Research Projects

Universals in language change, from a typological perspective, are my main concern. In light of the synchronic and diachronic descriptive study of English deverbal prepositions (my Ph.D. research project; see Hayashi 2015 in detail), I am currently working on English/Japanese comparison of grammaticalized expressions, with respect to the field of theoretical linguistics, namely semantics and pragmatics. Major research achievements include series of studies on lexicalization/constructionalization of Japanese novel expressions and grammaticalization observed in Hateruma Ryukyuan, all of which are published in Japanese:
