Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I have performed discourse analysis of historic change of Japanese language communication mainly on classification of communication types and analysis of strategy of discourse in novels of Soseki Natsume. I wrote result at a research report "Discourse Analysis of Soseki's Novels and Consideration of Communication Types Based on his Theory of Literature" (April, 2017). The conclusion of this report is that the characteristic of the discourse in the Soseki's novels is incomplete communication. This incomplete communication of Soseki's novels had realized from the "F+f" theory which Soseki stated in "The Literary Criticism" (1907),and brought out various "f" (= feeling) including not only humor but also psychological tangle of human being.
