II.1.9 Index to the Dialects of the Linguistic Atlas
of Japan
(Source 11, 1980. 365 pages)
In this book, linguistic forms from the approximately 30,000
entries which appear as common examples in the Linguistic Atlas
of Japan (6 volumes, published 1961-1969) are listed in
alphabetic order in romanization. Each form is listed with the
respective title and number of the map in which it appeared.
This book also can be used as a dialect dictionary arranged
in alphabetical order with respect to semantic area. It is
particularly useful for quick access to cross references of forms
which appear on a multiple of maps of different semantic areas.
(For example, the form BERO can be found on the maps for
KUTIBIRU, 'lips'; SITA, 'tongue'; TUBA, 'spit'; YODARE,
'drool'; AKA, 'dead skin'; TOSAKA, 'cockscomb.') Note,
however, it is necessary to look up each word in the Linguistic
Atlas of Japan in order to find out the region in which it is
used.
SIRASAWA Hiroe directed the operations involved in the
editing of this book.
