Unraveling the Overall Picture of Japanese Dialect Variation
We studied the Japanese dialect by calculating aggregated PMI Levenshtein distances among local Japanese dialects using data from 2400 locations and 141 items from the Linguistic Atlas of Japan Database (LAJDB). Through factor analysis, we found the latent linguistic variables underlying the aggregated distances. We found two factors, the first of which reflects a division into five groups, and the second of which reflects the long-standing East/…
Language standardization and railway-walking distance. Levenshtein distance and distribution in GAJ
In this paper, new quantitative methods were applied to elucidate the geographical distribution of Japanese dialects. (1) Regional differences (individual differences) of usage rate of standard language at each locality in GAJ (Grammar Atlas of Japanese Dialects) were dealt with. (2) In addition to the railway distance from Tokyo to each locality, the walking distance from the railway stations to the survey localities was measured and used as the…
New Dialect and Obsolescence in Hamaogi Glottogram Survey And#8213; Dialect Vocabulary Change in 250 Years And#8213
In this paper, we analyze the diffusion process of standard and dialectal forms in terms of geography and age distribution based on computational lexicology.The basic data are drawn from largescale questionnaire surveys.These surveys inquired about words recorded in the dialect glossary Hamaogi compiled 250 years ago in Tsuruoka City.MCA (Multiple Correspondence Analysis) was applied to the whole set of data.Eight words were described in detail o…
Real time and memory time of “father”. Social and linguistic motivation observed in Glottograms
This paper introduces the concept of “memory time” and gives an overview of its application to dialect forms that refer to “father”. Changes in many regions are shown by glottograms that simultaneously show regional and generational differences. The usage of kinship terms in Japanese shows interesting sociolinguistic features. It is linked to the consciousness of attribution to a specific social class. Due to the agricultural land reform after th…
Japanese Solidarity with U.S.-Occupied Okinawa in the 1950s
The year 2022 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Okinawa's reversion to Japan. This article examines the Japan Civil Liberties Union's 1955 solidarity activism on occupied Okinawa, which generated Japanese civil society's first awakening to the “Okinawa problem.” The Asahi Shinbun 's front-page article on the organization's publication “Human Rights Problems in Okinawa” and its follow-up coverage triggered public debate influencing Japan/U.S. offi…
Multivariate Analysis of Geography and Age in Dialect Vocabulary — Comprehensive Analysis of 250 Years of Language Change
In this paper, we analyze long-term changes in dialect vocabulary. By analyzing the age difference of 140 years and the regional difference of 27 survey points, we will examine historical change and geographical spread over the 250 years since the compilation of a dialect glossary. First, we present the distribution of eight representative words according to the traditional method of linguistic geography. After that, we present comprehensive maps…
The Effects of Age and Gender on the Perceptions of Linguistic Variation in the Qassimi Arabic Dialect
This article examines the effects of age and gender on perceptions that speakers of Qassimi Arabic, a variety of Najdi Arabic spoken in central Saudi Arabia, have of the placement and extent of dialect areas marked on hand-drawn maps representing variation within their own dialect. Analysis of composite maps of respondents' perceptions using a GIS mapping program (ArcGIS) reveals that both age and gender have an effect on respondents' perceptions…
Dialect vocabulary changes over 100 years. Standardization and new dialect forms in Hamaogi glossary
This paper treats linguistic changes over a long time span, covering 100 years in terms of the birth years of the informants and over 250 years since the compilation of a dialect glossary. Data from seven generations about 20 years apart were acquired. We compare the absolute time of linguistic change in lexical items recorded in Hamaogi, a dialect glossary, with the results of a large-scale sociolinguistic survey in Tsuruoka City. For lexical ph…
Year of first attestation of Standard Japanese Forms and Gravity Centre by Railway Distance
In this paper two simplification techniques are used in order to represent geographical distribution patterns of standard Japanese. The first technique is a representation of two-dimensional geographical distribution patterns in one dimension. The second is the plotting of geographical locations making use of railway distances from cultural centres. By simplifying the two-dimensional geographical distribution into one by railway distance, another…
Japanese Dialectology in Historical Perspectives
Subjective Dialect Division in Great Britain
L'A. examine la representation mentale qu'ont les etudiants anglais de la repartition geographique des dialectes en Grande-Bretagne. Il semble que cette representation soit largement influencee par la division geographique Ecosse, Pays de Galles, Irelande du Nord, Angleterre. L'etude permet une meilleure comprehension de la structure dialectale de l'anglais en Grande-Bretagne et permet de tester la validite d'une methodologie deja utilisee par l'…
