研究上の興味・関心：

連鎖的に組織された相互行為空間の中で教え、学ぶことの「間身体性」(intercorporeality)「多感覚性」(multisensoriality) について、また、マルチモーダル会話分析 (CA) の知見を言語教育の現場に応用することに興味があります。博士論文では、音楽やスポーツ等のパフォーマンス場面における訂正・教示連鎖を分析しました。現在は、ライフスタイル・スポーツに焦点を置いて研究しています。

現在の関心：

  • ライフスタイル・スポーツ、特にスケートボードにおける「遊び」と「学び」の関係性について
  • スケートボード文化における秩序の社会的達成、参加者が身体や道具に与える意味づけ
  • マルチモーダル会話分析 (CA) とエスノグラフィーの手法を組み合わせ、これらを相互行為的視座から特定すること

    <jats:p>
    Employing multimodal conversation analysis, this article examines a single episode of interaction taken from a studio session, during which two musicians check a chord progression. It illustrates how intra-activity micro-transitions are solely achieved through embodied actions. The detailed analysis reveals (a) how the suspension of “playing-along” is occasioned to exhibit participants’ orientation to auditory objects whose “turning-on” makes relevant disengagement from other interactional involvements; and (b) how the temporal complexities of multiactivity are contingently managed in exclusive order, explicating (c) members’ embodied practices for working around the organizational constraints of the auditory objects.

  • Enacting burikko

    　View Summary

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
    <jats:p>Adopting a single case analysis, this article examines how the learning of the Japanese word <jats:italic>burikko</jats:italic> is occasioned in a bilingual lunch conversation through enactments that are employed for three interactional purposes: (a) renewal of laughter, (b) vocabulary explanation (VE), and (c) demonstration of understanding. The interactional analysis is enhanced by Praat to respecify the role of prosody in enactments. I first describe how <jats:italic>burikko</jats:italic>, the <jats:italic>laughable</jats:italic> of a humor sequence, becomes a <jats:italic>learnable</jats:italic> through a repair sequence. I then analyze a reinitiated joking sequence, where the VE recipient categorizes one of the co-participants as <jats:italic>burikko</jats:italic> and escalates the categorization through multimodal enactments. I argue that this jocular mockery, occasioning a demonstration of understanding, exhibits that the learning opportunity has been taken. Furthermore, I discuss how a repair work embedded within a larger humor-oriented activity may afford resources for language learning outside of the classroom, while sacrificing progressivity for intersubjectivity. The fact that the VE recipient, after intersubjectivity has been achieved, resumes the original activity of pursuing humor through the same means employed for the explanation of the target word offers interesting implications for CA-SLA and pragmatics.</jats:p>

    　本研究の遂行にあたり、早稲田大学の学内倫理審査にて課題の承認を受けた（2024年6月）。科研費（研究活動スタート支援）の交付が内定した（2024年8月）後、以下の関係者に連絡を取り、研究協力を打診した：（１）筆者の知人（スケートボード熟練者）（２）国内の大手スケートボード企業（Penny Skateboards Japan）代表（３）都内のプロスケーター／ショップオーナー（４）スケートボード・クルーザー系YouTube配信者　このうち、（２）（３）（４）の三者から協力の承諾を受け、説明書や同意書をもとに、対面およびメールでの打ち合わせを行った。さらに、スケートボード愛好家や関係者との面識を広げ、研究の初期段階から関係構築に努めた。　（３）については、9月および10月上旬に、都内のナイトクラブ併設のミニランプで計２回のデータ撮影を実施した。（４）については、都内の河川敷と東京臨海広域防災公園にて、有志の協力を得て、計２回撮影を行った。（２）については、Penny Skateboards Japan主催の練習会での撮影を予定していたものの、先方のスケジュールの関係で実施には至らなかった。以上の調査を通じて、計６時間半のデータを収集した。　2024年10月〜11月にかけては、データの一部を文字起こしし、11月末に所属する会話分析研究会（CAN-Kanto）のデータセッションにてデータ提供を行った。このデータセッションで得たフィードバックをもとに、2025年5月に韓国・釜山で開催される国際学会（CAN-Asia 2025）にアブストラクトを提出した。　今後の計画としては、5月の発表準備を中心に進めていきたい。スケートボードにおける準備段階の分析から、実際のスケーティングの分析へと移行するにあたり、（１）スケートボードの実際的活動の連鎖構造の記述、（２）参加者が用いる言語・身体実践の特定を主な目的とする。他の研究課題（和太鼓）や論文執筆とも並行し、「遊び」と「学び」の関係性についてさらに調査を進める予定である。
