Kinship Terms in the Address Practices in Contemporary Chinese, Korean and Japanese: A Sociocultural Analysis with a Focus on the Cases of Aunts and Uncles
This study investigates the use of kinship terms for addressing family members among native speakers of three Northeast Asian languages: Chinese, Korean and Japanese. A comparative analysis was performed with responses from an online survey on how respondents address their parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, focusing on similarities and differences across these languages. The findings indicate that Chinese speakers adhere most closely to tra…
Nourishing Through Dialects of Care: Linguistic Hospitality and Identity in a Hiroshima Kodomoshokudō
This study explores how speaker identity emerges in interactions within kodomoshokudō (children's diners) in Japan, focusing on the speech patterns of Chikako Nakamoto, who operates Motomachi no Ie in Hiroshima prefecture, providing meals and support to juveniles in special circumstances. The data are primarily drawn from a documentary capturing Nakamoto's interactions with children and minors who come to eat. The study analyzes routine phrases a…

Generic and vague uses of a second-person singular pronoun in an open-class person-reference system and speaker creativity in reported speech: The case of anata in Japanese
This study analyzes hitherto neglected uses of a second-person singular (2sg hereafter) pronoun in Japanese: the ‘generic’ and ‘vague’ uses of the 2sg pronoun anata observed in reported speech.

First, it refutes the broader assumption in typological studies that languages with an open-class pronominal system, such as Japanese and Korean, do not allow generic uses of 2sg (Kitagawa and Lehrer 1990. Impersonal uses o…
Don’t call me obasan ‘aunt’
This study investigates the use of the kinship term obasan “aunt” as an address term in Japanese by analysing three types of data: metalinguistic discourse in online discussion; the most typical collocates for the term in a large corpus of Japanese websites; and the results of a survey of native speakers. The study demonstrates that address practices towards aunts appear to be changing. The most typically collocated adjectives and adjectival noun…
