日本国立国语研究所的语言战略挑战

NINJAL's Challenge in Japanese Language Strategies

本文介绍了日本国立国语研究所在语言战略研究方面的成就与挑战。在简要描述国立国语研究所的历史背景之后,文章提出了国立国语研究所语言调查的两个关键概念:(1)随机抽样和定量方法;(2)穷尽性调查和社会分层。每个概念都通过具体案例进行了讨论。在此基础上,文章讨论了国立国语研究所的“外来词释义”项目的三个阶段:(1)对外来词实际使用情况的定量调查;(2)对外来词增长情况的社会调查评估;(3)对外来词释义的建议。最后,本文讨论了国立国语研究所研究成果的学术价值及其对语言战略研究的意义。

This paper introduces a research institution on Japanese linguistics called National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics(henceforth NINJAL)in Japan.After a brief description of the background history of NINJAL,this paper examined characteristics of this institution's research activities by raising two key notions:random sampling and quantitative approach,exhaustiveness and social stratification.Each was discussed with examples from NINJAL's projects on each notion.Based on this,this paper raised NINJAL's project on loanword paraphrase proposal,which is comprised of three phases:(1)quantitative survey of the actual loanwords use,(2)social survey to investigate assessment of the increase of the loanwords,(3)loanword paraphrase proposal.Lastly,this paper discusses the significance of NINJAL's achievement and its relevance to language strategy studies.
