Abstract

This is a study on the value of Chophae shino as a material for linguistic study focusing on its linguistic characteristics and status (including abuse of dialect). As mentioned in the previous study, the status of Chophae shino in linguistic terms can be considered from 3 main aspects: (1) the influence of Kyushu dialect (2) Kyoto dialect (3) misuse by the interference of the mother tongue and incompetence in Japanese language Each aspect has enough probability. But concerning (3) misuse by the interference of the mother tongue (of the author) and incompetence in Japanese language, there seemed to be a need for a more sociolinguistic approach and accordingly such an approach was tried in this study. First of all, the Japanese version has 「kureru」and 「kutasaru」which have been revised from the original 「yaru」and 「yarasiraru」as in the example 1 and example 2. There are many cases of 「～(a)si ‘sasi’ raru」format, which is also a very rare format in the writing at that time. But examples of these features are found in Hirano (1964) and modern dialects (Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto). The Korean version has similar tendency to that of the Japanese version. One example is the case of「-Siso」(uniting ending) for request and describing) and noun indication . The published version has as many as 11 times of 「-Siso」form. Tae-young Lee (1997) points out that it is a characteristic of ‘Southeast dialect (of Korea)’. And Now that a long time has passed, there are is definite material in both the Korean and Japanese languages to provide a reliable definition. It is not known up to now in which place of Japan the author had served his sentence. The only thing we can do is to presume that the author might have stayed in areas in which Kyushu dialect is spoken (especially Fukuoka and Saga). It is unfortunate that the limitations of data prevent further discussion. More research may be needed on this subject as well as on linguistic phenomena unidentified so far.
