| Research Abstract |
Historical documents and letters are important sources for studying the history of Japanese. However, few of them have been used for describing the history of Japanese. Literary documents have been attached more importance in it than non-literary documents like legal and political documents or letters. In this study I aimed to reveal new aspects of the history of Japanese through such non-literary sources. Medieval court documents issued by Kamakura Bakufu were the main source of this study. Most of the texts were written in Chinese characters, but modified with Japanese syntax and lexicon. They were carefully examined to investigate the influence of Japanese. Through this study I also considered the methodology to use historical documents and letters as a source of studyinghistory of Japanese.
