Yoshikazu Kawaguchi
(Laboratry for Life and Language)

Paper long abstract:
This proposal deals with the issue of "insufficiently contextualized" sentences often found in elementary Japanese textbooks, which might hinder the realization of plurilingualism in Europe. The author of the proposal shows how the grammatical items used for supposition or condition, for example, are given in sentence examples or for practices in textbooks. He compares these usages of grammatical items with those in the "BTSJ Conversation Corpus" and reveals that there is a wide divergence between them. With this research result, the author argues possible ways of making a good use the corpus for designing and improving teaching materials of Japanese grammar in Europe.
