Linguistic-Anthropological Comparative Study of the Arctic Peoples in North America

在对北美北极民族（爱斯基摩人、阿留申人、特林吉特人、阿萨巴斯坎人等）实地考察的基础上，跨学科合作（语言学和人类学）试图阐明(1)接触前的种族边界和接触问题，(2)反映在语言上的生存活动问题。关于这些问题的某些具体方面的新见解和信息已经部分发表（见附件）。与种族界线密切相关的北美土著语言的暂定分类载于参考书目（下文）。不过，目前正在准备发表更广泛的研究结果。除了在实地工作中获得的口头信息外，绝对有必要依靠书面文件（人种学，语言描述等），这导致了对本项目收集的材料编制了一个暂定的参考书目，这是公认的日本最大的美国本土人类学语言学收藏，尽管迄今为止还很微薄。

On the basis of field works in the Arctic peoples in North America (Eskimo, Aleut, Tlingit, Athabaskan, etc.), interdisciplinary cooperation (linguistics and anthropology) attempted to elucidate the problems of (1) precontact ethnic boundaries and contacts, and (2) subsistence activities reflected in language.New insights and information on some specific aspects of those problems have already been published in part (see attached). The tentative classification of North American native languages, which is closely related with ethnic boundaries, is presented in the bibliography (below). Preparation is being made for publishing more extensive results, however.The absolute necessity of relying upon the written documentation (ethnography, linguistic description, etc.) in addition to oral information obtained in the fieldwork led to compiling a tentative bibliography of the materials collected in this project, which is admittedly the biggest collection of America native anthropological linguistics in Japan albeit a very meager one as yet.
