| Research Abstract |
The following research aims to reveal the grammatical characteristics of the attributive form of verbs and adjectives in Old Japanese by conducting an analysis of the functions of both the conjugational system itself and the attributive form in Old Japanese. In Heian Era Japanese, the main function of the attributive form is to modify a noun or to create a quasi-nominal phrase. The kakarimusubi prevalent in Old Japanese is almost identical in function to "noda" (a common copula found in Modern Japanese expressing scope) in the sense that the attributive form found in the kakarimusubi forms a quasi-nominal phrase. In addition, the gikanjutsuho (psuedo-exclamatory function) expressed by the attributive form can also be said to form a quasi-nominal phrase. As the attributive form loses its function to form quasi-nominal phrases after the Heian Era, the attributive form becomes analogous with the terminal form and the kakarimusubi fades out of usage.
