Outline of Final Research Achievements

What are the linguistic difference between Latin and Old High German (OHG) in a bible translation from Latin to OHG? This study shows there to be differences in the use of the subjunctive. This linguistic element was found to appear more often in OHG. Furthermore, in contrast to Latin, in OHG the subjunctive appears in most cases without modalities.
In this paper, the reason why the subjunctive in subordinate clauses appears with or without modalities is explored. Moreover, the study shows that the points at which modalisation is used with the subjunctive are different from the Latin original. This paper provides an insight into a controversial topic among scholars in the field, modalisation by the subjunctive in OHG.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ラテン語と古高ドイツ語のテクストを精査すると、法(Modus)の一致・不一致が散見される。古高ドイツ語において頻繁に現れる接続法は、形の上ではなるほど接続法だが、意味の上では直説法と何ら変わらない。ごく稀にモダリテートを伴った接続法が現れるが、この箇所こそが言語学的観点から見れば、両言語間に存在する違いであることを指摘し、オリジナル言語の内容を正確に表現することが求められる聖書翻訳の歴史に一石を投じた。
