Biographical statement
I am currently working on two main projects. The first is called "Interactive Modality", which tries to shed light on the system of spoken conversation, by formalising the speaker's various concerns toward the other conversation party. The other is called "Syllable development for Japanese elementary courses", which is related to my teaching. It aims at developing a holistic approach which allows beginning learners of the Japanese language to master functional/situational expressions as well as grammatical knowledge, systematically.
Research interests
Japanese-Korean linguistics, Spoken discourse, Unique features of Japanese spoken conversation, Phonology (Government Phonology)
