| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Regarding the collection of data on phonological phenomena in the Kyushu dialect, although a fieldwork plan was drawn up, it could not be carried out due to the impact of the new coronavirus (COVID-19). However, the analysis of previously collected data and theoretical research from the novel perspectives of dialect formation and dialect breakdown have made great progress. Regarding the description of linguistic data in the former, we summarized the te-related phonological phenomena of the dialects of Nichinan City, Kushima City, Nishimera Village in Koyu District, Shiiba Village in Higashiusuki District, and Takachiho Town in Nishiusuki District, in the Miyazaki Prefecture. The latter theoretical study also postulated the dialect breakdown process that occurs in te-related phonological phenomena. The application environment of the phonological rules governing the phonological phenomena was found to have the property of "from specific to general".

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
テ形音韻現象が，単にある方言の言語現象というだけでなく，それが九州方言全体で地理的な移行性分布を示していること，またその方言崩壊に「特殊から一般へ」という言語普遍的な特徴が発見できたことは，学術的に重要な意義がある。また，この言語現象を材料として，アウトリーチなどに利用できる小冊子を作成したことは，試験的ではあるが，今後社会的な貢献の可能性を持っており，それゆえ大きな意義があると考える。
