These monographs present new and original research beyond the scope of the article. We hope they will benefit our field by bringing to it perspectives that will stimulate further research and insight. Originally published in limited edition, the Linguistic Inquiry Monographs are now more widely available. This change is due to the great interest engendered by the series and by the needs of a growing readership. The editors thank the readers for their support and welcome suggestions about future directions for the series. Samuel Jay Keyser for the Editorial Board Acknowledgments This research was partially supported by Faculty Senate grants from the University of California at Santa Cruz and by the National Science Foundation under grant SBR-9510868. The completion of the book was made possible by our year-long research sabbatical (spring 2001–winter 2002) in Kyoto, Japan, and at Kobe Uni- versity, which was funded by a Japan Foundation fellowship to the first author and a research fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science to the sec- ond author. (The authors’ names appear in alphabetical order.) For making it pos- sible for us to focus on this project during 2001–2002, we would like to thank our colleagues in the Department of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz; and for guidance and support throughout this project, we are indebted to Professors Shosuke Haraguchi and Osamu Fujimura. Part of this research was first presented at the 1996 Kobe Phonology Forum hosted by the Phonological Society of Japan (Ito and Mester 1996a) and at the 1996 Western Conference on Linguistics (WECOL) at UC Santa Cruz.

    NINJAL International Symposium 2018 Approaches to Endangered Languages in Japan and Northeast Asia, August 6-8 The study of old documents of Hokkaido and Kuril Ainu: Promise and Challenges Tomomi Sato (Hokkaido U) & Anna Bugaeva (TUS/NINJAL) [email protected] [email protected]) Introduction: Ainu • AINU (isolate, North Japan, moribund) • Is the only non-Japonic lang. of Japan. • Major dialect groups : Hokkaido (moribund), Sakhalin (extinct since 1993), Kuril (extinct since the end of XIX). • Was also spoken in Tōhoku till mid XVIII. • Hokkaido Ainu dialects: Southwestern (well documented) Northeastern (less documented) • Is not used in daily conversation since the 1950s. • Ethnical Ainu: 100,000. 2 Fig. 2 Major language families in Northeast Asia （excluding Sinitic） Amuric Mongolic Tungusic Ainuic Koreanic Japonic • Ainu shares only few features with Northeast Asian languages. • Ainu is typologically “more like a morphologically reduced version of a North American language.” (Johanna Nichols p.c.). • This is due to the strongly head-marking character of Ainu (Bugaeva, to appear). Why is it important to study Ainu? • Ainu culture is widely regarded as a direct descendant of the Jōmon culture which was spread in the Japanese archipelago in the Prehistoric time from about 14,000 BC. • Ainu is the only surviving Jōmon language; there had been other Jōmon lgs too: about 300 lgs (Janhunen 2002), cf. 10 lgs (Whitman, p.c.) . • Ainu is likely to be much more typical of what languages were like in Northeast Asia several millennia ago than the picture we would get from Chinese, Japanese or Korean. • Focusing on Ainu can help us understand a period of northeast Asian history when political, cultural and linguistic units were very different to what they have been since the rise of the great historically-attested states of East Asia.

  • The Orthographic Characterization of Rendaku and Lyman's
    a journal of Kawahara, Shigeto. 2018. Phonology and orthography: The orthographic general linguistics Glossa characterization of rendaku and Lyman’s Law. Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 3(1): 10. 1–24, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/gjgl.368 RESEARCH Phonology and orthography: The orthographic characterization of rendaku and Lyman’s Law Shigeto Kawahara The Keio Institute of Cultural and Linguistic Studies, Keio University, 2-15-45 Minato-ku, Mita, Tokyo, JP [email protected] This paper argues that phonology and orthography go in tandem with each other to shape our phonological behavior. More concretely, phonological operations are non-trivially affected by orthography, and phonological constraints can refer to them. The specific case study comes from a morphophonological alternation in Japanese, rendaku. Rendaku is a process by which the first consonant of the second member of a compound becomes voiced (e.g., /oo/ + /tako/ → [oo+dako] ‘big octopus’). Lyman’s Law blocks rendaku when the second member already contains a voiced obstruent (/oo/ + /tokage/ → *[oo+dokage], [oo+tokage] ‘big lizard’). Lyman’s Law, as a constraint which prohibits a morpheme with two voiced obstruents, is also known to trigger devoicing of geminates in loanwords (e.g. /beddo/ → [betto] ‘bed’). Rendaku and Lyman’s Law have been extensively studied in the past phonological literature. Inspired by recent work that shows the interplay between orthographic factors and grammatical factors in shaping our phonological behaviors, this paper proposes that rendaku and Lyman’s Law actually operate on Japanese orthography. Rendaku is a process that assigns dakuten diacritics, and Lyman’s Law prohibits morphemes with two diacritics.

