| Research Abstract |
Dialect was thought to comprise linguistic system in a given society. Today, however, its function is changing from linguistic system into style, which is constrained by various situational factors. A number of codes do exist within an individual ; dialect-code, common-Japanese-code and so on.
This study aimed to clarify a whole picture of language use with a special reference to the frequency of dialect-code, and to that of code-switching between dialect-code and standard-Japanese-code. The differences of interlocutors, situations, and topics were taken into consideration.
A survey was conducted to collect spontaneous speech in service encounters at different types of retail business : department stores, supermarket, and small privately run shops in Kansai area. Transcriptions were made, and database in service encounters become available. Electric version is also available for a quick search.
Actual language use was analysed in each type of retail business, and comparisons between those types were made. Many reports claim that traditional dialectal forms are disappearing amongst younger generation speakers. However, the fact is that dialectal forms are not gone in place of standard Japanese forms; new local speech style (i.e.neo-dialect) emerges as a result. In this way, analyses were made to find the mechanism of change in dialect-code, focusing on the extent of the interference from standard Japanese, Tokyo dialect and Kansai dialect.
