The research potential of the Corpus of Everyday Japanese Conversation

Abstract

Since the release of the Corpus of Everyday Japanese Conversation (CEJC) in March 2022, it has been used in various research fields, including linguistic research, cognitive science, language processing and language education. The CEJC is designed to contain various kinds of everyday conversations in a balanced manner to capture their diversity. This paper provides an overview of the CEJC and other corpora, and subsequently, presents case studies using the CEJC to discuss its potential.
