 note = {In this report on sociolinguistic survey research, we investigated the connection between the social changes in Japan after World War II and the changes in honorifics which occurred during these changes. This research proceeded from two different perspectives. The first, described in Chapters 2 and 3, was a macroscopic point of view. We examined the changes in standards for honorific behavior and traced these back through changes in Japanese social structure and social ties during the 40 years since the war. The second, described in Chapters 4 through 6, consisted of research from a microscopic point of view. In these chapters we described the present situation of and changes in life style and life awareness of regional citizens and in honorific awareness and usage, and contrasted these results with a previous survey conducted before the war in the 2 regional societies, Kita Akita-gun, Kamikoani-mura in Akita Prefecture, and Higasi Tonami-gun, Kamitaira-mura in Toyama Prefecture. We reconstructed events related to urbanization, changes in industrial structure, and the shift in generations, and based our analysis on a statistical analysis of these data from a sociological point of view. We described changes in social relationships from SIN ‘familiarity' to SO ‘distance' as reflected in the honorific behavior amidst these sociological changes (for example, a change from consideration of KAKAKU ‘family background' to greater consideration of age).
