東京学芸大学幕末から明治初期にかけて,西欧文化との接触や文明開化の影響によって数多くの新しい単語が生じた結果,日本語の語彙はその基本的な部分にまで大きな変動がもたらされた。この研究は,そのような語彙の中でも特に学術分野の専門用語の一般化の過程をとりあげ,現代の各種基本語彙表や,明治から現代までの雑誌・新聞・テレビなど各種メディアにおける変遷を主に計量的手法によって明らかにしようと試みたものである。その結果,一部の専門用語は基本語彙表や現代メディアの比較的高頻度の階級に見られるなど,現代日本語の中核の部分に深く浸透していることがわかった。このような学術漢語の一般化の現象は特に雑誌などでは,明治初期から急激に進行し,1900年前後には現代の様相の基礎が既に形成されていたと推定される。

I have undertaken extensive research with the aim of achieving an overview of historical changes in the vocabulary of Japanese with the introduction of new European concepts from the Meiji era (1868 - 1912) up to the present. Works of the philosopher Tetsujiro Inoue in the Meiji era are recently seen as important in the process of introducing and stabilizing such new words in modern Japanese. The present research focuses on how Inoue's studies in Europe influenced the style and format of the third edition of Tetsugaku Jii, a list of scholarly terms and one of Inoue's best-known works. He wrote of discussions with English, German and French professors in his diary, and we can trace his foreign language studies through his notebooks. He insisted in his speeches and in his autobiography that it is very important to study several foreign languages if you study in Europe. We conjecture that the multilingual style with English, German, French, Greek and Latin which Inoue employed in the third edition derived from his studies in Europe.

Language change is represented on a graph as a "slow-quick-quick-slow" S-curve. Fitting an S-curve model, language change data can be expected to summarize and analyse past trends and to predict future trends. This study discusses Piotrowski-Altmann's model and a model using a logistic curve, which are the major ones employed in the limited number of S-curve studies. We also discuss cases - a study of honorifics in Okazaki city, the standardization of modern Japanese in Tsuruoka city, and Chinese character words spreading in 19th and 20th century Japanese - which employ a multiple logistic regression with a multifactor approach. The requirements of an S-curve model for a study of language change are considered.
