| Research Abstract |
Our null hypothesis was that the results obtained from the four surveys conducted in Kobe, Ehima, Yamagata and Miyazaki would not deviate from those of the expected target output. Apart from six individual rendaku targets whose results deviated appreciably (though not significantly) from the norm (hada.zamui, hidari.kiki, katati.dukuQteiru, yake.jini, toraburu.kakusi, koohii.jawan), this was indeed the case. No significant differences in rendaku across dialect groups was evident. For four of the six rendaku targets mentioned above, however, it was the younger age cohort which showed the higher rendaku rates. This corroborates the trends uncovered in previous research by Ohta (2010, 2011) and Ohta & Yamashita (2012), who found that, in nearly all the compounds they surveyed, rendaku rates for rendaku were lower in older age cohorts.
