E Syllable Yi in Old Japanese e Syllable yi in Old Japanese Tom Dougherty Department of Linguistics University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa December , Introduction It is widely held that there was no syllable yi or wu in Old Japanese (cf. Vovin , p. ). However, Vovin () discusses the possibility of both yi and wu, providing sev- eral examples in whi we can infer yi and wu (Vovin , p. ). Since this paper is looking at yi and not wu, we shall set discussion relating to the possible syllable wu aside. ere are two possible solutions via triangulation whi we could use to solve the question of whether Old Japanese had the syllables yi and wu. e first would be a Middle Chinese transcription of Old Japanese whi unambiguously uses yi as opposed to i and wu as opposed to u. e second would be a loan from Old Japanese into Ainu whi is wrien with i in Old Japanese but ye in Ainu (note that Ainu lowers /i/ to [e] before /j/ and /w/), or with u in Old Japanese but wu in Ainu.¹ As far as I am aware, neither a Middle Chinese nor an Ainu triangulation is to be found. Further, there may be serious accuracy issues with any contemporary Chinese transcription of Old Japanese (Miyake , pp. -). Since these “magic bullet” solutions are not to be found, we must rely soley on in- ternal evidence. e main pieces of internal evidence are first i wrien in violation of the phonotactic rules of Old Japanese (i.e. [C]VCVCV…), and second, a seemingly free variation between i and yu in various words (Vovin , pp. -): ¹While the segment ye—from both *ye and *yi diaronically—is relatively common in Ainu, the segment wu is extremely rare. () 和我勢故波 / 多麻尓母我毛奈 / 手尓麻伎鵜 / 見都追由可牟乎 / 於 吉鵜伊加婆 乎思 wa -Nka se -kô pa tama n- -i möNkamô na TE -ni I - beloved - jewel - - arm - mak- -î -te MÎ -tutu yuk- -am- -u -wo ok- wrap- - - look()- - go- -- - - leave- -î -te ik- -aNpa wosi - - go- - be.regreable “[I] want my beloved to be a jewel! Although [I] would go wrapping [him] around my arm and looking at [him], [it] is regreable if [I] go leaving [him].” ( : ) (Vovin , p. ) In this paper, I will further explore whether or not we have reliable evidence for the existence of the syllable yi in Old Japanese. First, I will examine the man’yōgana used for both i and yu, looking at both their frequency across the corpus as well as their reconstructed forms in Early Middle Chinese. en I will examine the verb yuk- /ik- (“to go”), again looking at the raw frequencies of yuk- versus ik-, as well as some distributional peculiarities. Finally, I will look at the various words whi vary between yu and i in the Nihonshoki Kayō, because there is reason to believe that it would provide the most persuasive Old Japanese-internal evidence. Man’yōgana for i and yu I consulted both digitized as well as critical versions of the following texts: the Kojiki Kayō (), the Nihonshoki Kayō () , the Fudoki Kayō () , the Man’yōshū (), and the Bussoku Seki Ka (). I ose to exclude other Old Japanese texts, notably the Norito and the Senmyō, as these texts are extremely long, but have very few man’yōgana. I also omied man’yōgana used to write proper nouns whi continued to use the same Chinese aracters even aer the use of man’yōgana ceased. I feel that these fall into a special class of not-quite ongana, not-quite logograms. Further, only one place name that I know of is of any interest to the present study: Yukî Island, mentioned several times in the Man’yōshū and once in the Nihonshoki Kayō, is called Iki Island in modern Japanese. I consulted with Takagi, Gomi, and Ōno (; ; ; ) for the Man’yōshū, and Tsuihashi and Konishi () for all other texts. ere are, of course, limitations to this; some texts are interpreted differently in different critical editions, and critical editions oen la script variants from different manuscript traditions. For this present brief study, however, I do not feel this should not be too mu of an issue. My oices in terms whi man’yōgana forms to include follow directly from Vovin (, pp. -). Many forms given in Vovin () are unaested in the digitized cor- pus I use. is is almost certainly because not every manuscript tradition is represented in my corpus of Old Japanese. If I had consulted manuscript sources, these numbers would certainly be different, but I am fairly confident that the overall paern would still hold. Man’yōgana total 伊 *ʔjij , 以 *yiX 異 *yiH 移 *ye 因 *ʔjin 印 *ʔjinH 夷 *yij 怡 *yi 壱 *ʔjit Table : A list of ongana man’yōgana for i by frequency. Man’yōgana total 由 *yuw 喩 *yuH 遊 *yuw 油 *yuw 愈 *yuX 瑜 *yu 臾 *yu 庾 *yuX 踰 - Table : A list of ongana man’yōgana for yu by frequency. e