, and "emotional engagement" that fans feel for voice actors. (3) Other fields of media studies and linguistics such as auditory culture studies or the theory of sound symbol could provide promising perspectives for discussing the interrelated nature of anime, voice, and voice actor's body.

    Kesa tsukutta ryoori o sutete simatta.
    This Japanese sentence has two interpretations. In the first interpretation, kesa (“this morning”) modifies tsukutta (“cooked”); “I threw away dishes which I cooked this morning.” In the second interpretation, kesa modifies sutete simatta (“threw away”); “This morning I threw away dishes which I cooked (some days ago).” These two interpretations can be distinguished by compressing pitch in some parts. I call this phenomenon “local F0 downtrends.” Although this phenomenon is observed in many languages, there have been fewer studies on phonetic differences of local F0 downtrends and categorical (phonological) differences of this phenomenon among languages. This research project focused on local F0 downtrends in Japanese and Korean. Since I take more time than expected, I have not reported clear results yet.

  10. On the theory of language acquisition and change with the influence of media

    The mass media broadcasting is often regarded as an influential cause of language change. This comes from the fact that people have observed a huge scale of nationwide de-dialectization or dialect levelling since the 1960’s after the advent of TV. However, sociolinguists have been skeptical about its effect, because there are few studies which successfully demonstrate the influence of media on language with a scientifically persuasive manner. This study attempted to provide some evidence in terms of variation theory, indicating that the media contents seem to be relevant to the tonal changes observed in Kagoshima Japanese, and to suggest a tentative view of language acquisition and language change under the influence of media.

    This study considered the fundamental linguistic characteristics and variations in the Ibaraki and Chiba dialects. Particularly, we focused on analyzing the pronunciation of voiced stops and the postpositional particles. Examining the pronunciation of voiced stops, previous literature identified two types of pronunciation: One type is dominant in Tohoku; the other type is dominant in other parts of Japan. Our results revealed that Tohoku and most of Ibaraki share a characteristic pronunciation, whereas the dialect of a limited area in southwest Ibaraki features a coexistence of both types. Concerning the grammatical aspect, we proposed a new hypothesis on the origin of the particle “ge.”

    In cooperation with East Asian researchers on cognitive neuroscience of language, we conducted experiments in Japan, China, and South Korea. The results revealed the relationship between linguistic diversity and human brain, and internationally published as journal articles or conference presentations. Among them, the result of an event-related potential study on honorific attitudes and expressions clarified the impact of cultural differences in language processing in the brain. It was presented at international conferences held in Germany (Berlin) and Japan (Tokyo and Hiroshima) as invited lectures or symposium lectures.

    This study aimed to argue a possibility of language change that seemed to be taking place at the prosody level in regional dialects of Japanese by investigating variation of F0 movement in multiple accentual phrase(MAP). The results showed that (1) the younger generation in Sapporo and Fukuoka used narrower F0 range than the older counter part, (2) gender seemed the key factor for this variation in Kagoshima, and (3) stylistic difference was not statistically confirmed.

    研究計画に記載したように,本研究の目的は,韻律における離散性と連続性を検証するアプローチを生み出し,それをアクセントやイントネーションの諸現象に適用することである。これは,研究の客観性を高めるという点で,韻律研究において大きな進展をもたらしうる。1年目の本年は,当初の予定通り,アクセントを対象とし,高音声変異連続再生課題(high phonetic variability sequence recall task)を試した。
    高音声変異連続再生課題は,被験者に2通りの無意味語を学習してもらったのち,これらの音声を連続して聞かせ,単語の順番を当てさせるという実験である。共通語話者(南関東出身者)のほかに,方言学において伝統的に無アクセントといわれてきた南東北の出身者も被験者とした。実験の結果は,高音声変異連続再生課題がアクセントの離散性の検討に有効であることを示すものであった。この手法はこれまでとられてきた範疇知覚実験のようなアプローチよりも頑健であると考えられ,その点において方法論上の進歩をもたらすものである。研究結果は2010年5月にシカゴで開催される国際会議Speech Prosody 2010において発表する予定である(採択済み)。
    その一方で,当研究課題が採択される以前から行っていた朝鮮語慶尚道方言の研究の結果が,学術誌Language Researchに掲載された。これは,慶尚南道馬山・昌原方言において二つの音調型が合流しつつあることを示したものである。朝鮮語のアクセントは当研究課題における検討対象の一つでもあるため,この論文で扱った内容は当研究課題の基礎をなすものでもある。
