[Japanese Dialect Database 1-20 (Source 13-1~13-20)]
The Japanese Dialect Database is a resource which contains acoustic and written data of Japanese dialect discourses spoken by the elderly native speakers (20 volumes, available both on CD-ROM and in a print edition with audio CDs). The data were collected in the project for recording and preservation of traditional Japanese dialects conducted by the Agency for Cultural Affairs during 1977-1985. The volumes provide valuable information on modern Japanese dialects in real communication, and contribute to Japanese language research and education.
INOUE Humiko was in charge of constructing this database.
