Research Details |
| Anne M. Crescini |
I am currently researching the impact that the overseas study abroad experience has not only on the English ability of university students, but also on increasing their level of cultural awareness. I am also researching the impact of foreign loanwords on the English pronunciation of native Japanese speakers. |

My primary research fields are corpus linguistics—which covers style, register, rhetoric, and lexico-grammatical features—as well as the analysis of learner corpus and its application for second language acquisition. |
| Roger J.A. Prior |
I am studying translation methods and techniques, paying particular regard to the translation of humour. I am focussing on how jokes and wit, which are rooted in culture and language, can be translated into a different system of signs. |

I have been using ICT and other technological devices for various educational purposes. |

My research interests are concerned with how our linguistic and encyclopedic knowledge of a word, especially a verb, is organized, and how the verb's semantics is associated with sentence patterns. I am currently making a contrastive study of the English ditransitive construction and its Japanese counterpart, and verbs that are associated with each construction. I would like to elucidate the differences and similarities in how the giving and receiving situations (in a literal and metaphorical sense) are encoded in each language system. |
