| Research Abstract |
1. Workshops : We had two workshops every year for three years : six workshops in total. Every participant of the workshop, which contained six or seven presentations in two days, gained a better understanding of various problems of the North Pacific languages through profitable discussions. We had several guest speakers, who stimulated us from fresh viewpoints. Among them were graduate students, who were offered the chance of academic presentation for educational purposes.
2. Arrangement and Analysis of Audio Data : Each member promoted arranging, copying and analyzing the audio data collection at his/her disposal. This is a basic task for the future construction of audio data base. Some samples of audio data were supplied for the audio exhibition at the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples.
3. Presentations and Publications : Some results of our research project were presented orally at various meetings such as the General Meetings of Japan Linguistic Society, a symposium supported by JLS, an International Symposium held by the Research Project of Priority Area, and several workshops at the National Museum of Ethnology. Some of the papers have been published in journals. Our results are also found in a series of research publications Languages of the North Pacific Rim vol.4 (1999), 5 (2000), 6 (2001 ; vols.4-6 in English), and 7 (2001, in Japanese), the last volume intended as a special issue for the present project.
