| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on our reexaminational results of the Okinawan dialects, we went over them one more time from the viewpoint of G. A. Klimov’s contentive typology. As a result, we found out again that there does exist the nominative-case Nφ form in the dialects of the Okinawan Islands, especially in that of the Kunigami area. In the area, they use the nominative-case Nφ form when describing a natural phenomenon or existence in their dialect. This shows a strong possibility that the people in those Islands do use or have used the active type dialect. Our research also shows that there are two types in their first-person plural pronoun: one is inclusive and the other exclusive and that there is a binary opposition in their usage of a demonstrative. Our survey locations were the hamlets and/or villages of the main island of Okinawa, Kumejima Island and Kudakajima Island.
