Research on Yakut Epics Olongxo

本课题是关于雅库特（或萨克萨）史诗《奥隆索》的研究。在2000- 2001财政年度的这一时期，我们对今天在俄罗斯帝国、苏联和俄罗斯联邦收集的olongxo文本进行了深入研究，调查了有多少文本仍然存在，我们如何能够访问它们，如何从语言学的角度研究雅库特史诗，本课题最重要的目的是整理和整理好龙须语文本资料，使之更好地为语言学研究服务。在我们项目的第一个财政年度，我们参观了俄罗斯科学院东方研究所的彼得堡分支，那里存放着俄罗斯帝国时期和之后的书籍、印刷品和研究人员的手稿。此外，我们还参观了萨克萨共和国图书馆，研究雅库特语言的印刷品。我们与俄罗斯和日本的雅库特语言研究人员或母语人士合作。通过本项目的实施，我们可以收集到俄罗斯，特别是萨克森共和国出版的雅库特语言的olongxo等新印刷品。olongxo文本本身目前出版的不多，但这些新收集的材料也将包括在我们收集的olongxo数据的进一步版本中。由于本项目的成果以文章，研究论文，一般由项目成员提供数据和材料。近期我们将出版一部关于雅库特史诗《奥隆措》语言学研究的专著。

This two-year research project is concerned to the study of Yakut (or Saxa) epic poem, olongxo. In this period of the 2000- the 2001 fiscal years, we worked intensively on the olongxo text collected in the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and Russian Federation today, investigating how many texts are remained, how we can access them, how Yakut epics have been studied from the linguistic point of view, and so on. As the most important aim of our project is to compile the data of olongxo text and make the data easier to be available for linguistic research. In the first fiscal year of our project we visited St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies of Russian Academy of Sciences, where the books, printed matters and researchers' manuscripts at the time of Russian Empire and afterwards are stored. Besides, we also visited the Library of Republic of Saxa to research the printed matters in Yakut language. We cooperate with researchers or the native speakers of Yakut language in Russia as well as Japan. Through the period of this project, we could collect newly printed matters published in Russia, especially in the Republic of Saxa on olongxo in Yakut languages and so on. The olongxo text itself is not so much published so far, but these newly collected materials will be also included in the further version of our collection of olongxo data.As the fruits of this projects are published in the form of articles, research papers, data and materials in general by the members of the project. In the near future we will publish a monograph on the linguistic research on Yakut epic olongxo.
