小笠原、在来島民の言語と行為

米国統治下及び返還時の言語教育を中心として

抄録

One peculiarity in Ogasawara is the people who have lived since the histroy of Ogasawara began. They are not Japanese-Japanese (mainly Europeans or Americans) and have suffered from the World war. Not only the war itself but also the change of the ruler gives them their own history. In this paper, I intend to present a feature of their language and the education they have taken. I also try to describe how and why they took theer course under the circurmstance. In conclusion, for them, the maintaining peace and order to live together in a small island is the matter of supreme importance, and those who failed to adjust themself to new environments had to leave for the new country, which had given them the education in their childfood.
