概要

20世紀の言語学は基本的にソシュールのいわゆる「共時言語学」の探究が主流を占めていましたが、近年、理論言語学においても言語進化との関連で通時的なアプローチの重要性が認識され、認知言語学や社会言語学でも歴史言語学との連携が進むなど、「通時・歴史言語学」は21世紀の言語学においては個別のフィールドを越える大きな求心力を得て発展し続け、将来の期待も集めている分野です。

 

言語学の各主要分野の最新・最良・最大の研究便覧として声価を確立しているシリーズ The Wiley Blackwell Companions to Linguistics から、「統語論大全」「意味論大全」「形態論大全」に続いて、「通時・歴史言語学大全」も遂に完成しました。今日の代表的な研究者が150人以上も寄稿した本書は、音韻論、統語論、意味論、語用論といった言語学の主要分野を網羅するだけでなく、心理学、生物学、人類学、社会学といった関連分野の知見をも結びつけ、言語システムの変化・変異と社会・環境的要因の相互作用の諸相を、世界の多数の言語(手話を含む)の事例に基づき、詳説します。

 

21世紀の言語学において個別の分野を越える研究トレンドとなっている通時的なアプローチの最前線および全体像に対応する本書は、言語学全体で共有すべきレファレンスとして、広くおすすめできます。本書の収録明細・寄稿者リストもありますので、ご請求ください。

<特別記事> 「ワイリー・ブラックウェル版 通時・歴史言語学大全(全5巻)」 編者たちによる日本の読者のための解説(日本語との関連を中心に) 

 

In recent decades the field of linguistics has seen a remarkable surge of interest in historical and diachronic studies, positioning them at the very heart of both descriptive and theoretical linguistic research. Today, the exploration of how languages evolve over time is not just a niche pursuit, but is central to how linguists think about structure, change, and diversity across the world’s languages. DiaCom brings together a rich collection of linguistic data that focus on the historical development of specific linguistic phenomena across various languages, families, and regions. These comparative insights allow linguists to question established assumptions, test theoretical claims, and propose new ideas about how language works and changes over time. 

 

Within this wide-ranging perspective, Japanese and the Japonic language family occupy a uniquely important role. Thanks to the depth and precision of historical documentation available for Japanese — and, increasingly, for Ryukyuan languages — Japonic languages offer exceptionally valuable case studies for the study of language structure and change. Their well-attested internal developments provide fertile ground for comparison, theory-building, and critical reflection. As a result, Japanese and its sister languages appear prominently throughout the volume, across all domains of linguistic analysis. Readers with a special interest in Japanese will find much to explore. For example: 

 

  • Application of the comparative method to Japanese data to illuminate cross-linguistic reconstruction. 
  • Examples of lexical innovation in Japanese to examines sociocultural drivers of change. 
  • The role of Japanese in throwing light on asymmetries in syntactic developments in main and embedded clauses. 
  • The role of honorifics and epistemic expressions in processes of subjectification and intersubjectification  explored in detail using Japanese examples. 
  • A fascinating chapter on sign languages, which includes substantial reference to the Japanese Sign Language family. 

 

Overall, DiaCom showcases how Japanese and Japonic languages are central not just to understanding the linguistic history of East Asia, but to advancing the field of historical linguistics more broadly. For scholars and students interested in these languages, it offers a wealth of material and fresh perspectives grounded in solid empirical research.
