Structural Study of Japanese Linguisic Traditions

我们的研究目的是重新考虑日本的语言传统，在方言学和文化人类学的合作下，通过将所谓的结构语言学和结构人类学发展起来的方法和概念应用于冈山县胜田町Kajinami区的方言和迷信。Nikaido, h .通过对比老一代和年轻一代的方言，对比Kajinami和冈山县其他地方的方言，分析了在Kajinami地区收集的数据，发现了旧方言有时被新方言取代的情况，而不是标准词。人们认为，这种情况表明旧方言向具有相同结构的新方言的转变。Itabashi, s .收集了梶神县和冈山县的各种民间信仰，发现某种迷信的某些组成词被转换成其他词，但其结构被保留下来。我们认为，方言、迷信等语言传统会随着时代和地域的变化而变化，但其结构不会改变。

The aim of our study is to reconsider Japanese linguistic traditions, in collaboration of dialectology and culturarl anthropology, by applying the methods and concepts which developped is so-called structural linguistics and structural anthropology to the dialect and superstitions in Kajinami District of Katsuta-cho, Okayama Prefecture.Nikaido, H.analyzed the data collected in Kajinami District by comparison between dialects of old and young generations and between dialects in Kajinami and in other places of Okayama Prefecture, and found out the cases that old dialects sometimes replaced with new dialects, not Standard words. It is thought that such cases indicate the transformation of old dialects to new dialects with a same structure.Itabashi, S.collected various folk biliefs of Kajinami and Okayama Prefecture and found the fact that some component words of a certain superstition are commuted to other words, but its strucure is persisted.We think that such linguistic traditions as dialects and superstitons change from generation to generation and from place to place, but the structre does not change.
