II.6.7 Collection of Newspaper Clippings of Articles
Related to the Japanese Language ( 1950 - 1987 )
We cut out newspaper articles related to the Japanese
language and arranged them in a bound volume. Since March,
1949, a wide range of articles have been collected on the
Japanese language in general, Japanese writing, phonetics,
vocabulary, grammar, dialects, and linguistic life, problems
related to the Japanese language and the writing system,
Japanese language education, etc., from the morning and
evening editions of national newspapers ("Asahi,"
"Mainiti," "Yomiuri," "Nihon Keizai," etc.), regional
newspapers ("Tokyo," "Nisi Nihon," "Hokkaido," etc.), and weekly
publications ("Nihon Dokusyo Sinbun," "Syu~kan Dokusyozin,"
"Tosyo Sinbun," etc.). The number of newspaper
clippings, slightly under 600 in the first year (1950) has
increased to approximately 4,000 per year. These are stored in
the National Language Research Institute Library and are
available to researchers both inside and outside the Institute.
This research was directed by the office which is presently
called the Office for Information and Data and its
predecessors.
