ゼロベースで辞書を作る途方もない物語。まず何をすればいい？【辞書物語-日国2】#197

This is the second installment of our Dictionary Stories series, "Nihonkoku." We follow the process of creating the "Kokugaku" (Great Japanese Language Dictionary), starting with topics like "The Family of Dictionary Superhumans Who Always Miss Each Other," "The Value of Having a Job to Dedicate Your Life to," and "What's the First Thing to Do When Compiling a Dictionary?" [Table of Contents] 00:00 A recap of the previous installment: The Great Japanese Language Dictionary was created by Yujiro. 01:32 This time, we'll be looking at the story of Eiichi, the son of Ki. 04:01 What kind of person was Eiichi? 07:58 The Matsui family's misunderstandings and what Eiichi inherited. 11:42 Is it possible to balance teaching and research? 14:12 Which of the 50 syllables was the most difficult to compile? 18:49 I've read the entire Nichikoku dictionary, and I read too fast. 20:54 Konno-sensei's reading style is the same as Monster Hunter. 22:32 The value of having a job to bet your life on. 28:21 What's the first thing you do when compiling a dictionary? 34:29 The philosophy behind Nichikoku and the Daisu series is the same. 39:22 Outsourcing issues also exist in dictionary compilation. 44:28 The Nichikoku series may end unfinished.
