I wrote papers on French phonology and French syntax. While I was in Belgium, I learned a lot about translation studies although the area was not so popular then. Since I came to Sendai, I have seen a lot of foreign students especially from East Asia pursue their studies of Japanese comparing the language with their mother tongues (Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and so on).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this background, I am now interested in various topics: Romance linguistics, humor and jokes, (im)politeness and facework, subtitling and dubbing, and syntactic constraints on code-switching. What I am proud of is that I have published papers with some of my ex-students in international journals. I hope my future students help me further broaden my views.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research Interests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romance Languages, East Asian Languages (Chinese, Korean, Japanese), Contrastive Linguistics, Pragmatics, Syntax, Phonology, Politeness, Translation Studies, Code-Switching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Academic Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1992 - MA (French Linguistics), Tokyo University of Foreign Studies<br>1991 - MA (translation), Universit\u00e9 de Mons-Hainaut (Belgium)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major Publications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meng, Hairong, Takeshi Nakamoto, and Zeng Zeng. 2023. \u201cA contrastive study of Japanese \u2018no\u2019 and Chinese \u2018de\u2019: A perspective from code-switching\u201d. <em>International East Asian Language Research<\/em> 4: 65-76 (In Japanese).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chen, Wei, Takeshi Nakamoto, and Juan Zhang. 2021. \u201cThe translation of extralinguistic cultural references in subtitling\u201d. <em>Target: International Journal of Translation Studies<\/em>.
