1. Linguistics, Modern Japanese Linguistics ──Semantics, Pragmatics, Speech Function Theory──

2. Human Science ──Humanology, Philosophical Anthropology, Cognitive Science──

3. Japanese Language Teaching
 

The Topic of Study

   Our current topics are (1)to reconstruct interpersonal modality in Japanese grammar into sentence function which are defined by propositional content conditionsand (2)to describe the grammatical feature of the predicate vocabulary in the proposition. We are now studying in the area among morphology, syntax, lexicology, etc, but the concept of sentence function need result of pragmatics and speech act theory, and philosophy of language.
     Our middle-range objective is (3)to describe the relation between structure and function of language as logic as possible, and as rigid as possible.
     And our long-range objective is (4)to study about human who have a profound mentality and a dignity of life
──Humanology rather than linguistics──.
