Preliminary Work for Lexicographical Study of Ainu Epic

编撰《阿伊奴史诗词典》是这项前期工作的目的。第一年(1992年)，金田内圭介和久保良彦主编的《阿伊奴史诗》的所有经典文本都被建立了数据库(12万行)。第二年(1993年)，在Unix上编制了一个程序，从输入的文本中提取每个单词及其上下文，并自动按字母顺序排列。我们与这个节目的每一部史诗都有一个和谐的共鸣。今年，我们选择了其中的一首作为样本，开始编纂最著名的史诗《itadori-maru》的词典，这是一部有7000行台词的史诗。调查员分析了每一个词，得到了它的成分。这些宪法也应列入词典。第三年(1994年)，调查员的工作集中在两个主题上。首先是分析每个词的所有语境，并根据语境重新排列这些词的出现情况。这项工作仍在进行中。第二个版本是对程序的修订，因为旧版本运行得太慢，无法分析12万行史诗(约4000天)。这个问题在明年(大约10个小时)就解决了。

It is the purpose of this prelinary project to compile Ainu Epic Lexicon in the future.In the first year (1992) all the classical texts of the Ainu epic edited by Kyoosuke KINDAICHI and Itsuhiko KUBODERA were databanked (120,000 lines).In the second year (1993) a program on UNIX was made, which picked up every word with its context from the inputted texts and arranged them in alphabetical order automatically. We got a concordance for every piece of epics with this program. In this year we chose one of these concordances as a sample and began to compile a lexicon to "Itadori-Maru", the most famous epic with 7000 lines.Ainu is a incorporative and polysynthetic language. The investigator analyzed every word and got its constituents. These constituets should also be listed in the lexicon.In the third year (1994) the investigator's work was concentrated on two subjects. The first was analyzeing all the contexts of every word and rearrangeing occurences of the words contextually. This work is still under way. The second was revisal of the program, for the old version ran too slow to analyze the 120,000 lines of epics (about 4,000 days). This problem was solved next year (about 10 hours).
