観智院本類聚名義抄による日本語の史的研究
このセクションでは、観智院本類聚名義抄を用いた日本語史研究を行う。名義抄の解読過程で得られた知見に基づき、本文解読の誤りを訂正し、精度向上を目指す。特に和訓を中心に検討しつつ、漢字音の問題も扱う。
和訓は日本語の語彙史・音韻史における貴重な資料であり、反切・類音注・仮名注・声点などの音注は日本漢字音史の重要な資料として、多くの研究が蓄積されてきた。本研究が、新たな分析の視点を提供する一助となれば幸いである。
事例研究として次のトピックを取り上げる。順次、内容を追加してゆく予定である。
Historical Research on Japanese: A Case Study of the Kanchi-in Manuscript of the Ruiju Myōgishō
This section presents historical research on Japanese using the Kanchi-in manuscript of the Ruiju Myōgishō. Based on the knowledge obtained during the process of deciphering the Myōgishō, we aim to correct errors in the textual interpretation and improve its accuracy. While particularly focusing on the issue of wakun (Japanese glosses), we also address the issue of kanji (Chinese character) readings.
Wakun is a valuable resource for the vocabulary and phonological history of Japanese, and phonetic notations such as fanqie (反切), similar sound glosses (類音注), kana glosses (仮名注), and shōten (声点) are important resources for the history of Japanese kanji readings, with a significant body of research accumulated to date. It is our hope that this research will contribute to providing new analytical perspectives.
The following topics will be addressed as case studies. We plan to add content sequentially.
Note on Terminology:
- I have kept the Japanese terms wakun and kanji as they are, as they are commonly used in academic contexts related to Japanese linguistics. I have also provided brief explanations in parentheses.
- For the phonetic notations, I have provided the Japanese terms along with their English equivalents where applicable, for clarity.
