Survey Research on the State of Neo-dialect in Western Japan

本学年度，我们在北九州、福冈、熊本、鹿儿岛、宫崎等地进行了统计学声门图调查，旨在了解九州地区这五个地区中心正在发生的激烈语言变化的动态。在传统的声门图中，代际差异是由一个有代表性的被调查者的数据来说明的，但在统计学声门图中，每个年龄组都有多个被调查者提供的数据，使我们能够确定统计意义。特别是，该声门图不仅包含区域和年龄组差异的信息，还包含性别和职业等社会人口特征的信息。这使我们能够进行多重相关系数分析。在本项目报告中，发表了“九州新方言的动态”，以声门图的形式提供数据，并对每个主题的结果进行分析和解释。

This academic years, data was collected from statistical glottogram surveys conducted in Kita-kyushu, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, and Miyazaki, in an effort to shed light on the dynamics of the vigorous language change underway in these five regional centers of the Kyushu region.In traditional glottograms, generational differences were illustrated by the data of a single representative informant, but in statistical glottograms, each age group contains the data from multiple informants enabling us to determine statistical significances. In particular, this glottogram contains information not only on regional and age group differences, but includes information on socio-demographic traits such as sex and occupation. This enabled us to perform multiple correlation coefficient analysis. For this project report, "The dynamics of Neo-dialect in Kyushu" was published with the data presented in glottogram form, and analysis and interpretation of the results for each topic.
