| Research Abstract |
With respect to expressions denoting degree of difficulty, I examined expressions with auxiliary adjectives based on my previous research from the viewpoint of diachronic change. Through the examination, I described the direction and types of their semantic change and pointed out asymmetrical relations between expressions of difficulty and those of easiness. With respect to denoting ability, I made detailed observations on expressions with auxiliary verbs such as “ahe-zu” or “yara-zu” based on previous studies. I also maintained that expressions of anxiety are derived from those of ability and overviewed the diachronic development of them.
