If you study phonotactics and segmenat reduction in fluent casual
speech in Japanese please send me the information. I need any
kind of information about discourse phonology and phonetics of
Japanese for my doctoral thesis.
 
Thank you for your help.

Subject:  Question: will and shall in journal writing
 
I am doing a study on the use of modals by journal writers. Among
other things, I found that many of the writers in my data employ
 the modals will and shall in volitional sense interchangeably .
i.e. One of the writers, for example, at the beginning of his article
 uses volitional will  as in :
 
THE ORGANISATION OF THIS PAPER IS AS FOLLOWS.
FIRST, WE WILL PROVIDE A GENERAL BACKGROUND TO
 COMMUNICATIVE APPROACHES ....
 
and then, at a later stage of his article, he changes to
volitional shall, as in:
 
I SHALL SUGGEST IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE MODEL THAT ...
 
 
What I would like to know is whether you yourself adopt this
approach in your journal or dissertation writing If you do, could
you please offer some explanation.
 
 
Thank you.
