Diachronic and Comparative Studies on the Universal and Peculiar Aspects of Word Formation in Germanic Languages

藤原三年来的研究成果主要集中在三篇论文中：1)《前缀重音历时分析》，2)《古英语构词与格律》，3)《古英语-man复合词的形成》。在第一篇文章中，作者对古英语时期带有否定意义的前缀un的重音减弱进行了详细的解释。在第二篇文章中，作者分析了古英语的复合词和带前缀的词，表明至少在《创世纪》第二章中，这些词的使用是为了提供格律的需要。在第三篇论文中，他比较了派生后缀的代理名词和以man为词头的复合词，明确了古英语-man复合词的语言特性。伊石冢的贡献可以概括为两篇文章：1)《尼伯龙根尼的国名》，2)《中古高地德语的河流名称》。在第一篇文章中，Ishizuka对尼伯龙根尼的各种手稿中有无植物的国家名称进行了分类，并提供了几个有趣的事实。在第二篇论文中，他研究了各种古德语文本中专有名词的名称，揭示了它们的起源和形态的许多有趣特征。Kuroda的研究项目的目的是弄清楚前缀在古高地德语和现代德语动词中的作用。因此，他在过去三年中发表的出版物都与这个主题有关。它们是“Zum Plusquamperfekt bei Otfrid von Weissenburg”和“Zum Verbalprafix be-im Althochdeutschen und Gegenwartsdeutschen”。在第一篇文章中，Kuroda明确了古高地德语前缀gi在Otfrid von Weissenburg作品中的作用。在第二篇论文中，他描述了前缀br在古高地德语和现代德语两个阶段的功能变化过程。

Most of the results of Fujiwara's research during the three years involved are stated in three papers : 1)Diachronic Analysis of Stress on Prefixes, 2)Word Formation and Metrics in Old English, 3)On the Formation of -man Compounds in Old English. In the first paper, the author made a detailed explanation for the weakening of stress on the prefix un-with negative meaning from the Old English period. In the second paper, the author analysed Old English compound words and words with prefixes and showed that, at least as far as Genesis Bis concerned, these words are used so as to supply metrical necessities. And in the third paper, he compared agent nouns with derivational suffixes and compound words with man as their head, and made explicit linguistic properties of Old English -man compounds.Ishizuka's contributions are summarized in two articles : 1)On the Name of Nations in Nibelungenlied, 2)On the Names of Rivers in Middle High German. In the first article, Ishizuka classified the names of nations with and without lant in various manuscripts of Nibelungenlied and provided several interesting facts. In the second paper, he investigated the names of proper nouns in various old German texts and disclosed many interesting characteristics concerning their origin and morphology.Kuroda's aim of the research project is to make clear the function of prefixes in the verbs of Old High German and Present-day German. Hence, his publications issued during the past three years are related to this topic. They are 'Zum Plusquamperfekt bei Otfrid von Weissenburg' and 'Zum Verbalprafix be-im Althochdeutschen und Gegenwartsdeutschen'. In the first article, Kuroda clarified the function of the Old High German prefix gi-in the works of Otfrid von Weissenburg. And in the second paper, he described the process of functional change of the prefix br in the two stages, Old High German and Modern German.
