研究概要
自然言語の意味的特性について、①類像性、②メタファーの２つのテーマを扱っています。
①言語の諸側面にみられる類像性を分析し、その構造と役割を明らかにしてゆくことにより、言語における恣意性と非恣意性の関係を考察することを目的に、研究を進めています。言語の類像性が表れる側面として、(1) 音象徴の身体的動機づけ、(2) オノマトペの通言語的構造と特性、(3) 詩的言語の構造と特性、の３項目を柱とし、共同研究者とともに認知言語学的アプローチにより研究を行っています。
②概念領域間の写像によって成りたつ概念メタファーの構造を、時間・空間・感情などの領域を中心に分析しています。

Summary
Our research explores the nature of natural language by investigating two aspects of language: iconicity and metaphor.
1. Iconicity: We investigate the relationship between arbitrariness and unarbitrariness in natural language by analyzing structures and functions of iconicity. We focus on three aspects of iconicity in language: [1] embodied motivations of sound symbolism, [2] cross-linguistic properties of mimetics, and [3] structures and characteristics of poetic language.
2. Metaphor: Our goal is to clarify structures of conceptual mappings between different conceptual domains such as time, space, and emotions.
