The established theory argues that pre-war Japan’s perspective of Southeast Asia was mainly concerned with its natural resources. However, this book on ethnologist Matsumoto Nobuhiro shows that scientific study of Southeast Asian culture had already existed in this time. It traces the formation and development of Matsumoto’s ideas on Southeast Asia based on his writings in the period 1919-1945. Matsumoto started studying this region from evolutionist ethnology and decided to focus on it under the influence of diffusionist ethnology, because he believed in significance of Japan's relation with Southeast Asia in ancient times. In the 1930s and 1940s, he established Southeast Asian studies and Vietnamese studies by bringing research materials from French Indochina to Japan, introducing them to the Japanese people and founding research institutes at Keio University. He acquired various theories from Western and Japanese scholars and somewhat adjusted his arguments to the political climate of the era. This book examines evolutionist, sociologist and diffusionist ethnology, Southern Culture Theory, Southward Theory, Climate Theory, Orientalism, Southern Advance Theory, and Pan-Asianism in his works. It reveals that Matsumoto’s perspective of Southeast Asian culture was a patchwork of arguments from many theories. In this pattern, he offered multiple views on this culture, which instigated further development of Southeast Asian studies in diverse fields, but his conclusion on Japan-Southeast Asian relations remained ambiguous.

An Automodular View of English Grammar is a far-reaching extension of Jerry Sadock’s (2012) Modular Architecture of Grammar, Cambridge University Press, and presents a multi-modular view of English syntax. It covers major syntactic phenomena of English such as passivization, raising, control, and unbounded dependencies. The automodular grammar consists of the lexicon and the five autonomous modules, which are each formalized as phrase structure grammar with their own primitives and are connected by the lexicon and the default correspondences between them.

『平和と国際情報通信ー「隔ての壁」の克服』（オリジナル日本語版）

The beginning of the transition from Romanticism to Victorianism in English literature is examined through works created by three writers — Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley and Robert Browning — as the literary and political backdrop shifted in post-Napoleonic Europe. Despite the sharp line often drawn by scholars between the Romantic and Victorian periods, the author emphasizes the Shelleys' influence on the young Browning, drawing parallels between Percy's high Romanticism and Browning's revisionary poetics. The three writers' attitudes to gender are also discussed, along with their use of historicism and historiography, to shed further light on Romantic and Victorian sensibilities.
