The National Language Research Institute Research Report ; 123
抄録(英)
The usage of honorifics in Japanese language has been one of the major subjects of the researches by the National Institute for Japanese Language. Based on the achievements of previous honorific studies, the two projects conducted from 1992 to 1998 expanded the scope of study from honorific expressions in the narrow sense to the various aspects of “consideration” that people take when communicating with others.
The analyses presented in this volume are based on two types of surveys conducted in four regions in Japan (Sendai, Tokyo, Kyoto and Kumamoto): interviews with 432 informants varying in age from teens to 80s, and a questionnaire administered to 1,136 high school students. Instead of making a uniform report of the statistical analysis of all the items questioned, the present volume consists of a collection of articles which feature particular analytical viewpoints of individual researchers.
OZAKI Yosimitu and KUMAGAI Tomoko were in charge of editing this volume.
