To clarify accent variation in natural speech, this paper investigated the distributional pattern of the occurrence of compound accents (CA) using a Japanese Accent Dictionary (JAD) and the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ). Japanese is known to have CA assignment rules: in the case of noun-noun compounds, CA is assigned systematically according to the characteristics of the element nouns. Essential results obtained from JAD and CSJ analyses of CA show that the co-occurrence of unaccented pattern and antepenultimate accent is found in both JAD and CSJ. This variability might be brought about by a language shift in rule level, a higher level of the Japanese phonological system, rather than to individual lexical level.
