    Expertise

    Kazumi Takahashi’s research explores linguistic pragmatics, cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis and second-language teaching. She is currently examining the expressive and interpersonal functions of the stylistically deviant Japanese construction she calls the ‘attributive noun-na.’ She is also collecting and analyzing interlanguage data in order to offer in-depth explications of selected grammatical errors in Japanese frequently made by intermediate to advanced-level learners of the language.
