Research Interests

My primary research interest is the acoustic-phonetic realisations of phonological features, such as tone and accent, particularly in Japanese dialects. Japanese is rich in dialectal varieties. The accentuations of many Japanese dialects have been auditorily described and phonologically analysed. However, the acoustic-phonetic realisations of the accentual/tonal contrasts of Japanese dialects have not been studied in detail. I am particularly interested in the relationships between the accentual/tonal contrasts of phonologically-typologically different Japanese dialects and their acoustic-phonetic realisations, aiming at an acoustic-phonetic based reconstruction of Japanese dialects.
