    自然言語の基本単位である「語(word)」とはなにかという問題は,伝統文法や構造主義言語学から現在の理論言語学や言語類型論に至るまで続く長年の問題であるが,いまだ明確な規定がなされていない。本研究は,語を文法的・音韻的特徴から外形的に規定する従来のアプローチと異なり,形態素および形態素以前の音連鎖(オノマトペの構成要素を含む)という内的成分がどのようなメカニズムによって語に組み立てられるかという語形成の観点から,言語類型の異なる諸言語-孤立型(中国語),膠着型(日本語,琉球諸語),複統合型(北米・スライアモン語),擬似複統合型(北米・ハイダ語)―を調査・分析することで,語の本質を解明することを目的とする。 2020年度には,主にデータ収集と言語記述の2つの面の研究成果があげられる。データ収集に関して,沈代表は2種類の方言調査を行った。A.西日本(4つの県)の諸方言における「ヨル・トル・テル」のアスペクト機能を調査した。それらの県は「岐阜県,三重県,奈良県,兵庫県」である。B. 中国黄河・汾河合流地域(8つの県市)の諸方言における形態素調査を行った。すなわち「黄河流域(吉県・郷寧県・河津市・万栄県)諸方言における3810形態素」,「汾河流域(襄汾県・侯馬市・新絳県・稷山県)諸方言における3810形態素」である。 次に,「語の本質」に関する研究成果もあげている。まず,秋田分担者は「日本語のオノマトペと言語類型論」,下地分担者は「方言研究における例文提示法について」,堀分担者は「ハイダ語の所有構造と譲渡可能性」,渡辺分担者は"A Sliammon Text: 'When Coming Out of the Woods,' as told by Mary George"などを公表している。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2019/04 -2023/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Doshisha University

    This research focuses on the situation of language transmission between two regions based on the stages of the language change between the Jin dialect district and Zhongyuan mandarin district in Qin-Jin along the Yellow River. There are three research results here. First, in this research project, we conducted a phonological interview survey of the dialects in 12 prefectures (4486 villages) in Qin-Jin which is the coastal area of Yellow River. Next, we constructed a database of dialects in Qin-Jin. This database contains the phonological information of the dialects in Qin-Jin and the phonological features of "Guang-Yun" corresponding to those entries, and the phonological information of Mandarin as Beijing dialect. Finally, we found that "the loss of entering tone " of the dialects in Qin-Jin, which is the coastal area in Yellow River, was divided into three stages, and we clarified by using GIS that all three stages were affected by the Guanzhong dialect of the southwestern areas., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2015/04 -2019/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Doshisha University

    This research has achieved the following important results, accord to our original research objectives : (1) we discovered new linguistic facts concerning the description of event expressions, (2) we constructed a theory of stative events and the comparative syntax between Chinese and Japanese causatives, (3) we carried out some psychological experiments about event expressions and published some papers, (4) We applied our theory to the development of the corpus study of events and created the data base system of 40 Chinese dialects, (5) we held research meetings about event expressions twelve times, (6) we held international conferences twice in order to publish the conference proceedings and to facilitate the academic interactions among linguists in China and Japan, (7) we already published one proceedings of the international conference held in China and we are now planning to publish four volumes of books concerning the descriptive and theoretical studies of the structure and interpretation of events. For more detailed information, see below. Finally, on the basis of the above achievements, we are convinced that we can promote exchange of various ideas with linguists in China, which enables us to start a new research project together., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2007 -2009, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Doshisha University
