Review #24 | Natural Japanese Corpus | Learn Japanese For Free

This review is for NINJAL's (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics here/hereinafter NINJAL) Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese. I would recommend it for advanced learners. A linguistics corpus, the empirical study of languages but database, is used in English language studies of Japanese words to study the language

What

This is a giant list of words and the bits that make up the words.

Why do you need a giant dictionary? For when you want to look up things in books in your reading journey but dont know where to start because the standard ones are meh. Socio-linguistics (how people use language in culture for our purposes) also touches on what is called the context-sensitive or syntagmatic processes that Japanese uses such as the distinction of Ma's (  | Empty space ) many definitions in English, tatoeba. Lol.

Linguistics What

A very useful tool which we all know is ripe for sociolinguistics learning about Japanese culture, sociopsychology if you below in that pseudo-science, natural language and the beginning stage of national databases for these matters. Not subscribed myself, but I am a part time unpaid cataloguer not a researcher so blegh.

Where

Online at https://clrd.ninjal.ac.jp/csj/en/ 


Who

NINJAL - National Institute of Japanese Language and Linguistics

NICT - National Institute of Information and Communications Technology

Tokyo Institute of Technology (Nowadays Science Tokyo because they merged some older universities together and screwed over a bunch of research students so boooo.)


When

Available if you have internet.

Why

Becuase it as interesting forays into the linguistical considerations of learning, ie studying a languages sociolinguistics systems which may help with your enunciation depending on which language you are coming from into Japanese.

This can be useful in areas such as lexicography, natural language models, phonology, science, sociology, educational materials, cultural and historical material studies.
