一种方言中的变异通常被称为“自由变异”。但这个术语有相当大的误导性，因为它往往意味着单个说话者允许任何变体。最近的调查显示，所谓的“自由变体”实际上可能并不是针对单个说话者的自由变体。在某些情况下，个别说话者始终遵循一种变体，尽管作为一个整体，方言允许不止一种变体。这类变异不能从地理或社会学的角度加以解释，我们从今以后将其称为“个体变异”。在这一意义上，个体语言变异的存在并不是一个新发现，但直到最近才进行了系统的研究。有关英语习语变体的一些研究结果，见Carden(1970)，Elliott等人。(1969)和Greenbaum and Quirk(1970)。然而，不幸的是，在我看来，似乎还没有关于日语中类似现象的研究成果。本文将介绍日语东京方言的一个句法领域，它明显地表现出一种惯用语变异，并将讨论一般的语言学理论如何能够解释这种现象。
Variations within a single dialect have often been referred to as 'free variations'. But this terminology is quite a bit misleading, since it tends to imply that an individual speaker allows any of the variants. Recent investigations have revealed that the so-called 'free variations' may not in fact be free variations for an individual speaker. There are cases where an individual speaker consistently follows one variation although the dialect as a whole allows more than one variant. Variations of this sort, which cannot be accounted for in terms of geographic nor of sociological divisions, we shall henceforth refer to as 'idiolectal variations'. The existence of idiolectal variations in this sense is not a new discovery, but systematic investigations have not been made until quite recently. For some of the results of work on idiolectat variations in English, see Carden (1970), Elliott et al. (1969), and Greenbaum and Quirk (1970). Unfortunately, however, it seems to me that there has appeared no such work on like phenomena in Japanese. The present paper will present one area of syntax of the Tokyo dialect of Japanese which clearly exhibits an idiolectal variation and will discuss how general linguistic theory could shed light on such phenomena.
