    2018 年6 月18 日午前7 時58 分頃に発生した大阪府の北部地域を震源地とす る地震は,マグニチュード6.1,死者6 人,負傷者443 人という被害をもたらし た。国立民族学博物館は,震源地から西に約6 ㎞の位置にあったが,開館時間 前の発生であったため,館内での来館者,教職員,大学院生に被害はなかった。 しかし,建物自体は阪神・淡路大震災以来の地震被害となり,地震発生から9 月13 日まで約3 か月間の休館を余儀なくされた。  そこで本稿では,展示場と図書室に関連する施設と,展示場,図書室の3 つ の区域の復旧活動を改めて振り返りながら,地震発生直後の初動,被害状況の 把握のための調査と復旧計画の策定,復旧の活動を検証し,被災した博物館の 災害対応の在り方について考察する。その結果,本稿では,大阪北部地震によ る国立民族学博物館での復旧対応は,博物館が被災した場合の復旧,再開に向 けての基本的な活動となることを明らかにした。  このなかで,初動では,現場にいる教職員が現状を確認し,自らの判断で行 動するための危機管理マニュアルの重要性,復旧作業をより実効的におこなう ために,事務所掌を横断的に統括し,復旧業務を監修する組織作りの重要性を 指摘した。次に被害状況の把握では,各担当部局の報告の程度に差が出ないよ う,定型化されたフォームのなかで報告事項を取りまとめ,予算計画,復旧計 画を策定することの有効性を明らかにした。そして復旧活動では,作業監督者 は作業者の安全性を第一に考えることと,作業者の目にみえない疲労に留意し, しっかりと休憩時間を確保することの必要性を示した。An earthquake of magnitude 6.1, centered in the northern Osaka prefecture, occurred at 7:58 am on June 18, 2018. In its aftermath, 6 people lay dead and 443 injured. About 6 km west of the epicenter stands the National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka. Fortunately, no damage occurred to visitors, faculty, staff members, or graduate students at the museum because the earthquake occurred before opening hours. Nevertheless, the museum building was damaged for the first time since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. It was forced to close for about 3 months from the earthquake until September 13. With description of activities related to recovery in three areas (the exhibition halls, the library, and facilities related to both areas) this paper presents consideration of the disaster responses required for the damaged museum by verifying the initial movement immediately after the earthquake, a survey to ascertain the damage status, formulation of the recovery plan, and recovery activities. Results reported herein indicate that the countermeasures taken at the National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka after the Osaka Northern Earthquake will be basic activities for museums recovering from disaster and reopening their exhibitions. At the time of initial movements, the risk management manual was important for confirming the current situation for staff members who were in the field and who were taking actions at their own discretion. Furthermore, forming an organization to generalize administrative matters cooperatively and to supervise the recovery activities to carry out the activities more effectively was important. In addition, at the stage of assessing the damage status, it was effective to formulate a budget plan and a recovery plan by summarizing the report contents within the stylized form to avoid differences in the degree of reports by the respective departments in charge. Then, regarding recovery activities, the work supervisor initially needed to consider worker safety first, and to secure break times firmly while devoting attention to hidden fatigue.departmental bulletin pape

    The Decay and Reconstruction of Nominal Classes in Srinagar Burushaski

    There are four major nominal classes in the Burushaski language and all nouns are classified into the following groups according to their referents: human males, human females, concrete entities, and abstract entities. This paper demonstrates that the inherent noun classification system of the Burushaski variety spoken by the younger generation of immigrants in the Bota Raj colony in Srinagar is decaying and being reconstructed in an altered form. Noun classification systems are generally dynamic and may decline in number or even become lost altogether. Some languages have (partially) lost their classification systems through contact with other languages that have simpler noun classification systems or no classification systems at all. Some languages have neutralised previously distinct classes into a new class, decreasing the overall number of classes as a result. However, the Srinagar Burushaski of young people does not merely demonstrate the decay of nominal classes. Having initially lost the basis of categorisation for noun classification, they have since re-categorised all nouns, thereby avoiding incoherency in the nominal class system. As a result, the number of reconstructed nominal classes has increased to five: human males, human females, animals, concrete entities, and abstract entities. It is worth noting that no adjacent languages have a noun classification system that specifically distinguishes animals from others.ブルシャスキー語には4 つの主要な名詞クラスがある。全ての名詞類は,そ の指示対象の特性に合わせて,以下のグループのいずれかに属す:ヒト男性・ ヒト女性・具象物・抽象物。本稿では,インド側カシミールのスリナガル市ボ タ・ラージ地区で若者が話すブルシャスキー語において,その本来の名詞クラ ス体系が崩壊し,再建されていることを論じる。  名詞クラス体系は一般的に動的であり,既存のそれが変容する際には,クラ ス数が減少したり失われたりする方向に向かうとされる。言語によっては,よ り単純な体系の言語や,名詞クラス体系自体を持たないような言語との接触に よって,その体系を(部分的に)失って行ったと報告されている。  スリナガルの若者のブルシャスキー語は,名詞クラスの崩壊のみを示してい るわけではなく,一旦クラス範疇化の基準を見失った後,名詞クラス体系内の 整合性の解れを避ける形で,再範疇化が起こっている。その結果,再建された 体系ではクラスの数が5 つに増えた:ヒト男性・ヒト女性・動物・具象物・抽 象物。周辺にそういった,動物を他の範疇から区別するような名詞クラス体系 を持った言語が存在しないことも,注目に値する。departmental bulletin pape
