In order to understand the present situation of modern Japanese interjections and their linguistic status, we have conducted a series of investigations from the following three points of view:(1) To clarify the national distribution through data collectionWe have built a sound database of Japanese interjections using collected data of natural discourses from 8 dialectical zones. We have also clarified the distribution of Japanese interjections through a questionnaire survey conducted in 2000 areas.(2) To conduct grammatical and conversational analysesThrough grammatical analyses, we have made descriptions of Japanese interjections, and at the same time, we have also clarified their functions in conversation.(3) To clarify the linguistic statusWe have clarified essential characteristics and the linguistic status of Japanese interjections.
