土田滋的臺灣南島語言資料

Tsuchida’s Materials on Formosan Languages

筆者去年（2022）11月4日至16日到日本東京外語大學亞非語言文化研究所查閱土田滋調查研究臺灣南島語言的資料：田野筆記，錄音檔、索引卡片等一百多件。據瞭解，該機構已經完成掃描工作並將上網提供查詢，因此有意轉讓那一批資料。我也已促成我們臺灣國家圖書館去接受。土田滋他本人已書面同意他的資料在臺灣會更有用處。若一切順利，國家圖書館有關臺灣南島語言調查研究資料的收藏將更趨完整。本人業已經決定捐贈所有研究資料給國家圖書館。
土田滋有各種臺灣南島語言及其主要方言的錄音檔，包括詞彙、文本、歌謠，極為珍貴。土田滋的錄音資料比我的更完整。他的田野筆記具有很多優點，確實可以彌補我的不足。何況他比我早八年就開始調查研究臺灣南島語言了。
除此以外，我跟該機構負責人洽談，如果一切順利，日治時代小川尚義和淺井惠倫的臺灣南島語言資料可望將來他們也全部轉讓給國圖收藏。如若如此，國圖將擁有有史以來全世界最完整的臺灣南島語言調查研究資料了。
小川、淺井、土田、李壬癸都是曾經調查研究各種臺灣南島語言及其主要方言，並且做過全面性的調查研究工作。這一百多年來臺灣南島語言調查研究歷史資料幾乎將全部集中在此，深具學術特色。

Shigeru Tsuchida investigated extensively all Formosan languages and their major dialects from 1962 to 2013. His research materials included field notes, manuscripts, tape recordings of vocabulary, texts and songs, and index cards for vocabulary. All these materials were donated to the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS) in 2019. During my visit to TUFS in November 2022, I found out that upon Tsuchida’s consent, TUFS would be willing to turn over his materials to the National Library in Taiwan. TUFS has also kept Ogawa Naoyoshi and Asai Erin’s study materials on Formosan languages documented before World War II, which would also be turned over to the National Library. If all goes well, the National Library in Taiwan will have the best collection of research materials on Formosan language studies.
In this paper I listed Tsuchida’s tape recordings and field notes on Formosan languages that were donated to TUFS. The languages and dialects include Amis, Atayal, Bunun, Kanakanavu, Kavalan, Paiwan, Pazih, Puyuma, Rukai (Maga, Mantauran and Kocapongan dialects), Saaroa, Saisiyat, Seediq, Tsou (Duhtu dialect), extinct Western Plains languages (Taokas, Papora and Babuza), and Yami. A list of Tsuchida’s publications is also attached.
