Presented at the 21st Manchester Phonology Meeting. Discusses affrication in Japanese and Quebec French. Poster is also available for download. This handout differs in font and fixes typographical errors in the original handout. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. My thesis will include an updated discussion of this poster with reference to dialect data.

Japanese pitch accent is of of great interest for historical linguistics, due to its relative stability. Japanese dialects can be grouped into accent types and sub-types, and their similarities may in some cases point to historical connections between populations. One common accentual behaviour is found in noun compounding: All dialects of the widespread Tōkyō type are said to have similar rules for deriving compound accent from the component nouns. The rules imply that the accent of a compound never occurs before its morpheme boundary. We have, however, found instances of just such accents in our fieldwork. Intriguingly , this seems to occur more often in otherwise 'conservative' dialect areas. We discuss the historical interpretation of this anomalous finding.

This is a final version of the manuscript submitted for publication (Shimoji, Michinori, ed., An Introduction to the Japonic Languages: Grammatical Sketches of Japanese Dialects and Ryukyuan Languages. Brill). This chapter is one of the nine grammatical sketches included in the volume (Aomori, Izumo, Yanagawa, Tokunoshima Amami, Iheya Okinawan, Kin Okinawan, Aragusuku Miyako and Shiraho Yaeyama).

本発表の目的は，北琉球沖縄語今帰仁謝名方言における「私たち」の2 形式（wattaa とagamii）の使い分けを記述することである。今帰仁村を含む沖縄本島北部の諸方言には，「私たち」にワッター系とアガ系の2 系列あることが知られており，ワッター系は除外，アガ系は包括という除括性
（clusivity）の区別として分析されてきた(内間1979, 1994)。しかし，謝名方言におけるwattaa（ワッター系）とagamii（アガ系）の対立はこの定説では説明できないことが明らかとなった。本発表では，wattaa とagamii の対立が，除括性と異なる観点である人称対立性，すなわち「聞き手側（あなたたち）ないし他者側（彼ら）と対立しているか否か」により適切に記述できることを示す。wattaa は人称対立性があり，（あなたに対する）「私たち」（＝除外に対応）と（彼らに対する）「私たち」（=包括に対応）の意味で使われる。一方，agamii は人称対立性のない「私たち」であり，会話参与者（私とあなた（たち））のみを単に指すことから結果的に包括に対応する。

琉球沖永良部語正名方言（以下正名方言）は、鹿児島県大島郡知名町正名集落で話されている言語である。本稿では、正名方言の待遇表現を日本語標準語に対応させて得られた待遇表現形式とその用法について述べる。できる限り、琉球諸語に属するほかの言語変種との比較も行なう。

The present article focuses on the vitality situation of the Kyōto dialect. In particular, it deals with the dialectal scripts that can be seen in the linguistic landscape of Kyōto. The main scope of the research is to attempt a possible classification of the dialectal texts as significant markers of their linguistic vitality: In this sense, “visual” dialects have to be considered indexes of positive social values rather than oral communication tools. The analysis of texts seen in both the private and the public domains leads to a new methodology of classification, applicable to each linguistic variation of Japan, which also reflects pragmatic and socio-linguistic parameters underlying better the vitality situation of the dialects as seen in the urban space.

⽇琉諸語の複数表⽰については，これまで主に個別⽅⾔の記述研究において議論されてきた（Shimoji 2008, Pellard 2010, Niinaga 2014, 原⽥2015, 重野・⽩⽥2016，⽊部2016，徳永2017, 占部2018，セリック2018，三樹2018... more

The present study discusses the issue of non-canonical argument marking in Japanese dialects with a special focus on the stimulus argument of adjectival experiencer constructions (e.g. ‘thunder’ in ‘I’m afraid of thunder’). The stimulus argument in question is canonically marked by the nominative case, but in many Kyushu and other western Japanese dialects it is also marked by the dative case. By focusing mainly on the Omae dialect of Shiiba Village, Miyazaki Prefecture, we discuss the following facts about non-canonical dative marking (NCDM) patterns in Japanese dialects: (1) NCDM is not a unique phenomenon of Omae, but is found across western Japanese dialects, especially Kyushu dialects and Shikoku dialects, (2) NCDM is restricted to experiencer constructions and is not found in other two-place adjectival sentences like the double subject construction, (3) NCDM is most likely to occur in a sentence where the predicate is a negative psych adjective like ‘feel afraid’, ‘feel uncomf...
