Useful Resources for Japanese Linguistics Research and How to Use Them Effectively

Introduction

The study of Japanese linguistics requires the collection and analysis of examples of how words are used. The NDL Digital Collection, Next-Generation Digital Library, NDL Ngram Viewer are useful tools for finding such examples. We will also consider ways to improve the accuracy of your research using online tools provided by the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, such as a corpus that is specialized for linguistics.
The content of this video is based on a webinar "How to use sources of Japanese studies" that was given on February, 2023, by Dr. Okada Kazuhiro, part-time lecturer at Hokkai-Gakuen University.
