A Socio-linguistics Study of the Grammar of Japanese Dialects based on 'Database of Discourse in Japanese Dialects'

1.本研究以“日本方言话语数据库”中收录的近畿地区（京都、滋贺、奈良、和歌山、大坂、兵库）的自然语音文本为研究对象，分析其在文本中的使用情况，特别是“方言代码”与文本类型的相关性.我们收集了关西地区大学生的语音数据，并描述了“新方言”（SANADA）的现状，即，在那个地区年轻一代所说的新方言形式。此外，我们还特别注意到一些“新方言”形式（或言语风格），并将它们与老一代人所说的传统形式（或言语风格）进行了对比。在京都和大坂地区，我们分析了年轻一代和老年一代的言语代码的差异，并与以前收集的其他数据进行了比较. SANADA收集并分析了未被纳入《日本方言话语数据库》的对马岛县伊津原町津津方言的语音数据。该数据发表在《对马诸岛伊津原町津津方言的自然话语数据》中。“（2000年9月30日）。该研究项目的部分结果已在国家语言研究所的通讯《国际语言之道》中报道。

1. We found out some characteristic dialectal forms in the texts of natural speech in Kinki area (Kyoto, Shiga, Nara, Wakayama, Osaka, and Hyogo), which are contained in the 'Database of Discourse in Japanese Dialects', and analyzed their use in the texts, with special attention to the correlation between the 'dialect code' and the kind of texts.2. We collected speech data of the college students around Kansai area and described the present state of 'neo-dialect' (by SANADA), i.e., new dialectal forms spoken by young generation, in that area. In addition, we paid a special attention to some 'neo-dialectal' forms (or speech styles) and contrasted them with traditional forms (or speech styles) spoken by old generation. In Kyoto and Osaka area, we analyzed the differences in speech code between the young and old generations, comparing to other data which has been collected before.3. SANADA collected and analyzed the speech data of Tsutsu dialect, Izuhara town, the islands of Tsushima, which has not been included in the 'Database of Discourse in Japanese Dialects'. The data was published as "Natural Discourse Data of the Tsutsu Dialect, Izuhara Town, the Islands of Tsushima." (September 30, 2000).4. The results of this research project has been partly reported in "Kokugoken no Mado", the newsletter of the National Language Research Institute.
