Research Abstract |
The purposes of this research are as follows: 1. Making a database of contemporary Japanese expressions useful for grammatical analysis. 2. Developing some new methods in descriptive Japanese grammar. The results of this research are as follows: 1. I have made a database of contemporary Japanese expressions with context, especially, conjunctives, compound particles, attributive clauses, sentence-end expressions, and citations. 2. First, I have looked up unsettled questions in preceding researches. Secondly, using the above database, I have analyzed numbers of such synonymic expressions as "to-mieru" and "rashii," "inner attributive clause" and "outer attributive clauses," "to-iu" and "te-iu," and so forth, adding further considerations on quotings and reported speechs. Through this research I have found some new viewpoints that should contribute to grammatical analysis in descriptive Japanese grammar.
