Impact of food-related emotional changes on cerebral hemodynamic response
An Advanced Reading Course in Japanese with Wikipedia
This paper proposes integrating the activity of Wikipedia-article authoring into an advanced-level Japanese reading course. With its unprecedented wealth of information and unique feature of collaborative writing, Wikipedia has been recognized as a powerful pedagogical tool. Nevertheless, adapting it to a course requires a considerable amount of planning and preparation. Probably because of this high threshold, it is yet to be widely employed by …
Frame integration and head-switching
Employing Frame Semantics as implemented in the Berkeley FrameNet database, this paper analyzes English sentences expressing concerns of risk derived from the British National Corpus and their Japanese translations (created for the purposes of the current study). It introduces the ideas of content and interpretation predicates, frame integration, and head-switching as effectual devices for recognizing obscure constructional equivalences across la…
The annotative dual-clause juxtaposition construction in Japanese
This study introduces an enigmatic construction in Japanese called chūshakuteki nibun-renchi ‘annotative dual-clause juxtaposition’ (ADCJ), exemplified below: Hiro wa , dare ni au no ka , resutoran o yoyakushita . top who dat meet nmlz int restaurant acc reserved Lit. ‘Hiro, (I wonder) who (he) will meet, reserved a restaurant.’ This construction is ubiquitous and yet little known even in Japanese linguistics circles. Because the matrix predicate…
Tooth Loss Related with Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in a General Urban Japanese Population
We examined whether the number of teeth could be a surrogate marker for metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in cross-section. A total of 3771 individuals from the general urban Japanese population (1690 men, 2081 women; mean age 67.1 ± 11.0 years) participated in this study. Participants were diagnosed with MetS with three or more components hypertension, hyperglycemia, lipid metabolism abnormality, and abnormal abdominal girth. Questionnaires were ad…
Effects of Interval Walking Training on Oral Health Status in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of walking training "Interval Walking Training (IWT)" on oral health status. Participants were divided into two groups: an exercise intervention group and a non-intervention group (control). The intervention group consisted of 59 subjects (20 males, 39 females) aged 50 years or older who participated in the IWT program in Matsumoto from 2019 to April 2022. The control group consisted of 33 sub…
The sentence-final particles ne and yo in soliloquial Japanese
This paper investigates the Japanese sentence-final particles ne and yo as they occur in soliloquy. Because of their pivotal roles in spoken Japanese, these particles have been investigated extensively for decades. However, most previous works have analyzed them solely in terms of communication, invariably assuming the presence of an addressee. In fact, it is not yet widely known that these particles can also occur in soliloquy in which communica…

Association between Physical Frailty Subdomains and Oral Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
This cross-sectional study aimed to demonstrate the association between physical frailty subdomains and oral frailty. This study involved community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥65 years). Physical frailty was assessed with the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. Oral frailty was defined as limitations in at least three of six domains. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between physical frail…
Factors Affecting Masticatory Satisfaction in Patients with Removable Partial Dentures
(1) Background: The degree of satisfaction with dental treatment varies among patients, and the discrepancy may exist between the patient's subjective evaluation and the objective assessment. Further, the optimal methods for increasing patient satisfaction with mastication remain unclear. This study aimed to identify factors affecting masticatory satisfaction in patients with removable partial dentures. (2) Methods: A total of 132 participants (7…
Does Oral Hypofunction Promote Social Withdrawal in the Older Adults? A Longitudinal Survey of Elderly Subjects in Rural Japan
It is often assumed that oral hypofunction is associated with social withdrawal in older adults because decreased motor function is related to decreased oral function. However, few studies have examined the relationship between social withdrawal in older adults and oral function. This longitudinal study aimed to clarify the relationship between changes in the level of social withdrawal and oral function in independent older adults. Participants w…
Is a History of Falling Related to Oral Function? A Cross-Sectional Survey of Elderly Subjects in Rural Japan
These results revealed that the risk of falling might be lessened by maintaining healthy teeth occlusion and promoting healthy oral function
On the universality of frames
This paper investigates the cross-linguistic applicability of the concept of frame as developed in the Berkeley FrameNet project. We examine whether the frames created for the annotation of English texts can also function as a tool for the assessment of the accuracy of English-to-Japanese translations. If the semantic structure of a source text is analyzed in terms of the frames evoked by its constituent words and the ways in which the elements o…
A Study of Soliloquy in Japanese
This paper advocates in-depth investigation of soliloquy (i.e. uttering one’s thoughts without addressing anyone) as a new approach in pragmatics research.∗ Language has been recognized as an instrument of communication and thought. The research exploring the former is enormous, and our understanding of various
Against the social constructionist account of Japanese politeness
This paper examines Cook's analysis of Japanese politeness as an interactional achievement. Taking a social constructionist perspective, and counter to Ide's notion of discernment, Cook contends that social identities and social relationships are fluid, negotiated during the moment-bymoment unfolding of social interactions. Although such cases can exist, they are not the norm. Cook asserts that speakers are not mere observers of social norms, but…
FrameNet as a resource for paraphrase research
Theoretically as well as empirically, paraphrase is a pivotal concept in many academic and nonacademic fields. And yet, its investigation has made very slow progress, due mainly to the lack of a framework that is versatile enough to deal with the nebulous nature of paraphrase in use. This paper demonstrates how the mechanisms of FrameNet can be utilized as a resource for systematic and coherent research into paraphrase. The semantic framework it …
Soliloquy for linguistic investigation
This study advocates the investigation of soliloquy as a new approach in pragmatics research. The primary function of language is arguably to communicate with others, but language is also used to think. Thoughts constantly emerge in confluent streams of images, concepts, and ideas within the mind; to grasp and manage them, we need language. An analysis of soliloquy can open a window to a better understanding of our mental activities. Based on exp…
What the Japanese Language Tells Us about the Alleged Japanese Relational Self
The Japanese have frequently been characterized as ‘collectivistic’ and ‘group-oriented’. This common view is based on the group model of Japanese society, which claims that the Japanese self is relational, fluid, and assimilated into one's in-group as a collective deictic center. Reviewing several major works that cover Japanese society and its language, the present article argues that the collectivist view of the Japanese self is incompatible w…

Fundamental Frequency as an Acoustic Cue to Accent Perception
It is generally recognized that the most significant cue to accent location is fundamental frequency (F o ) in both Japanese and English. Furthermore, it is widely believed that a syllable is perceived as accented if the syllable contains an F o peak. However, Sugito (1972) found that, in Japanese, if an F o peak is followed by a steep F o fall, the syllable preceding the F o peak may be perceived as accented. In this article we present two exper…
