Headline Database of Newspaper Articles relating to Japanese Language
The National Institute for Japanese Language has been making a collection of newspaper clippings since 1949.
We cut out newspaper articles related to the Japanese language and have arranged them in bound volumes.Since 1949, a wide range of articles on Japanese writing, phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, dialects, linguistic life and the Japanese language in general have been collected.
The collection includes the morning and evening editions of nationally circulated newspapers (Asahi, Mainichi, Yomiuri, etc.) and local newspapers (Tokyo, Nishi Nihon, Hokkaido, etc.).Since May, 1989, the subject of collection has been limited to the three national newspapers (Asahi, Mainichi, and Yomiuri).
The number of newspaper articles collected between 1949 and 2004 is over 127, 000 and approximately 4,000 articles are collected and subsequently added to the archives every year.
Searchable, basic information on each article (date of issue, name of newspaper, headlines) is available on the gHeadline Database of Newspaper Articles relating to the Japanese language" since 2002.
