Linguistic Geographic Research into the Yaeyama Dialects of the Ryukyus

基于通过田野调查获得的语言语料库，八重山方言的语言地理地图生成。通过对这些资料的分析，阐明了与那国方言与其他八重山方言的对立关系，西表县西部方言可归属于八重山方言的一个下属方言群，石垣县方言可归属于八重山方言的一个下属方言群，西表县西部方言可归属于八重山方言的一个下属方言群，西表县西部方言可归属于八重山方言的一个下属方言群。竹富、小滨、荒宿、八户马、黑岛和波照马的方言具有各自的特点，不允许将它们归为一个方言群。

Based on linguistic corpora obtained through fieldwork, linguistic geographic maps of the Yaeyama dialects were generated. From analysis of these data, the following points were clarified : The Yonaguni dialect stands in opposition to the other Yaeyama dialects ; the western Iriomote dialects can be located as a subordinate dialect group of the Yaeyama dialects ; the Ishigaki dialects can be concluded to be one subordinate dialect group of the Yaeyama dialects ; the dialects of Taketomi, Kohama, Aragusuku, Hatoma, Kuroshima, and Hateruma have individual characteristics which do not permit them to be grouped into one dialect group.
