| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study was to rethink the tendency toward "result-orientation" of English and “process-orientation” of Japanese. We comprehensively examined the orientedness, which has often been discussed mainly on the lexical level, based on detailed analyses of cultural constructions besides language and on various language phenomena such as lexical, phrase, sentence, and discourse levels. The research results support the traditional views of all the levels. However, on the lexical level, we encountered several examples that had ambiguous interpretations and concluded that it is plausible that whether or not a lexical item can be interpreted as a “result” is explained in terms of metonymy.
