    Japanese, Nivkh language has suffix -gun which shows accordance between verb and subject. TAKAHASHI Moritaka pointed out some examples of accordance between verb and object in Poronaysk dialect of the Nivkh language in his work of 1932. This head-marking tendency may be an influence from Sakhalin dialect of the Ainu language.

    当初の研究計画では各年度毎にサハリン北部またはアムール川河口域での現地調査を予定していたが、当年度も引き続き世界的な新型コロナウイルス感染症の流行が終息せず、現地調査を行うことはできなかった。このため当年度は前年度までと同じく、研究代表者はサハリンおよび隣接地域の自然環境および自然環境利用文化等に関連する情報、リモートセンシングおよびGISに関連する技術的な情報に関して収集を続け、適切な分析手法等に関して検討を実施した。研究分担者はニヴフおよび近隣の先住民の伝統文化に関する情報についてそれぞれ情報収集を行い、分析手法等についての情報収集、検討を行った。
    自然環境に関しては、サハリンおよびアムール川河口域を含む東アジア地域に関して、植物相および植生のみでなく、これと密接に関わるさまざまな分類群の動物相およびその生態に関して情報を収集し、関連する知見を深めた。また、石狩平野を中心に、北海道内の湿原の植物相および生態系に関する現地調査を行った。文化に関しては当該地域の諸民族の動植物を含む自然環境利用文化、さらには言語や生活文化等、他の文化要素との関係等まで含めて広く情報を収集し、関連する知見を深めた。これらの目的のため、北海道を含む東アジア地域の動物相および生態系に関する図書など、関連する図書文献類を入手した。
    研究代表者が所属する北海道博物館において北海道と近隣地域の湿原の自然史とその人との関わり等について紹介する特別展「あっちこっち湿地 ～自然と歴史をめぐる旅～」を開催し、ニヴフ（特にサハリン・ニヴフ）の植物採集の場として最も重要な湿原の植物に関して焦点を絞って紹介した。その図録では、「サハリン先住民の暮らしを支えた湿原」というタイトルで、過去の調査の成果を含めてニヴフと湿原植物との関わりについて紹介した。関連講座「サハリンの湿地・鳥・人」において、さらに詳細な紹介を実施した。

  • Cross-boundary Studies of Rethinking of Global Studies from the Indigenous people's points of view
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    18 Jul. 2018 - 31 Mar. 2022
    Ikeda Mitsuho
    The social trends of the demand for the return of burial remains, the demand for improved cultural presentation in museums, and the demand for language and cultural education, all of which are being addressed by indigenous peoples around the world, were investigated. The results revealed the reality that the world's indigenous movements, while using common communication tools such as ICT, globalization has never caused homogenization of the world, but rather has transmitted to the entire world historical reflections on respect for cultural diversity and uniqueness. It is clear that nation-states have a responsibility to support the global networking of indigenous peoples in their territories and to work toward cooperation and reconciliation between indigenous peoples and nations. It is necessary to incorporate indigenous studies into public education to ensure linguistic and cultural diversity.

    We conducted fieldworks two times each in the Northern Sakhalin and the Khabarovsk region for interviews and investigation of the flora and vegetation. The characteristics of the Sakhalin Nivkh’s utilization of plant resources such as the importance of berries were organized.
    The particularity of the flora and vegetation of the north side area of Schmidt's Line, where the Sakhalin Nivkh traditionally inhabited, compared with the other area in the similar latitude, was found.
    Based on the above, we demonstrated that the stratum of sand brought by the Amur River causes the poor flora and vegetation of this area and this strongly influences the characteristics of the Nivkh’s utilization of plant resources.

    Multiple fieldwork trips to the Russian Far East (Khabarovsk, Nikolaevsk-na-Amure, Aleevka, Okha, Nekrasovka, Nogliki) resulted in obtaining the following recordings; i) daily conversations among speakers of Nivkh, especially speakers of the Amur dialect and the Shmidt dialect, ii) basic vocabulary, accent patterns in disyllabic roots and words around the flora and fauna. In total, we could obtain sound recordings from nearly twenty speakers.

  • Study on Language Contacts among Northern Peoples to Japan centering on Ainu from the Viewpoint of their Mingu
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2003 - 2006
    NAKAGAWA Hiroshi; SASAKI Toshikazu; TANGIKU Itsuji
    This research project tries to explore the situation and history of the language contacts of the northern peoples to Japan focusing on the Sakhalin Ainu, by seeing the distribution of the names of mingu and mingu itself. We think it is important that to consider the problems of language contact, we need not only to analyze language data but also to compare them to the historical relations drawn through the non-linguistic data such as material or cultural ones. Therefore, we investigated simultaneously the names, the form, the use, and the making process of the mingu, and from them we analyzed the mutual relation of a language side and a substance side together.
    As the result we made the databases of the mingu names as fundamental data. Since the field survey was already in the difficult situation about the Sakhalin Ainu, Tamura and Nakagawa made the database based on the materials of literature ("Result Report" 2.1). As results on field surveys, Tangiku made the database of Nivkh mingu vocabulary(2.2) and Nagasaki made the Yukagir one(2.3). On the other languages the vocabularies we could collect are still not enough to be constructed as proper databases, but as field reports, Li wrote about Hezhen instruments for tanning(3.3) and Taguchi wrote about Miao instruments for cooking (3.5).
    As analyses about language contacts, Nakagawa wrote a paper on the correlation of Japanese, Ainu(Hokkaido, Sakhalin and Kuril), Nivkh, and Tungusic languages around Ainu mingu name pasuy (3.1). Also Nakagawa analyzed the Li report above mentioned and wrote a paper (3.4), in which Nakagawa considered the reason why Ainu including Sakhalin has been hardly affected by the influence from the Heilungchiang coast peoples including Hezhen on the tanning instruments and their names, while it had reached to Sakhalin. In the Tangiku's paper (3.2), based on the database of 2.2, the mingu names of Nivkh are comprehensively examined, and the relation between them and those of surrounding languages is also analyzed in detail.
