This project follows the preceding projects performed since 1989, and aims, through the use of a newly developed computer system, to develop a large-scale linguistic atlas of Chinese dialects. The linguistic theoretical framework and the methodology referred to are those of linguistic geography, whose ultimate target is to disclose various aspects of linguistic changes.<br />(1)Construction of the PHD system<br />An XML based data accumulating and processing system, PHD (Project on Han Dialects), was developed and operated on our own server. It comprises and integrates the basic resources (data on localities and dialect materials), linguistic data (indicating Chinese characters, IPA etc.), and digital map data. Client applications were also developed to facilitate our work. This system enhanced to share information and resources and to achieve efficient team work via the intemet.<br />(2)Basic work<br />Supplementations and revision were made for the resources accumulated in the preced ing projects, then we input the linguistic data (especially IPA) for nearly 100 items (mostly lexical items).<br />(3)The drawing of the maps and their interpretation<br />Linguistic maps on about 80 items were drawn. The parameters selected for each map as well as the interpretation proposed by the author were discussed at the research meetings, and were also open for discussion on the forum set up on our site.<br />(4)Research output<br />A part of the output of this project was shown in the two research reports. Some of our findings were presented at various conferences held in and outside Japan.<br />(5)Others<br />We started a philological survey of some items related to folklore, and also started to stock basic data to get a better assessment of the linguistic affinity of various dialects by statistical methods. Next plans<br />(6)Next plans<br />Our research will go on at lelast for two years, until we complete the official publication of the linguistic maps and their interpretations.
