• This is second in a series of studies on vowel shifts in Japanese and other languages to be conducted in the next few years. Based upon the findings of American English and of Japanese, we tentatively hypothesize that the tendency among adolescents to articulate vowels farther forward in the mouth is a language-universal phenomenon for the moment. And we are in the process of collecting a larger sample of Japanese data from 400 Miyazaki residents, since the data on which the hypothesis is based is limited both in number and methodology. We will not only test our hypothesis, but we will also examine the dialect-specific vowel rotation patterns of Miyazaki as a whole. Furthermore, we are also planning to gather data from residents of large cities such as Osaka and Tokyo in the next few years.
