主要原著論文
1. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., "Tungusic Morphology in Old Japanese through the Lens of Borrowing Hierarchies", Studies in Languages and Cultures, 52, 17-35, 2024.03.
2. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., "Waves of Contact between Tungusic and Japanese: Possible Evidence in the Reflexes of Tungusic Medial Voiced Consonants and Medial Consonant Clusters in Old Japanese (Part 1)", Korean and Japanese: Studies on Language and Culture, 5, 31-68, 2018.10, This paper analyzes two different types of reflexes of proto-Tungusic medial voiced consonants and medial consonant clusters in Old Japanese, and postulates that the existence of these two different types of reflexes may be attributed to two different waves of contact from Tungusic into Japanese..
3. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., "The Reflexes of Tungusic Medial Consonant Clusters in Old Japanese", Korean and Japanese: Studies on Language and Culture, 4, 23-45, 2016.09, The objective of this paper is to study and analyze the reflexes of Tungusic medial consonant clusters consisting of two consonants in Old Japanese borrowings (or loanwords) of Tungusic origin. The paper aims to clarify how medial consonant clusters of Tungusic donor words have changed in the corresponding borrowing (or loanwords) from Tungusic into Japanese, in order to fit into the phonotactic constraints of the proto-Japanese language, which does / did not possess consonant clusters (with the exception of nasal consonant clusters; i.e., *-np-, *-nt-, *-nk-, and *-ns-)..
4. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., "Tungusic Elements in Japanese Adjectives", Korean and Japanese: Studies on Language and Culture, 2, 99-120, 2009.09, The first aim of the paper is searching for Tungusic elements in Japanese adjectives. This includes a quest for reflexes of Tungusic adjectives or verbs with adjectival meaning (such as, for example, “to be wet”) in Japanese roots, even if those Japanese roots are not adjectival roots. The second aim of the paper is searching for building blocks (i.e., suffixes) in Japanese adjectives that derive from Tungusic..
5. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., 「日本語はツングース語系の言語であるか?」[Is Japanese a Tungusic Language?], 『東アジア日本語教育・日本文化研究』, 12, 171-185, 2009.03, 形態的・意味的に対応する日本語とツングース諸語の基礎語彙が数少ない(20%以下)。なお、松本克己氏が提唱する類型地理論における7項目の中から5項目の言語特徴について、太平洋沿岸言語圏に属する日本語とユーラシア内陸言語圏に属するツングース祖語は完全に異なる。従って、伝統的な比較言語学のアプローチから見ても、類型地理論のアプローチから見ても、日本語とツングース語は同系言語ではない、と言わざるを得ない。.
6. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., 「古代日本語におけるツングース祖語の *(-)e- の反射形」[The Reflexes of Proto-Tungusic *(-)e- in Old Japanese], 『東アジア日本語教育・日本文化研究』, 11, 161-176, 2008.03, 本論文は、ツングース語の借用元(donor words)の第一音節の *(-)e- がそれらに対応するツングース語から古代日本語への借用語(loanwords)において *-a- になるか、それとも *-o- になるかを解明するものである。ツングース祖語の *(-)e- がどう変化するかがその *(-)e- が単語の語頭位置にあるかによって、または先行する子音によって、ある程度まで予測することができる。.

PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., "East Asian Loanword Triplets and Quadruplets Containing Japanese and Tungusic Etyma", Korean and Japanese: Studies on Language and Culture, 5, pp. 141-142, 2018.10, In this presentation, several “gaps” in two- or three-way lexical comparisons of Koguryŏ language with surrounding languages (mainly involving Japanese and Korean) found in previous research have been filled by adding Tungusic members. As result, the total number of three-way etymologies (containing Japanese, Koguryŏ, and Tungusic counterparts) and four-way etymologies (containing Japanese, Koguryŏ, Korean, and Tungusic counterparts) has increased..

6. PAUWELS, RUBEN G.A., "Once Again on the Reflexes of Tungusic Medial Consonant Clusters in Old Japanese", Language Variation and Change Network, 2015.05, [URL], Early contact between Tungusic and Japanese resulted in loanwords from Tungusic. The focus of the presentation was on the reflexes of Tungusic medial clusters consisting of two consonants in Old Japanese in those loanwords based principally on an ongoing analysis of entries in Vera Ivanovna Cincius’s Sravnitel’nyj slovar’ tunguso-man’čžurskix jazykov: Materialy k ėtimologičeskomu slovarju [Comparative Dictionary of the Manchu-Tungusic languages: Materials for an Etymological Dictionary]. An attempt has been made to formulate rules which explain and predict how original proto-Tungusic medial consonant clusters evolved in proto-Japanese. These rules make it possible to answer two questions: (1) which one of the two consonants in the cluster was preserved in Japanese, and (2) whether the preserved consonant underwent prenasalization or not..