Early Middle Chinese () values presented follow Baxter (). ese forms are especially interesting for examining the Nihonshoki Kayō, as the writing system had not gone through a Middle Korean intermediary like in all of the other texts (Vovin , pp. -). e Early Middle Chinese forms fall into two categories: those that have a palatal approximant as an initial and those that have a gloal stop as an initial (Baxter , pp. -). As one might expect, the man’yōgana for yu are all some variation of *yu in Baxter’s reconstruction of Early Middle Chinese (Baxter , pp. -). Curiously, of the man’yōgana for i aested in my corpus, only 伊 begins with what Baxter re- constructs as a gloal stop (Baxter , p. ). e rest agree in their initial, *y, but differ in their rhyme: 以 is reconstructed as *yiX, 異 is reconstructed as *yiH, and 移 is reconstructed as *ye (Baxter , pp. -). Note that Baxter () does not give a reconstruction for the aracter 踰 , but it is likely something along the lines of *yu, agreeing with the other aracters with similar phonetic radicals. My conclusions here are summarized in Table and Table . i-yuk- , , , : ; : , ; : , ; : uti-yuk- : ; : ; : taNpî yuk- : ; : , , , ; : , ; : ; : , , Table : A listing of various co-occurrences with the verb yuk-. Multiple instances of the same poem indicate multiple co-occurrences in the poem. Distributional Peculiarities of yuk-/ik- It goes without saying that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. However, there are some distributional peculiarities whi, when coupled with the orig- inal Middle Chinese reading of the man’yōgana involved, could lend weak support for a syllable yi for the verb yuk-/ik- in Old Japanese. In this section I deal with this verb alone because it is by far the most frequent of all of these yu/i variable words, and thus provides mu more information with whi we can make inferences. Note that this listing is not intended to be exhaustive; there are likely other distributional oddities. e Prefix i- When the verb yik- is prefixed with the directive-locative focus marker i-, in all examples that I have found, it is spelled as yuk- rather than ik-. All phonographic co- occurrences can be found in Table . For example: () 於伎都之麻 / 伊由伎和多里弖 / 可豆久知布 / 安波妣多麻母我 / 都々美弖夜良牟 okî -tu sima i- yuk- -î -watar- -i -te kaNtuk- open_sea -. island - go- - -cross- - - dive- -u t- ip- -u apaNpî tama möNka tutum- -î -te yar- - say- - abalone pearl hide- - - send- -am- -u -- - “I will hide it and send it, the abalone pearl [you] want that I said I would go towards the island in the open sea and dive [for].” ( : ) All examples in the Kojiki and the Man’yōshū use 由 for yu, whi Baxter recon- structs as *yuw (Baxter , p. ). All examples in the Nihonshoki Kayō use 喩 for yu. Baxter reconstructs this as *yuH (Baxter , p. ). However, except in the Nihonshoki Kayō, this distinction may not be important; the man’yōgana used in documents other than the Nihonshoki, while originally from Late Middle Chinese, went through a Mid- dle Korean intermediary whi did not have a distinction between /i/ and /ji/ (Miyake , pp. -; Vovin , p. ). is construction is not aested in the Fudoki Kayō or the Bussoku Seki Ka. I have also omied the numerous logographic examples from the Man’yōshū, whi tell us nothing about how this co-occurrence might have been pronounced. e Prefix uti- Similar to when yik- co-occurs with the prefix i-, when yik- co-occurs with the pre- fix uti-, it shows the same spelling bias towards yuk- rather than ik-. e only examples are from the Man’yōshū, and are found in Table . One— : —is wrien logo- graphically. e others are all spelled with 由 for yu. () 波萬へ余里 / 和我宇知由可波 / 宇美邊欲理 / 牟可倍母許奴可 / 安 麻能都里夫祢 pama PÊ -yöri wa -Nka uti- yuk- -aNpa umî PÊ -yôri mukapë bea side - I - - go- - sea side - meeting mö kö- -n- -u ka ama -nö tur- -i -N- come- -- - fisherperson - angle- - -- pune boat “If I went from the edge of the bea, would I also meet the fisherman’s boat whi came from the seaside?” ( : ) . e Bigram taNpî yuk- e phrase taNpî yuk-, meaning “to go on a journey”, also displays the same tendency towards yuk- spellings. It only occurs in the Man’yōshū, and is only spelled using 由 (yu). Once again, these are found in Table . For example: () 久左麻久良 / 多妣由久 比等乎 / 伊波比之麻伊久 / 与布流末弖 / 伊 波比伎尓家牟 kusa makura taNpî yuk- -u -N- pîtö -wo ipapîsima grass pillow journey go- - -- person - Ipapîsima iku yö p- -uru -maNte ipap- -î k- -î -n- how_many generation pass- - - pray- come- - -- -i -k- -êm- -u - -.- -- - “For how many generations has Ipapîsima prayed for people going on a journey [using] grass [for their] pillow?” ( : ) .

