Kaoru Horie
Nagoya University, Japan |
Horie combined his interest in cross-linguistic variation in the world’s languages with cognitive-functional linguistic approaches to language structure and use. His research interest centers around: (i) the cross-linguistically variable manifestation of ‘squishy’ phenomena observed with a variety of complex clause constructions, e.g. complement clauses, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, and (ii) grammaticalization and language contact phenomena, and (iii) cross-linguistically differing roles of pragmatic enrichment and inference that compensate code underspecification. The languages he has worked on include (North-) East, South-East, and South Asian, and European languages, with a specific focus on Japanese-Korean morpho-syntactic and semantic/pragmatic contrasts.
Recently, Horie has been working on a framework of Cognitive Typology, a programmatic analytical framework that aims at correlating cross-linguistic structural variation with socio-culturally motivated language use by utilizing insights of Radical Construction Grammar (W. Croft) and the typology of “Do”-language vs. “Become”-language (Y. Ikegami).
His edited/authored works include Complementation: Cognitive and Functional Perspectives (Benjamins, 2000), Cognitive-Functional Linguistics in an East Asian Context (Kurosio publishers, 2001), Recent Trends in Contrastive Linguistics (Hituzi publishers, 2004, in Japanese), The Science of Language, Brain, and Cognition, and Foreign Language Learning (Hituzi publishers, 2009, in Japanese), and A Typology of Languages: Cognitive Typology
(Kenkyusha publishers, 2009, in Japanese, with Prashant Pardeshi).
Horie is a founding board member of the Japanese Cognitive Linguistic Association, an ICLA associate organization that hosts 700 members. He also serves as a managing editor of Studies in Language Sciences (SLS), the journal of the Japanese Society for Language Sciences, and as a liaison officer (Japan-Pacific) of the International Circle of Korean Linguistics. He has published many articles dealing with a broad range of issues in cognitive linguistics and linguistic typology.
