Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed local assembly minutes and revealed usage of onomatopoeia (mimetic words) and relation between co-occurrence words and meaning of onomatopoeia.
In addition, regional differences of frequency of mimetic words were analyzed using multivariate analysis. Unnoticed dialects and regional differences of second person pronouns were also analyzed.
Feature words of local assembly minutes were extracted using TF*IDF algorithm. The target period is FY 2011 - FY 2014. The regional differences, time changes, individual differences of the feature words were analyzed.