Northern Illinois University 1. Introduction2 The origin of man'yo:gana, the phonetic writing system used by the Japanese who originally had no script, is shrouded in mystery and myth. There is even a tradition that prior to the importation of Chinese script, the Japanese had a native script of their own, known as jindai moji ( , age of the gods script). Christopher Seeley (1991: 3) suggests that by the late thirteenth century, Shoku nihongi, a compilation of various earlier commentaries on Nihon shoki (Japan's first official historical record, 720 ..), circulated the idea that Yamato3 had written script from the age of the gods, a mythical period when the deity Susanoo was believed by the Japanese court to have composed Japan's first poem, and the Sun goddess declared her son would rule the land below.

  • The Japanese Writing Systems, Script Reforms and the Eradication of the Kanji Writing System: Native Speakers’ Views Lovisa Österman
    The Japanese writing systems, script reforms and the eradication of the Kanji writing system: native speakers’ views Lovisa Österman Lund University, Centre for Languages and Literature Bachelor’s Thesis Japanese B.A. Course (JAPK11 Spring term 2018) Supervisor: Shinichiro Ishihara Abstract This study aims to deduce what Japanese native speakers think of the Japanese writing systems, and in particular what native speakers’ opinions are concerning Kanji, the logographic writing system which consists of Chinese characters. The Japanese written language has something that most languages do not; namely a total of ​ ​ three writing systems. First, there is the Kana writing system, which consists of the two syllabaries: Hiragana and Katakana. The two syllabaries essentially figure the same way, but are used for different purposes. Secondly, there is the Rōmaji writing system, which is Japanese written using latin letters. And finally, there is the Kanji writing system. Learning this is often at first an exhausting task, because not only must one learn the two phonematic writing systems (Hiragana and Katakana), but to be able to properly read and write in Japanese, one should also learn how to read and write a great amount of logographic signs; namely the Kanji. For example, to be able to read and understand books or newspaper without using any aiding tools such as dictionaries, one would need to have learned the 2136 Jōyō Kanji (regular-use Chinese characters). With the twentieth century’s progress in technology, comparing with twenty years ago, in this day and age one could probably theoretically get by alright without knowing how to write Kanji by hand, seeing as we are writing less and less by hand and more by technological devices.

  • Writing As Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-Language Literature
    At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2021 Reading Committee: Edward Mack, Chair Davinder Bhowmik Zev Handel Jeffrey Todd Knight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2021 Christopher J Lowy University of Washington Abstract At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Edward Mack Department of Asian Languages and Literature This dissertation examines the dynamic relationship between written language and literary fiction in modern and contemporary Japanese-language literature. I analyze how script and narration come together to function as a site of expression, and how they connect to questions of visuality, textuality, and materiality. Informed by work from the field of textual humanities, my project brings together new philological approaches to visual aspects of text in literature written in the Japanese script. Because research in English on the visual textuality of Japanese-language literature is scant, my work serves as a fundamental first-step in creating a new area of critical interest by establishing key terms and a general theoretical framework from which to approach the topic. Chapter One establishes the scope of my project and the vocabulary necessary for an analysis of script relative to narrative content; Chapter Two looks at one author’s relationship with written language; and Chapters Three and Four apply the concepts explored in Chapter One to a variety of modern and contemporary literary texts where script plays a central role.
