Description

The purpose of this paper is to investigate trends in Russian learners' (RS) recognition of the emotions "surprise" and "reluctance" from Japanese echo questions. The results show substantial individual differences in RS's percentage of correct answers, and no differences in the percentage of correct answers according to length of study. RS have difficulty in recognizing emotions in heibangata (flat, accentless) words, and those RS with a low score are seen to have a difficulty in recognizing emotions in words with a specific accent. This suggests that the ability to recognize emotions may improve by proper training.
