Research Abstract |
Little attention has been paid to the question of dialect differences in the deictic use of Japanese demonstratives. Uncovering this question leads us to a better understanding of demonstratives in our language system. In 2012, we examined potential differences in the use of demonstratives between speakers in the Kansai and Chugoku areas of Japan. While both of these regions are located in the Western part of Japan, the dialect in each is quite different. Our data suggests that there is a difference in demonstrative use between the two regions, particularly in terms of how the space around the hearer is referred. Specifically, speakers in the Kansai region tend to use sono-NP, which supports the findings in existing studies. However, speakers from the Chugoku region use ano-NP to refer to the same area.
