Study on the old : strata of the accents around Tokyo

本研究旨在厘清东京口音的古老阶层，探讨其形成的过程。为此，我们选择了东京周边的三个地区：东京的秋之野市、埼玉县的秩父市和Gumma县的藤冈市，调查了数千个老年人的口音。我们从柴田Takeshi监督下编撰的《东京方言口音资料》中选择了在东京口音模式中观察到代际差异的日常用语，以及东京周围应该与东京市中心口音不同的词语，由濑义夫和佐藤良一编辑。结果，我们发现在这些地区有很多有旧口音模式的单词消失了，在东京市中心消失了。我们还发现了许多具有这些地区特有的口音模式的单词，这些单词在东京方言中是没有的。我们把结果和考虑作为一份调查报告。

Our study aims at making clear the old strata of Tokyo accents and at inquiring into the process of their formation.For this purpose, we examined the accents of several thousands words of the aged, choosing three areas around Tokyo : Akiruno City in Tokyo, Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture and Fujioka City in Gumma Prefecture. We chose the everyday words spoken frequently in which we observed the generational difference in accent patterns in Tokyo and the words which are supposed to have around Tokyo the accents different from those in the center of Tokyo, out of "Materials of the accents of the Tokyo dialect" compiled under the supervision of Takeshi Shibata, edited by Yoshio Mase and Ryoichi Sato.In result, we found in these areas a lot of words which have the old accent patterns disappeared and disappearing in the center of Tokyo.We also found a good many words that have the accent patterns peculier to these areas and that we do not observe in the Tokyo dialect.We put to presse the result and the consideration as an investigation report.
