RESEARCH GRANTS•

Theoretical and Empirical Research on Linguistic Knowledge and Performance among
Second / Third Language Learners and Heritage Speakers. supported by Grant-in-Aid for
Scientific Research (B) from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology, Japan. Principal Researcher: Makiko Hirakawa (Chuo University). Other
project members include John Matthews (Chuo University), Tomo Matsui (Chuo
University), Michiko Fukuda, Kazue Takeda (Bunkyo University), Kazunori Suzuki(Kogakuin University), Neal Snape and Mari Umeda (Gunma Prefectural Women’s
University) (2022-2025).
[This research targets second language (L2), third language (L3), and heritage language, anddevelops their linguistic knowledge (especially form / syntax, pragmatics) and linguistic
performance (especially for sentence processing and pragmatics). The purpose is to clarify
the relationship between the two and the influence between languages. In today's globalizedsociety, research on L2, L3, and heritage languages is a socially important issue. If linguisticcompetence is low, there is a high possibility that linguistic performance problems will
occur and smooth communication with others will not be established. In addition, when
multiple languages are involved, there is a possibility that the promotion effect andsuppression effect will work in the process of learning the mother tongue (L1) / heritage
language / L2 / L3. Specifically, we will conduct empirical research focusing on thefollowing language acquisition environment, aiming for theoretical contribution and social
contribution to language education: Inheritance of foreign children and adults living in Japan(Acquisition and retention in a limited environment such as home), Japanese (learning L2 /L3 in a natural environment such as school or society), foreign languages including English(L2 / L3 in a limited foreign language learning environment such as a classroom) L3
acquisition), languages of multilingual speakers residing in Western countries (acquisitionof L2, L3, inherited words)].

Development of the English Nominal Domain in Adult Second Language, supported by
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,

Women’s University). Other project members include Mari Umeda (Gunma Prefectural
Women’s University) and Hironobu Hosoi (Gunma Prefectural Women’s University),(2017-2023).
[This research project is currently ongoing, and we requested a two-year extension becauseof the coronavirus pandemic. It investigates second language (L2) acquisition of the nominal
domain in English, focusing on the definite article, the, and the count-mass distinction, by
adult Japanese-speaking learners of English. A cross-sectional investigation, testing learners
at different proficiency levels (beginners, elementary, intermediate, advanced and nearnative speakers) will be carried out to examine the following three issues: (i) to what extent
the nominal domain of learners’ first language (L1), i.e., Japanese, influences the definite
article use and count-mass distinction in L1 Japanese/L2 English interlanguage (IL)grammars, (ii) whether or not there are particular developmental IL stages in the acquisitionof the English definite article and count-mass distinction, (iii) what the ultimate attainment(end-state) of the English definite article use and count-mass distinction for Japanesespeaking learners looks like in terms of competence and performance. This study is a

application to English pedagogy, supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B)from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan. Principal

Japanese L2 English L3 Spanish acquisition of articles in English and Spanish. The L3
group is going to compared with an L2 English group.]•

Theoretical and Empirical Research on Sentence Processing and Comprehension among
Heritage Language Speakers and Second Language Learners, supported by Grant-in-Aid

project members include William O’Grady (University of Hawaii), John Matthews (Chuo
University), Michiko Fukuda, Kazue Takeda (Bunkyo University), Kazunori Suzuki(Kogakuin University), Neal Snape and Mari Umeda (Gunma Prefectural Women’s
University), (2017 – 2023)[This research project is currently ongoing, and we requested a two-year extension becauseof the coronavirus pandemic. This project is an extension of the previous projects with theaim of testing heritage learners of Japanese in Hawaii, L1 Chinese L2 Japanese adults,
Japanese native speakers in sentence processing using eye-tracking equipment. Project
members have already collected and analyzed data and haver presented findings at
international conferences (see enclosed C.V for details). We hope to be able to collect moredata this year.]•

Theoretical and Empirical Research on Cross-linguistic Effects in Heritage and Second
Language Acquisition, supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) from the

Researcher: Makiko Hirakawa (Chuo University). Other project members include John
Matthews (Chuo University), Michiko Fukuda, Kazue Takeda (Bunkyo University), Yahiro
Hirakawa (Tokyo Institute of Technology), Neal Snape and Mari Umeda (Gunma
Prefectural Women’s University), (2015 – 2017).
[This research project aimed to investigate the acquisition of Japanese, English, and Tagalog
by heritage speakers and L2 learners using both offline and online methods. Studies
targeting the interpretations of and online processing of Japanese reflexives by Japanesenative speakers, Chinese-speaking learners of Japanese and heritage speakers of Japanese(L1 English) have been conducted. In an offline task, Chinese-speaking learners showed that
their interpretations of Japanese reflexives were not target-like, likely due to L1 influence.

[This research project aimed to clarify (1) how the children of foreign nationals living inJapan acquire the Japanese language and lose their first languages, (2) how L1 Japanesechildren who return from English-speaking countries retain or lose the L2 language(English), and (3) how L1 (Japanese or English) affects L2 (English or Japanese) acquisitionof grammar, morphology and phonology. The above studies have collected cross-sectional
and longitudinal data to shed new light on the issues of previous research on L2 language
acquisition and L1 retention and attrition and to improve the previous analyses of thoseissues.]•The Acquisition of English Article Use and Tense by Japanese Learners after the Sensitive
