Reconstruction of the theoretical and 実証的 foundation of the historical study in Japanese Language

本项目的主要研究成果总结如下：i)金水聪及其合作者通过引入句法观点可以清楚地揭示日语中格助词的发展/转换过程和名词性短语的结构变化过程。ii)Oshika Tadahisa认为，古日语名词性那里的本质在于它的预言力，它赋予原本缺乏预言力的表达以预言性。iii)高山道明认为，日语中的超音节是源于它的吟诵风格，而不是对语言内在本质的直接反映。4)井上良彦详细研究了各种古日语材料中“waka”是如何书写的，以考虑“waka”书写与“kana”(日本本土文字)的形成之间的关系。V)基于对从各种历史和方言语言材料中收集的d‘ata的分析，Abe Seiya揭示了日语味觉形容词的部分基本词汇结构。vi)前田博之证明生成音系学框架(包括最优化理论)是卓有成效地适用于日语历史的分析，并对一个版本的音乐注释的Heiko Monogatari文本中的一系列旋律音符进行了音系学解释。

The main investigation results obtained by this project's principal investigator and his co-investigators are summarized as follows : i) KINSUI Satoshi and his collaborators have shown that the development/transition process of case particles and the structural change process of nominal phrases in Japanese can be clearly revealed by introducing a syntactic viewpoint.ii) OSHIKA Tadahisa has argued that the essence of Old Japanese adnominal nari lay in its predicative force which assigns predicativity to expressions originally lacking such a force.iii) TAKAYAMA Michiaki has argued that hypermeter in "waka" (classical Japanese poetry) stems from its chanting style, not a direct reflect of the language's intrinsic nature. iv) INUI Yoshihiko has examined in detail how "waka" were written in a wide variety of Old Japanese linguistic materials to consider the relationship between "waka" writing and the formation of "kana" (Japanese native script). v) Based on the analysis of d'ata collected from a variety of historical and dialectal linguistic materials, ABE Seiya has shed new light on part of the 'fundamental lexical structure of Japanese taste adjectives. vi) MAEDA Hiroyuki has shown that a generative phonological framework (including Optimality Theory) is fruitfully applicable to the analysis of Japanese language history and given a phonological interpretation to a sequence of melody notes in a version of musically noted Heiko Monogatari text.
