ABSTRACT

A typical computer usage in Japanese linguistics is relating to how to use various application softwares. Programming (to make an executable software) is far from the application software, but is very important and essential in some research themes. In some cases of research process, we often create a new and original idea, which must be represented as a software in order to understand its behavior. Execution of the software yields some outputs and helps us to rethink the idea. In this paper, three examples of my researches are picked up and explained from the viewpoint of programming. Reciprocal Averaging and n-way Reciprocal Averaging are useful for the analysis of crosstables. They include numeric calculation and are widely applicable to various data. They sometimes propose the researchers some tendencies observed in the data. Automatic Isogloss Drawing is a method of drawing isoglosses (curved lines which indicate borders of some dialect forms) in various linguistic maps, which is now under consideration and on the process of research. It generates objective isoglosses based on a specific algorithm. Most isoglosses were drawn manually based on subjectve decisions by past researchers. They must be reconsidered and reconfirmed through comparing to the result of Automatic Isogloss Drawing.
