ABSTRACT

By overviewing around 40 historical research articles published over the past 2 years, it is revealed that topics basically include documentation, orthography, phonology, lexicon and grammar. In terms of the source of analysis, a large portion of articles are based on foreign language data or multilingual data. Further, it is noteworthy that almost all of the articles focus on the period of language change. A considerable number of articles discuss the grammar and lexicon of “Kyogen” at the time when the language changed from Middle Japanese to Early Modern Japanese. There are also a good number of articles that focus on aspects of the changes of Early Modern Japanese by analysing the differences between the original version and revised version of “Shokaishingo”, which is a foreign language source. Introduction to, and research on foreign language study books at the time when Modern Japanese changed to Contemporary Japanese is also quite active.
