Chapters citing this source

Sentences of the first edition citing this source

1. The unambiguity of c rests on a phonological fact: Hokkaido Ainu has no contrast between a palatal and a non-palatal affricate, so a single letter covers the full distribution of the phoneme without risk of collision with other segments . no page The Latin Phonemic Transcription
2. Native-speaker writing, from Chiri Yukie to the Ainu kana orthographies documented by Kirikae and Nakagawa , does not write ca cu ce with contracted kana (チャ チュ チェ) but with the straight syllabary forms. no page The Latin Phonemic Transcription
3. Kirikae attributes this to the absence of any phonological contrast between a palatal and non-palatal series in Ainu: the affricate is uniformly palato-alveolar regardless of the following vowel, and the kana typography that distinguishes large from small character would imply a distinction that Ainu phonology does not make ‹speculative›. no page The Latin Phonemic Transcription
4. This practice conflicted with the writing habits of Ainu speakers themselves, who transcribed /c/ without the contracted syllable convention: Kirikae documents that writers such as Sunazawa, Yamamoto, and Nabewasawa consistently avoided yōon for /c/ , and Nakagawa interprets this uniformity as reflecting a shared native-speaker phonological intuition . no page Katakana Orthography and the Extended Small-Kana Codas
5. Coda consonants in this framework were typically indicated by writing the following syllable's onset kana in the same position or were left unmarked, producing representations that obscured syllable structure . no page Katakana Orthography and the Extended Small-Kana Codas
6. Kirikae documents writing practices that predate the Unicode standardization, including variant assignments for individual coda positions . no page Katakana Orthography and the Extended Small-Kana Codas
7. The affricate phoneme is written c, not ch; the fricative phoneme s, not sh — a normalisation reflecting the absence of a palatal-vs-non-palatal phonemic contrast and now standard in scholarly and community usage ; ; community discussion (nukopoli, aynu-corpora Discord, 2023) . no page Cyrillic and Multi-Script Rendering
8. Native-speaker writers and the major descriptive grammars converge on this choice: Kirikae's survey of Ainu-authored orthographic practice shows that speakers who wrote their language themselves consistently avoided the yōon spellings . no page Cyrillic and Multi-Script Rendering
9. Batchelor wrote ch for the affricate and sh for the palatalized sibilant, on the model of the Hepburn values for Japanese, and until phonemic transcription displaced it this style was the ordinary way of romanizing Ainu ; ; . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
10. Chiri Yukie's アイヌ神謡集 , the collection of divine epics that became the model for later Ainu-authored writing, is likewise written in a Hepburn-style orthography, and Kirikae judges the romanization of both women to be a direct continuation of Batchelor's practice, nurtured by his publications and by the aunt–niece connection between them ‹consensus›. no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
11. On the academic side the same conventions passed to Kindaichi Kyōsuke and his students; Kubodera Itsuhiko retained the Hepburn style throughout his career ; . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
12. The table gathers the correspondences; the subsections below document each group from the published comparisons — Kirikae , Nakagawa's orthographic surveys ; , and the Sakaguchi–Watanabe re-edition of Batchelor's 1924 Ainu Fireside Stories — and from the 1897 New Testament . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
13. The digraphs ch and sh continue the Hepburn values for Japanese and carry no contrast in Ainu, which has a single affricate and a single sibilant phoneme; Nakagawa's correspondence table for the Hepburn style pairs shik with and achapo with ; . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
14. In Batchelor's hands the voiced spellings are unstable: the dictionary enters both arage and arake as headwords for what is one word, modern . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
15. The most consequential deviation is the paragogic vowel written after closed syllables, above all after /r/: Batchelor's dictionary has koro, kara, mokoro where the modern standard writes , , ; . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
16. Phonetically the flap [ɾ] releases into a short vocalic offglide echoing the preceding vowel, and Kirikae locates the error in taking that offglide for an intended vowel . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
17. Kindaichi's testimony, quoted by Kirikae, is that Yukie owned the second edition of Batchelor's dictionary and had gone through it erasing the final vowels of the koro-type entries one by one; Kirikae traces today's arke-type spellings to her practice . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
18. Before the change, Kindaichi analysed the verb of inkar’an awa 'when I looked' as a lemma inkara whose final syllable lost its vowel before the person marker, and wrote an apostrophe as the elision mark — a notation that survives throughout Batchelor's own texts (next subsection) . no page Historical Orthographies and the Batchelor Tradition
19. Community and native-speaker orthographic practices across the twentieth century, including the tension between academic romanization and community-developed writing styles, are surveyed in and . no page Orthographic Standardization and the Word-Division Problem
