SAKAHARA Shigeru / 坂原 茂 (Professor)

Research Interests

French linguistics and cognitive linguistics. My interests lie in copular sentences, tautology, change predicates, peripheral aspect representation by verbs of motion, and so forth. Specifically, I aim to construct a comprehensive theory of copular sentences, classifying their various uses.
