Abstract
This article sheds light on principles of human-human communication such as everyday conversation. Traditional views of communication generally have the following four principles in common: communication is (i) based on information transfer, (ii) the participants' intentions, (iii) co-presence among participants, and (iv) actions. These principles, however, actually often obfuscate various phenomena and distort their descriptions and explanations. This articles shows this concretely through an observation of modern spoken Japanese. Then, a more useful view of communication is elicited that captures communication as a part of participants' lives based on a consciousness that states, "My co-presence with others is mutually acknowledged by others."

Acquisition of Tense and Aspect in Cross-Referential Learners' Corpora of English, Chinese and Japanese
2020
This paper focuses on L1 transfer in the acquisition of tense and aspect by Japanese and Chinese learners in the International Corpus of Japanese as a Second Language (I-JAS) and TUFS International Learners' Corpora of English, Chinese and Japanese. First, we introduce the benefit of using Cross-Referential Learners' Corpora of English, Chinese and Japanese to reveal various types of L1 transfer. For example, L1 Japanese and L1 English learners of Chinese show a difference in the acquisition of the Chinese determiner "One + Classifier + Noun Phrase" which is obligatory in a telic sentence. L1 English learners acquire "One + Classifier + Noun Phrase" correctly while L1 Japanese advanced learners show difficulty in acquiring the determiner usage of "One + Classifier + Noun Phrase". We suggest that the linguistic cognitive typology in L1 affects the second language acquisition of the aspectual system in the target language; both English and Chinese are "Bounded"-oriented languages while Japanese is an "Unbounded" type language in terms of aspectual boundedness. Second, we compare Chinese/English L1 learners' story-telling in I-JAS with the same story-telling by
Estimating Communication Skills based on Multimodal Information in Group Discussions
Transactions of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence
This paper focuses on developing a model for estimating communication skills of each participant in a group from multimodal (verbal and nonverbal) features. For this purpose, we use a multimodal group meeting corpus including audio signal data and head motion sensor data of participants observed in 30 group meeting sessions. The corpus also includes the communication skills of each participant, which is assessed by 21 external observers with the experience of human resource management. We extracted various kinds of features such as spoken utterances, acoustic features, speaking turns and the amount of head motion to estimate the communication skills. First, we created a regression model to infer the level of communication skills from these features using support vector regression to evaluate the estimation accuracy of the communication skills. Second, we created a binary (high or low) classification model using support vector machine. Experiment results show that the multimodal model achieved 0.62 in R 2 as the regression accuracy of overall skill, and also achieved 0.93 as the classification accuracy. This paper reports effective features in predicting the level of communication skill and shows that these features are also useful in characterizing the difference between the participants who have high level communication skills and those who do not.

The Effect of Differentiation in the Linguistics Movement Instructions on Performance
Transactions of Japan Society of Kansei Engineering, 2017
The purpose of this research is to estimate quantitatively by using jump motion as a base material as the basic research about the effect the difference in the linguistics movement instructions on a performance. The effect of five instructions ("A: big jump.", "B: jump after deeply bended knees.", "C: highly jump.", "D: maximum jump.", "E: jump to touch the ceiling.") on jump height was analyzed using KINECT. Result, the height of jump was E > D > C> B > A. In order to create high jump, it was found the instruction such as E, with the target point in the external of body was useful. In addition, as attention focused on the part instructed as the effect of the instruction focusing on the explicit of body part like B, it was suggested the attentiveness to other parts and the timing of the operation may be delayed. Instructions like D didn't lead to a high jump because the image of movement was ambiguous.
The Relationship between Skill and Language : A theoretical clarification for interview studies
2007
Despite the significance of interview studies, methodological awareness is not necessarily shared in the field of English Language Education in Japan. Previous studies have only provided general methodology of interview studies, failing to pay special attention to the language in the interview and the skill which the language is supposed to explicate. The language of the skills (maxim) does not present a full account of the skill, nor is the skill fully translated into words. In this paper, we introduce the epistemology by a philosophical scientist (M. Polanyi) and two theoretical practitioners (H. Mitsuoka and Y. Kona) to explain a partial, yet important, contribution of language for skill acquisition. Following this theoretical argument, three practical suggestions are offered for interview studies

An Ontological Consideration on Essential Properties of the Notion of “Service”
Transactions of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence, 2012
Although many definitions of services have been proposed in Service Science and Service Engineering, essentialities of the notion of "service" remain unclear. Especially, some existing definitions of service are similar to the definition of function of artifacts, and there is no clear distinction between them. Thus, aiming at an ontological conceptualization of service, we have made an ontological investigation into the distinction between service and artifact function. In this article, we reveal essential properties of service and propose a model and a definition of service. Firstly, we extract 42 properties of service from 15 articles in different disciplines in order to find out fundamental concepts of service. Then we show that the notion of function shares the extracted foundational concepts of service and thus point out the necessity of the distinction between them. Secondly, we propose a multi-layered model of services, which is based on the conceptualization of goal-oriented effects at the base-level and at the upper-level. Thirdly, based on the model, we clarify essential properties of service which can distinguish artifact function. The conceptualization of upper-effects (upper-service) enables us to show that upper-services include various effects such as sales and manufacturing. Lastly, we propose a definition of the notion of service based on the essential properties and show its validity using some examples.
