Research in Regional Language Formation on the Influence of Metropolitan Area Language

为了发现都市圈语言对周边地区的语言有什么样的影响，在东京、名古屋和大阪周边地区进行了语言调查。对群马县新方言的调查显示出与东京年轻人相似的趋势。即使在名古屋的郊区，岐阜大垣市，名古屋的影响也很大，甚至可以看到这种影响甚至蔓延到富山和北陆地区。从调查结果也可以清楚地看出，大阪对四国，特别是德岛有很大的影响。

In order to find what kind of influence metropolitan area language has on the language of neighboring regions, language surveys were carried out all throughout the regions surrounding Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. An investigation of new dialect in Gunma showed a trend similar to that of young people in Tokyo. Even in the outskirts of Nagoya in the city of Ogaki, Gifu, the influence of Nagoya was great, and it could be seen that this influence had even spread as far as Toyama and the Hokuriku region. From the results of the survey it was also clear that Osaka had great influence on Shikoku, especially Tokushima.
