Naonori Nagaya

Welcome to my website!

I am an associate professor and the chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Tokyo (Tokyo, Japan), where I have been on faculty since 2019.

I also teach linguistics at the Tokyo Linguistics Institute and Tagalog at the TUFS Open Academy and the Open University of Japan.

I completed my undergraduate and master's studies at the University of Tokyo, receiving a BA and MLitt in linguistics. I then began my graduate work in the Department of Linguistics at Rice University, where I earned an MA in 2010 and a PhD in 2011. Before joining UTokyo as a faculty member, I taught Filipino/Tagalog and linguistics at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies from 2013–2019.

My name is written in kanji as 長屋 尚典.

Research

I am a linguist specializing in Austronesian languages of the Philippines and Indonesia. My research interests lie in morphosyntax, linguistic typology, and language change.

I have been working on a variety of morphosyntactic and discourse phenomena in Tagalog (Philippines) and Lamaholot (eastern Indonesia), including voice phenomena, information structure, relativization/nominalization, spatial expressions, and discourse particles.

A list of selected publications is available in the Publications page. To download my papers, please visit my ResearchGate/Academia.edu page. Click here for my researchmap page, where you can find a more accurate CV and a complete list of publications and presentations in Japanese.
