1. AIM OF THE SURVEY
The Linguistic Atlas of Japan uses the
geographical method and aims to clarify, as far as a limited questionnaire will allow, the two following problems:(1) The formation of the modern Japa‑
nese standard language.
When the ancient city of Edo, at the end
of the 19th century, became the capital of amodern state under the name of T6ky6, its language became the core of the modem Japa‑
nese standard language. As a further evolu‑
tion, in the first decades of the 20th century,
the spoken language of T6ky6 was taken as the base of the modern written language. It
is, however, not clear yet to what extent the dialect of the Kant6 region (the region sur‑rounding T6ky6) furnished the basic linguistic material of the standard language, or to what extent elements of other dialects were incorpo‑
rated in the process. The geographical range of the modern standard language, has yet to be defined exactly and its relationship with the surrounding dialects is unclear.

decline of many dialects have yet to be de‑
scribed.
2. THE METHOD OF THE SURVEY
The Linguistic Atlas of Japan is entirely based on personal interviews; 65 fieldworkers visited personally their alloted area, choose a suitable informant, and using a 285 item ques‑
tionnaire (when necessary also 88 pictures), asked questions following a determined phra‑
seology. As a rule, only one informant was
chosen for each of the 2400 localities covered by the survey.The aim of the survey was to record the personal speech used by the informant in familiar and daily surroundings. In some cases, the answer could be a dialectal form identical with the standard form. Note was
also taken of the dialectal forrns which were declared to be no longer in use, to be limited to special circumstances, to be archaic or to be recent innovations. In every case, care wastaken to note the exact pronunciation. The
following signs were used to show the reactions of the informant to the questioning:1 : answers laughing ? : shows some doubt : : shows some shame # : after some pause
* : corrects himself3. THE QUESTIONNAIRE
3.1. Types of questions
(1) AII the questions were written be‑
39
forehand, and the fieldworkers were instructed‑‑・
to avoid all modificztions in the phraseology.
Pictures and gestures were to be used as
prescribed. This was to assure the necessary uniformity in the responses, in spite of the great number of fieldworkers, 65 in all.Each question was supposed to elicit one single word or expression, as for instance:
question 70 : when you are tickled on the sole of the foot or under the armpit,
you have to Iaugh; what do you
. saytoexpressthisfeeling?
question 71 : when you fold your feet under ' yourselfwhensitting,likethis
'
' (showingapicture),whatdo
.・. .yousayyouaredoing? .
During the questioning, no suggestions
were allowed of the standard language answ.er or of the dialect forms. Our survey could not use the translation technique for two reasons:first, as a result of the Japanese educational system, most speakers are bilingual, using the standard language or their dialect according tQ the situation; second, the standard language and a dialect may have the same linguistic form, with a different semantic range; for instance, aza (birthmark) and hokuro (mole) are called by identical names in some districts, while in others birthmark is hoyake and mole is called
aza. It would never do in this case tQ ask
simply for "the local name for aza".(2) TheS‑questions. Besides thenormal
questions described above, some other form of questioning was chosen to investigate semantic problems. In the case of 43 items, ・marked inthe questionnaire with the letter S (=se‑
mantic), the fieldworker furnished a Iinguistic
form and asked the informant to give its meaning. Here two different kinds can be 4e
. ./.gi.s.gip"guished, as is made clear by the following
examples:
que.stlgp 141 S : when one.says "the niwa of ..,,.,.,,,.,tbe house", which part is meant? .
(Thifi 'tYpe gl'question furnishes the word and
asksforits,mg4ping・) ..‑
question 142 S : speaking of the doma, name‑
ly the unfloored part of the hguse, do you use the word nzwa ?
(This type of question furnishes the meaning, and asks whether a given word is used.)
・ (3) A third type of question is the one presenting a choice to the informant. This was done to ascertain the 'range of some standard language expressions. These ques‑
tions, five in all, have a C (=choice) attached.
Hereis'anexample:・' .・ ,'
question 253 C : when you・eat something that
・ pleasesyou,doyou・say
・・・.・'' ・ "oisii", or ̀̀umai", or do you
・. ・./'useanotherword?
'
(;oisii'is'the・standardfor"tasty".) , 1' (4) Finallyacertainnumberofquestions
w'ere meant td ascertain some phonetic charac‑teristicsL The question was put in the s・ame way 'as in. the' first type above, 'but as lexical uni‑
fotmity was known to exist, .the aim was the
phonetic aspects of the answer. As an
example:'' ,' ..
/t
question. 260 ・: this part of the body (showin.cr
'''' thewholeback)iscalled....?
(The word for back is senaha, with different degrees of palatalization of the initial s‑).
3.2. Surveys done in common
'・ To' assure a greater uniformity in the
questioning, one of the members of the direct‑ing dialect bureau from T6ky6, accompanied

nique of selecting an informant and the
method of questioning was then demonstrated.As a result no less tban 221 localities were surveyed by Qne.of the directors. Since these
