项目摘要

A body of researchers including this group has been carrying out a dialectological investigation into the entire area of the Ryukyu archipelago for many years, and the study has come close to completion. In the first and second years of this project, we conducted an investigation into Kyushu dialects which are presumed to be most closely related historically to all the dialects of the Ryukyu archipelago, and in particular into the dialects of the southwestern parts of Kyushu including those of many isolated islands. Eighteen communities were investigated in this survey. The questionnaire was the same as the one employed in the investigation into the dialects of the Ryukyu archipelago. We are planning to undertake the same type of investigation extending it to all the localities of the Japanese archipelogo next year and in the years to follow.For the third year (i.e., the last year of this current project). we have examined how to cope effectively with the large quantity of data resulting from the above-mentioned research and investigation--how to databank in particular the phonetically transcribed dialectal data of each community investigated and how to make them into dialect maps. Recently the technology of language information processing has been highly developed and computers, their software and accessaries have come into wide use and have dropped to favorable prices. This is encouraging news for our project which could not have been envisaged several years ago. But, even so, we have left some important problems to solved in the future. This is because, unexpectedly, we were much behind in developing the ways of processing the enormous amount of dialect data. We had been restricted in accomplishing an effective outcome by the lack of means to transcribe various phonetic symbols, which were unavailable on conventional fonts and software. We are now concentrating our efforts on solving these problems.

包括这个小组在内的一批研究人员多年来一直在琉球群岛的整个地区进行方言调查，这项研究已接近完成。在这个项目的第一年和第二年，我们对九州方言进行了调查，这些方言被认为在历史上与琉球群岛的所有方言关系最密切，特别是九州西南部的方言，包括许多孤立岛屿的方言。本次调查共调查了18个社区。调查问卷与琉球群岛方言调查中使用的调查问卷相同。我们计划在明年和以后几年进行同样类型的调查，将其扩展到日本群岛的所有地方，第三年(即本项目的最后一年)。我们研究了如何有效地处理上述研究和调查产生的大量数据--如何建立数据库，特别是每个被调查社区的语音转录的方言数据，以及如何将它们制成方言地图。近年来，语言信息处理技术得到了高度发展，计算机及其软件和附件得到了广泛的应用，并降到了优惠的价格。这对我们的项目来说是令人鼓舞的消息，这在几年前是无法想象的。但是，即便如此，我们也留下了一些重要的问题有待于今后解决。这是因为，出乎意料的是，我们在开发处理海量方言数据的方法方面落后了很多。由于缺乏转录各种音标的手段，我们在实现有效结果方面受到了限制，这在传统字体和软件上是不可用的。我们现在正集中力量解决这些问题。
