| Research Abstract |
In Sakhalin Island and along the Amur River, which flows between Russia and China, many ethnic minorities inhabit, including Nivkh, Uilta, Nanay (Hozhen in China), Negidal, Ul'chi, etc. It has been pointed that their mother tongues and traditional cultures are in endangered situation because of the powers of major cultures such as Russian or Chinese. In 1997 we started to research the language situation of Hozhen along the Chinese side of the Amur River. And to share the recognition of the linguistic situations of those ethnic groups, we invited Russian and Japanese scholars to Chiba Univ. and held several sessions. In those sessions we exchanged the information each other on those Siberian minor languages and prepared the expeditions to be made from next year on. In 98' we went to Nikolaevsk and Mago, which are situated near the mouth of the Amur River, and researched the grammar and sociolinguistic situations of Nivkh and Negidal. In '99 we focused our research to Nivkh and collected the acoustic data of their language and the visual data of their traditional cuisine. Current economic depressions and destruction of the transportation system in Russia force them to live in a state of self-sufficiency and to live, in a sense, in a traditional life style. But the same economical problems also make them difficult to study and educate their own language. One of the purposes of our research was to collect materials useful for teaching their languages to their own children. For the purpose we also tried to make connections with several primary schools or scholars in those areas.
