What Happened to the Honorifics in a Local Japanese Dialect in 55 ears:y A Report from the Okazaki Survey on Honorifics Abstract This paper reports the analysis of the three trend samples from the Okazaki Honorifics Survey, a longitudinal survey by the National Language Research Institute on the use and the awareness of honorifics in Okazaki city, Aichi Prefecture in Japan. Its main results are: (1) the Okazakians are using more polite forms over the 55 years; (2) the effect of the three social variables (sex, age, and educational background), which used to be strong factors controlling the use of the honorifics in the speech community, are diminishing over the years; (3) in OSH I and II, the questions show clustering by the feature [±service interaction], while the same 11 questions in OSH III exhibit clustering by a different feature, [±spontaneous]; (4) the change in (3) and (4) can be accounted for nicely by the Democratization Hypothesis proposed by Inoue (1999) for the variation and change of honorifics in other Japanese dialects.

  • August 20, 2012
    August 20, 2012 Prepared： NGO Network for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (ERD Net) Submitted: The International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism – Japan Committee – IMADR-JC To the CERD Secretariat: We are pleased to submit the report concerning the hate speech against minority communities in Japan hoping that this could contribute to the CERD thematic discussion on hate speech of August 30, 2012. The report covers the propaganda of hate speech and dissemination of derogatory messages against some minority communities in Japan, namely Buraku, Zainichi Koreans and migrants. The present report does not cover the other minority communities such as Ryukyu-Okinawans and the Ainu, but we believe that a similar manifestation would be demonstrated against them when they face the challenge of hate speech. When we discuss about the hate speech in Japan, it is nothing but only a problem under no control. The main reasons rest with the absence of criminal code that prohibits and sanctions racist hate speech. Unless a committed hate speech has some connections or implications to other crimes, there is no legal means that forces an immediate halt of such act. Hate speech could constitute an illegal act under the civil law and only when it is aimed at specific individuals. As indicated in several cases contained in this report, perpetrators of hate speech have been arrested, charged and convicted for the crimes of defamation, forgery of private documents, damage to property, and etc. that are not intended to sanction hate speech. Racially motivated acts are only sanctioned as petty crimes under the present law in Japan, thus, conviction of such acts is less effective in terms of prevention of crimes.

  • An Introduction to Iwase Bunko Library
    EAST ASIAN PUBLISHING AND SOCIETY East Asian Publishing and Society 2 (2012) 76-82 brill.nl/eaps An Introduction to Iwase Bunko Library Dylan McGee Nagoya University1 Graduate School of Comparative Languages and Cultures, Nagoya, Japan [email protected] Iwase Bunko Library, located in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, is home to one of the most important collections of early modern Japanese printed books and manuscripts in central Japan. Now, thanks to an ambitious bibliographic proj- ect being conducted by Professor Shiomura Kō of Nagoya University, research- ers and librarians can investigate, with unprecedented precision, nearly every facet of every book at Iwase Bunko Library. Currently in its eleventh year, this project has produced a public catalogue of extraordinarily detailed biblio- graphic information for over 16,000 titles at Iwase Bunko Library, with thirty- four categories of bibliographic data per title, including information about the provenance and narrative content of each work. In the interest of bringing this bibliographic resource to the attention of other researchers in the field, this piece offers an introduction to the online catalogue, descriptions of some of the notable items in its holdings, as well as a brief history of the library itself. A Brief History of the Library Iwase Bunko Library was founded in in Meiji 41 (1908) by Iwase Yasuke 岩瀬 弥助 (1867-1930), a wealthy businessman and politician from Nishio. Iwase began his career as the fourth-generation proprietor of the Yamamoto-ya, a vendor of fertilizer, before raising capital through a series of successful stock investments. In Meiji 31 (1898), Iwase was elected mayor of Nishio.
