Gathering and Making a Data Base of Research Materials on Modern Okinawan Literature

在为期两年的研究期间，我们利用为这一项目购买的几台计算机，收集并制作了日本和冲绳诗歌(Tanka，Ryuka)的数据库，该数据库出现在两份报纸上：《冲绳每日新闻》和《琉球新闻》，分别出现在明治和大正时期(1898-1918)。(1)文本(2)作者(3)流派(4)标题(5)主题(自发和预先给出)(6)编者(7)评估(8)日期(9)报纸(10)出版日期(11)报纸(12)出版编号(12)栏目(13)副刊标题。《冲绳每日新闻》和《琉球新闻》发表的诗歌数量如下：Tanka(冲绳每日新闻-7016，琉球新闻-17921，总计24937)，Ryuka(冲绳每日新闻-9781，琉球新闻-5352)。15133)，宏伟的TottaL40070。就柳卡而言，明治时期(1868年之前)之前创作的传统诗歌数量为5000首，是上述数量的三倍。对这些数字的分析将是我们下一个项目的主题。有了这些数据输入我们的计算机，现在就有可能进行坦卡(日本传统的31音节5-5-7-7诗)和琉球(冲绳传统的8-8-8-6模式的冲绳30音节诗)的比较研究，也可以比较研究明治之前的《古典琉球》和明治时期和之后的《明治琉球》。通过编撰17.5万字的《明治琉球》索引，可以对《古典琉卡》和《明治琉卡》的不同表达方式进行细致的研究。

During the two years of research period, we gathered and made a data base of Japanese and Okinawan poetry (Tanka, Ryuka), which appeared in the two newspapers ; Okinawa Mainichi Shimbun and the Ryukyu Shimpo, during the Meiji and Taisyo Period (1898-1918), utilizing several computers purchased for this project.In the process of databanking, We tried to set up the data so that the information could be retrieved from various aspects ; (1) texts (2) authors (3) schools (4) titles (5) themes (both spontaneous and given in advance) (6) compilers (7) evaluation (8) dates (9) newspapers (10) dates of appearance (11) issue numbers of the newspaper (12) titles of the columns (13) supplements.The number of poems (both tanka and ryuka) appeared in Okinawa Mainichi Shimbun and the Ryukyu Shimpo is as follows ; Tanka (Okinawa MainiChi Shimbun-7016, the Ryukyu Shimpo-17921, total-24937), Ryuka (OkinaWa Mainichi Shimbun-9781, the Ryukyu Shimpo-5352, total. 15133), the grand totaL40070. In case of ryuka, the number of traditional poems composed prior to the Meiji period (before 1868) Was 5000, Which triples the number indicated above. Analysis of these figures will be the subject of our next project.With these data put in our Computers, it iS now possible to work on a comparative study of tanka (traditional japanese 31-syllable poem in the pattern of 5-7-5-7-7) and ryuka (traditional Okinawan 30-syllable poem in the pattern of 8-8-8-6 written in Okinawan language), and also comparative study of "classical ryuka" composed prior to the Meiji period and "Meiji ryuka" composed during and after the Meiji period. By compiling an index consisting of 175,000 Words on "Meiji ryuka", it is now possible to conduct a close research on different expressions in "classical ryuka" and "meiji ryuka".
