  • Japanese and French specificational sentences with left-dislocation and the questions they induce

    Makoto KanekoARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2025

    This study examines the nature of questions induced in Japanese and French specificational sentences with left-dislocation. Despite their superficial similarities, the two constructions show the following differences. In Japanese, such constructions are almost exclusively found in monologic discourse, where the speaker speaks one-sidedly; a clear pause is required after the dislocated item, whose head is a lexical noun. In contrast, the French co…

    Open AccessMakoto Kaneko, Fumihiro Saitoh et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2025

    Open AccessMakoto KanekoARTICLEOpen Linguistics2024

    This study argues that conjectural or non-intrusive questions are not only conveyed by future forms, as often discussed, but may be induced, combined with contextual factors, by past forms. Conjectural and non-intrusive questions are, respectively, uttered when the addressee is assumed as ignoring the answer and when she isn’t forced to answer. What is claimed to be conjectural or non-intrusive includes i) polite questions involving the French ma…

  • Associations of Patient Experience in Primary Care With Hospitalizations and Emergency Department Visits on Isolated Islands

    Open AccessMakoto Kaneko, Takuya Aoki et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2019

    PURPOSE: In rural areas, the management of hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits is an important issue, and it is compounded by factors such as the long distance to secondary care facilities, funding difficulties in many rural medical institutions, and shortage of medical staff. While better patient experience (PX) has been shown to reduce hospitalizations and ED visits, previous studies have not considered the differences between…

    Makoto KanekoARTICLEModèles linguistiques2007
