| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research focuses on the idea that dialectal differences fundamentally involve the same syntactic mechanisms as found to work in language in general, and attempts to identify what syntactic properties contribute to dialectal variation. As empirical research, the present research investigated and analyzed the Kikai language spoken on Kikai Island in Amami. As a result, it turned out that Complementizer Deletion, N’-Deletion and Case patterns all contribute to language variation. Syntactic mechanisms behind them have not been fully identified, but this way of research should lead to a more articulated theory in which micro-variation and macro-variation do not differ essentially in that the rules and principles isolated for macro-variation are also responsible for micro-variation.
