The Accent of Compound Nouns Ending in Three-Mora Elements in the Suzuka Dialect of Japanese (Mie Prefecture)

三重県鈴鹿市方言の後部3拍複合名詞のアクセント規則は、以下の通りである : 1. 高起式の場合、語末から数えて3拍目にアクセント核がおかれる(-3型)。2. 低起式の場合、語末から数えて3拍目にアクセント核がおかれるものと、語末から数えて2拍目にアクセント核がおかれる(-2型)ものに分かれる。後部要素単独のアクセント型や特殊モーラは-2型の出現に関与しない。2. は現代京都市方言の複合語アクセント規則とは異なっており、院政期京都方言の複合名詞アクセント規則が鈴鹿市方言において部分的に残存しているものと考えられる。The present author conducted fieldwork on the accent of the Suzuka dialect of Japanese in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, in the years 2008-2010. Based on the obtained data, the accent rules of compound nouns ending in three-mora elements in the Suzuka dialect can be summarized as follows: 1. In the high-onset (kouki-shiki) group, the kernel (the peak after which the pitch falls) falls on the antepenultimate mora (pattern -3). 2. In the low-onset (teiki-shiki) group, the kernel falls on the antepenultimate mora in some words, while it falls on the penultimate mora in the others (pattern -2). The accent of the last element and the special morae (Q, N etc.) therein do not affect the choice of the accent pattern of the compound nouns. Rule 2. is different from the rule of the Kyoto dialect and we argue that the rule of the Kyoto dialect in the Heian period is partially preserved in the Suzuka dialect.論文 Article
