| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Integrating qualitative information on speakers' social practice and research techniques from previous social psychological studies into the quantitative sociolinguistic paradigm, this study aims to theorize a causal relationship between variable local identities in a changing community under rapid globalization and synchronic variation in uses of a local dialect. The results show that local identity is a multi-faceted construct that consists of ideologies about globalization of the community, self-images, and both overt and covert attitudes toward local dialects and Standard Japanese. Speakers' responses to self-report questionnaires on their uses of a local dialect and topic-related style shifts to the local dialect in sociolinguistic interviews are found to be often mismatched, and the discrepancies can be accounted for by differing orientations to local identity.