The objects examined include one such handscroll painting, several illustrated books from the Sakamaki-Hawley Collection, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library, and Hokusai Ryūkyū Hakkei, an 1832 series of eight landscape prints depicting sites in Okinawa. Drawing upon previous scholarship on the role of popular publishing in forming conceptions of “Japan” or of “national identity” at this time, a media discourse approach is employed to argue that such publications can serve as reliable indicators of understandings

  • Rendaku As a Rhythmic Stabilizer in Eastern Old Japanese Poetry John
    Rendaku as a rhythmic stabilizer in Eastern Old Japanese poetry John Kupchik Kyoto University / JSPS The Eastern Old Japanese dialects, spoken in the 8th century and attested in books 14 and 20 of the Man’yōshū poetry anthology, are a heterogeneous group of related language varieties that each display some of the earliest attested examples of rendaku. Morpheme-based rendaku, which manifests when a phonologically reduced, nasal-initial copula, case suffix, or final syllable of a nominal root fuses with a following voiceless onset, is the most commonly attested type. In fact, it may even occur twice in the same line. An example is given in (1) below. (1) M20:4368.1-2 (Pitati province) 久自我波々 / 佐氣久阿利麻弖 kunzi-ŋ-gapa pa / sake-ku ari-mat-e PN-GEN-river TOP / be.safe-AVINF ITER-wait-IMP ‘Be waiting for me safely, at Kunzi river!’ The underlying form in the first line of (1) is /kunzi-nə kapa pa/. Examples of process-based rendaku are also attested, in which case no segmentable morpheme can be derived from the resulting voiced onset. This type of rendaku is only attested a few times, and only in reduplicated forms. It has a function of pluralization, which is not found in morpheme-based rendaku. An example is shown in (2) below. (2) M20:4391.1-3 (Simotupusa province) 久尓具尓乃 / 夜之里乃加美尓 / 奴作麻都理 kuni- ŋguni-nə / yasiri-nə kami-ni / nusa matur-i province-REDUP-GEN / shrine-GEN deity-DAT / paper_offering offer-INF ‘I make paper offerings to the deities in the shrines of many provinces.’ This talk will focus on the use of morpheme-based rendaku to maintain rhythmic stability in poetic verse.

    Deep Learning for Classical Japanese Literature Tarin Clanuwat∗ Mikel Bober-Irizar Center for Open Data in the Humanities Royal Grammar School, Guildford Asanobu Kitamoto Alex Lamb Center for Open Data in the Humanities MILA, Université de Montréal Kazuaki Yamamoto David Ha National Institute of Japanese Literature Google Brain Abstract Much of machine learning research focuses on producing models which perform well on benchmark tasks, in turn improving our understanding of the challenges associated with those tasks. From the perspective of ML researchers, the content of the task itself is largely irrelevant, and thus there have increasingly been calls for benchmark tasks to more heavily focus on problems which are of social or cultural relevance. In this work, we introduce Kuzushiji-MNIST, a dataset which focuses on Kuzushiji (cursive Japanese), as well as two larger, more challenging datasets, Kuzushiji-49 and Kuzushiji-Kanji. Through these datasets, we wish to engage the machine learning community into the world of classical Japanese literature. 1 Introduction Recorded historical documents give us a peek into the past. We are able to glimpse the world before our time; and see its culture, norms, and values to reflect on our own. Japan has very unique historical pathway. Historically, Japan and its culture was relatively isolated from the West, until the Meiji restoration in 1868 where Japanese leaders reformed its education system to modernize its culture. This caused drastic changes in the Japanese language, writing and printing systems. Due to the modernization of Japanese language in this era, cursive Kuzushiji (くずしc) script is no longer taught in the official school curriculum.

However, when the conductor announced the final station of the train five minutes later, it turned out to be Itozaki station.
