2024 Chapter 7. The indeterminacy and fluidity of reference in everyday conversation (Non)referentiality in Conversation, Ewing, Michael C. and Ritva Laury (eds.), pp. 122–139 | Chapter
We focus on (a) the indeterminacy of reference, i.e., noun phrases which are described as having a ‘given’, ‘old’ or ‘definite’ referent, where that referent is unspecified; (b) the ways in which speakers shift reference between categorial and specific designations. The data reveal that talk… read more
2021 Questioning the clause as a crosslinguistic unit in grammar and interaction Usage-based and Typological Approaches to Linguistic Units, Ono, Tsuyoshi, Ritva Laury and Ryoko Suzuki (eds.), pp. 123–160 | Chapter
This paper focuses on ‘clause’, a celebrated structural unit in linguistics, by comparing Finnish and Japanese, two languages which are genetically, typologically, and areally distinct from each other and from English, the language on the basis of which this structural unit has been most… read more
2021 On the notion of unit in the study of human languages Usage-based and Typological Approaches to Linguistic Units, Ono, Tsuyoshi, Ritva Laury and Ryoko Suzuki (eds.), pp. 1–9 | Chapter
2020 Chapter 1. Introduction Fixed Expressions: Building language structure and social action, Laury, Ritva and Tsuyoshi Ono (eds.), pp. 1–10 | Chapter
2020 Chapter 3. Exploration into a new understanding of ‘zero anaphora’ in Japanese everyday talk Fixed Expressions: Building language structure and social action, Laury, Ritva and Tsuyoshi Ono (eds.), pp. 41–70 | Chapter
This chapter examines the phenomenon called ‘zero anaphora’ in Japanese where syntactic arguments, thought to be projected by the predicates, are assumed to be deleted yet their referents are still tracked. A close inspection of representative narrative and interactive segments reveals that… read more
2020 Chapter 12. What can Japanese conversation tell us about ‘NP’? The ‘Noun Phrase’ across Languages: An emergent unit in interaction, Ono, Tsuyoshi and Sandra A. Thompson (eds.), pp. 315–327 | Chapter
Our examination of Japanese everyday conversation reveals that a majority of candidate NPs cannot be established as NPs based on traditional criteria, i.e., marking by particles and modification, since they are generally unmarked and unmodified. We examine these cases to reveal the difficulty of… read more
2020 Chapter 1. Introduction The ‘Noun Phrase’ across Languages: An emergent unit in interaction, Ono, Tsuyoshi and Sandra A. Thompson (eds.), pp. 1–8 | Chapter
2019 Questioning the clause as a crosslinguistic unit in grammar and interaction Usage-based and Typological Approaches to Linguistic Units, Ono, Tsuyoshi, Ritva Laury and Ryoko Suzuki (eds.), pp. 364–401 | Article
This paper focuses on ‘clause’, a celebrated structural unit in linguistics, by comparing Finnish and Japanese, two languages which are genetically, typologically, and areally distinct from each other and from English, the language on the basis of which this structural unit has been most… read more

2017 Negative scope, temporality, fixedness, and right- and left-branching: Implications for typology and cognitive processing Studies in Language 41:3, pp. 543–576 | Article
‘Negative scope’ concerns what it is that is negated in an utterance with a negative morpheme. With English and Japanese conversational data, we show that for an English speaker, calculating negative scope requires that recipients incrementally keep track of all the material in the clause that… read more
2014 The limits of grammar: Clause combining in Finnish and Japanese conversation Approaches to grammar for interactional linguistics, Laury, Ritva, Marja Etelämäki and Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen (eds.), pp. 561–592 | Article
Our paper concerns the grammar of clause combining in Finnish and Japanese conversation. We consider the patterns of clause combining in our data and focus on the verbal and non-verbal cues which allow participants to determine whether, after the end of a clause-sized unit, the turn will end or… read more
2014 Introduction: Situating usage-based (Japanese) linguistics Usage-based Approaches to Japanese Grammar: Towards the understanding of human language, Kabata, Kaori and Tsuyoshi Ono (eds.), pp. 1–10 | Article
2013 Having a shinshii/shiishii ‘master’ around makes you speak Japanese!: Inadvertent contextualization in gathering Ikema data Responses to Language Endangerment: In honor of Mickey Noonan, Mihas, Elena, Bernard Perley, Gabriel Rei-Doval and Kathleen Wheatley (eds.), pp. 141–156 | Article
Everyone brings with them a particular set of contextualization to interaction. After several years of working on the Ikema dialect of Miyako Ryukyuan, we are finally realizing that our very presence as shinshii/shiishii ‘masters’ is one of the major factors encouraging Ikema people to use Japanese. read more
2009 Fixedness in Japanese adjectives in conversation: Toward a new understanding of a lexical (‘part-of-speech’) category Formulaic Language: Volume 1. Distribution and historical change, Corrigan, Roberta, Edith A. Moravcsik, Hamid Ouali and Kathleen Wheatley (eds.), pp. 117–146 | Chapter
Japanese adjectives have received a fair amount of attention for their intriguing morphological and diachronic properties. Adjectives have also been discussed in the typological literature, largely in terms of their status as a lexical category vis-à-vis nouns and verbs. Rather little research has… read more
2008 The messy reality of style shifting Style Shifting in Japanese, Jones, Kimberly and Tsuyoshi Ono (eds.), pp. 1–8 | Chapter
2008 Quotative tte in Japanese: Its multifaceted functions and degrees of "subordination" Crosslinguistic Studies of Clause Combining: The multifunctionality of conjunctions, Laury, Ritva (ed.), pp. 205–230 | Article
This study examines naturally occurring conversations with regard to the syntactic and semantic/pragmatic properties of Japanese quotative particle tte in five different usages and argues that these usages constitute subcategories of the particle tte. Our analysis demonstrates complex and creative… read more
2007 ‘Incrementing’ in conversation. A comparison of practices in English, German and Japanese Turn continuation in cross-linguistic perspective, Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth and Tsuyoshi Ono (eds.), pp. 513–552 | Article
This cross-linguistic study focuses on ways in which conversationalists speak beyond a point of possible turn completion in conversation, specifically on turn extensions which are grammatically dependent, backward-looking and extend the prior action. It argues that further distinctions can be made… read more

A new area of research called Interactional Linguistics highlights linguistic structure in relation to naturally occurring interaction and is characterized by its cross-linguistic orientation. As a contribution to this new area of research, the present volume is a collection of papers with a… read more

2000 The Occurrence and Non-Occurrence of the Japanese Direct Object Marker o in Conversation Studies in Language 24:1, pp. 1–39 | Article
Although in written Japanese grammatical relations such as subject and object are marked by postpositional particles, in informal conversation they may occur without any particles. This paper examines the occurrence and non-occurrence of the direct object marker o in spontaneous informal… read more
