Collaborative Research Projects (FY2009-2015)
The core research projects are large-scale inter-university projects for which the Institute makes an allout effort toward the academic purpose of elucidating the overall picture of the Japanese language. At present, under the leadership of full professors and invited professors, the projects are being implemented on the national and international levels in cooperation with domestic and overseas researchers and research organizations. Concurrently, middle- and small-scale projects have also started: “original/developing-type collaborative research,” which deals with topics that are novel and rich in originality, and “incubation/discovery-type collaborative research,” which is expected to bring forth a new dimension of research in the future.
