| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to investigate historical development of adversative conjunctions in modern Japanese. The main targets are conjunctions such as “soredaga” and “dakedo”, which are composed of a demonstrative, an affirmative auxiliary verb, and a conjunctive particle, and I investigated how their forms and functions changed in modern Japanese.
In addition, as a prerequisite for such analysis, it is important to examine how conjunctive particles were used. For that reason, I investigated how conjunctive particles were used in the modern Kamigata Japanese, and contrasted it with that in Edo / Tokyo Japanese in the late Edo era.
Furthermore, by using the corpus of modern Japanese which is being developed in recent years, I performed a study of literary styles with the conjunctive particles related to this research project as indicators.
