Language and Information Sciences

Research Interests

My research topic is "evaluation". The word "evaluation" here, however, does not mean the notion such as "the results of tests" or "students' marks given by teachers in classrooms". I am making researches on the questions listed below:

1. How are the linguistic performances evaluated by individuals? How different are the evaluation processes depending on the individuals? Can we find any universality in the variety of the evaluation processes?
2. What is the linguistic ability? How differently the ability is interpreted and evaluated by individuals?
3. How can "the values in evaluation" be described? How can the values in evaluation be changed in the process of individual's experience?
