The Hachijo Language of Japan: Phonology and Historical Development ; 日本の八丈語：音韻と歴史的発展
|

Abstract:
Hachijōjima is a small Pacific island belonging to Japan and governed within the capital district of Tokyo. The language traditionally spoken on Hachijōjima, while clearly a member of the Japonic family, is significantly different from varieties of Japanese spoken, not only on the main islands of Japan, but also on the other six nearby Izu Islands with which it is conventionally grouped for geographic purposes. Although spoken in a very small region by a community that has probably never in history exceeded 10,000 speakers, eight dialects of this language have been identified. There are many elements of its grammar that resemble no other variety of Japanese, and its lexis is sufficiently different to have caused some scholars to declare it to be of “unknown origin”. Despite the lexical mystery, it is best known for grammatical similarities to the ancient dialects of Eastern Japan, as found recorded in eighth century CE poetry, and is generally agreed to be descended, at least in part, from those dialects. Like many rural, minority languages, it has no written tradition, and is usually written down in katakana or roman letters. While its differences have attracted a certain amount of attention to the Hachijō language since before the modernization of Japan in 1868, the amount of linguistic work done on it to date is modest (and virtually none published in any language other than Japanese). And though there is still much to be learned about it, the reality is that it is severely endangered, with few remaining fluent speakers, all of advanced age; children no longer grow up speaking it at home. Furthermore, there is little indication of interest on the part of younger islanders in their ancestral speech, and so its extinction is all but assured. In this dissertation, I attempt to advance the state of Hachijō scholarship in the areas of phonology and historical development by offering a phonemic analysis, a dialectological comparison of some basic Hachijō vocabulary with that of other regions around Japan, and an attempt at historical subgrouping of six of its own local dialects. I also offer a consideration of its status with respect to the national language, arguing based on facts of grammar and lexis that it is best considered a distinct, closely related language rather than a dialect of Japanese. ; Ph.D.
