Research Abstract	Our subjects of the research are as follows. the usage of conditional morpheme "gii" and its geo-linguistical distribution in the dialects of Northwestern Kyushu. the usage of the interjectory particles derived from the personal pronouns of the second person and their geo-linguistical distribution in the dialects of Western part of Japan. the usages of some grammaticalized forms derived from the citation form "toyuu" and their process of changes in the Tohoku dialects. By this research a part of the process in which the variations of the grammatical systems was produced became clear.
