Research into Changes in Spoken Osaka Dialect Since the Late 19th Century

留声机录音仍然存在，为我们提供了世纪末和世纪初的罕见的口语例子。本研究的目的是收集保存在各地的大坂方言口语资料，并对其进行分析，以弄清当时大坂方言口语的状况。此外，通过将这些数据与在关西地区进行的田野调查中收集到的当前语音动态数据进行比较，试图全面了解大坂方言口语变化的本质。本学年，我们制作了大坂“落语”故事的78转录音的录音集，以及我们的声门图调查田野调查报告。

There are still existent phonograph recordings which provide us with rare examples of spoken speech from the late 19th century and early 20th century. The aim of this research project was to gather spoken Osaka dialect materials stored in various places and analyze them to clarify the state of spoken Osaka dialect in that period. Furthermore, by comparing this data with data on the dynamics of current speech in the Kansai region which is being collected in field studies, we are attempting to obtain an overall understanding of the nature of changes in spoken Osaka dialect.This academic year, we were able to produce a collection of transcriptions of 78 rpm recordings of Osaka "rakugo" stories, as well as a report on our glottogram survey fieldwork.
