Features

My current research topic is "universal design in language use," with special reference to order in language and thought. In particular, I am investigating (1) similarities and differences in neural processing of languages with different basic word orders, (2) to what extent the order in non-verbal thought is affected by the order in language, and vice versa, and (3) what is the optimal order in human language and human thought, if any.

Targeted Application(s)/Industry

Although I am conducting basic research, I believe it helps develop effective language teaching/learning methods, rehabilitation programs for aphasia, and so on.
