This is the third product of the project “The Linguistic Survey of Two Million Characters in Contemporary Magazines” which analyzed 70 monthly magazines published in 1994. The present volume presents two tables of statistical results: a table of variant written forms of native Japanese words and Sino-Japanese words; and a table of written forms of Sino-Japanese words arranged by their character types.
This report, together with two previous ones, A Survey of Kanji in Contemporary Magazines (1994) (Report 119) and A Survey of Vocabulary in Contemporary Magazines (1994) (Report 121), aim to elucidate the actual state of written Japanese which changes with the times.
YAMAZAKI Makoto, TAKADA Tomokazu and ONUMA Etu carried out the survey and wrote this report.
