| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research project is to explore the semantic diversity of adverbial modification construction (AMC) with lexical semantic approach. During the research period, I exemplified the following. First, the adverbial “akaku” (redly) modifies not only COLOR, but also OUTER-SURFACE in the “Akaku V” construction, which makes “to swell red” grammatical. Second, among Japanese as Second Language learners, the degree reading of AMC has a significantly lower score than the other readings although this degree reading appears in the corpora most frequently. Third, the adjectives of material property such as “okiku” (big) have the degree reading that was hardly observed in the previous literatures. Fourth, Japanese resultative construction and AMC share the common semantic function called “further-specification.” This constructional function motivates the diverse readings of ACM. The results of this study would encourage further research on the cross-semantic phenomena of ACM.
