| Research Abstract |
In this research, an integrated usage survey has been conducted in dialects on the Japan Sea Coast, by paying attention to geographical and generational dynamics. The "glottogram" technique, in which linguistic survey is conducted for each generation along a linear area, is a new technique originally developed by Japanese dialectology. This technique has been applied to Japan archipelago diagonally from Hokkaido to Kyushu until now. Dynamics of dialects on the Japan Sea Coast have been ascertained in this research.
In the fiscal year 2006, researchers conducted a field survey for the glottogram in the western area of Shiga prefecture and acquired the data as planned before. The researchers were members of this grant-in-aid. Another field survey of all residents in Yamazoe area in Yamagata prefecture has been conducted in winter 2008. A. questionnaire which had been used 15 and 30 years ago was used after simplification. 70% of residents cooperated.
In the fiscal year 2007, another field survey was conducted in Japan Sea Coast in Hokuriku District, and all the results of survey were input as computerized data. The data was then output as glottogram graphs. The result of all residents' survey in Yamazoe near Tsuruoka city was input in the computer and output as graphs. They were compared with graphs of the two surveys in the past, and a theoretical model of S-shaped curve of linguistic change was found to be applicable to this real time survey of linguistic change.
Three series of glottograms of Aomori-Akita, Eastern Japan Sea Coast, and Western Shiga Prefecture were published as a report in 2008. By this publication of research results, it has been ascertained that dialectal forms are still newly born and spreading in 21st century By applying a multivariate analysis great geographical differences and conspicuous age differences are detected. As a related study, a report of dialect survey of high-school students and their parents was published.
