Abstract

<p>Analysis of the results of the random sampling surveys for about 20 years on the Japanese language, conducted by NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute, total of 34 surveys [616 questions], from the perspective of educational background revealed that the responses of college-educated people tend to converge to a specific majority answer, and this means that homogeneity of language consciousness is relatively high. They also prefer to use Kanji, favor original phonetic sound of loan words when they write in Katakana, and showed the conservative reaction on “disturbance of words”.</p>
