| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project studies on phonetic and phonological distribution of voiced geminates in Japanese dialects especially in Amakusa area. Although it was argued that voiced geminates are avoided in Standard Japanese, some studies pointed out that some Western dialects have words with voiced geminates. There are, however, no enough descriptions of such words. The findings are below: (1) Voicing is kept in the stricture of voiced geminates in many dialects of Amakusa area. (2) Acoustic phonetic realization of geminate voicing in Yamagata dialects is different of such in Amakusa dialects. (3) Some dialects in Kyushu are have productive voiced geminates in root-compounds such as numerals and Sino-Japanese words.
