This paper presents the results of a quantitative analysis that makes clear the process of an accent change in progress in the Tokyo dialect. Here, Ⅰ concentrate upon the problem of an accentuation rule which assigns the accents of compound verbs (verb＋verb type) in a very simple way (rule A).
Ⅰ If the first component of a compound verb is unaccented, the compound verb itself is accented.
II If the first component of a compound verb is accented, the compound verb itself is unaccented.
In recent decades, this rule, once so strictly observed as to have almost no exceptions, appears to have undergone a change that may bring about further simplification of the rule. The new rule can be tentatively described as follows (rule B).
III Regardless of the accent of the first component, the compound verb itself is accented.
In the present study Ⅰ turn my attention to the course of the change in which rule A-II mentioned above is gradually losing its power and merging with rule A-Ⅰ. Ⅰ also examine some linguistic factors (e.g.word length) and some extralinguistic factors (e.g.age, sex) that are supposed to play important roles in this accent change. The data were obtained from “A Dictionary of Tone-accent on Words in the Tokyo Dialect Ⅰ,II.”
