本稿は日本語の逆接仮定条件を表す命令文（譲歩命令文）のうち、中世の終わりまでに成立したとされる、動詞「する」を用いるタイプの成立過程を構文文法の視点から分析する。構文化におけるチャンク化の意義を踏まえ、「する」の命令形が「もせよ」というチャンクを形成する条件や過程を詳細に検討し、「する」を３つに分類した上で、「もせよ」成立に重要な役割を果たしたのは、名詞や漢語と結びついて動詞を作る補助用法の「する」であると論じる。そしてその成立時期を説明する間接的証拠として、「する」の造語力を高めた中世の漢語の増大との関連を指摘する。, This paper investigates the constructional expansion of the concessive imperative, or the emergence of the type involving the verb suru 'do' in Late Middle Japanese (13C-16C) in the framework of Diachronic Construction Grammar. The proposal is built on the combination of in-depth morphological analyses of the constituents and the theoretical concept of chunking. The key to elucidating the process resides in the multiplicity of the profile of the sequence mo-seyo; The same syntagmatic sequence may be of different grammatical characters, in terms of the type of suru and the degree of chunking. It is claimed that the increased use of mo-seyo of the type attached to a noun or a Sino-Japanese word (kango) facilitated the chunking, leading to the constructional expansion. The analysis also suggests possible interactions between constructionalization and sociolinguistically-induced changes in the vocabulary of LMJ., 林以知郎先生 Leo J.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of speech rate on chunking in listening comprehension of Chinese native speakers who learn Japanese as a second language. In the experiment, 18 advanced Japanese learners performed the semantic coincidence judgment and click sound detection tasks, where the speech rate of Japanese utterance and the position of extraneous sound (click sound) appearing in the sentence were manipulated. As a result, it was found that high speech rate has an inhibitory effect on the detection of click sound in perceptual sense unit (PSU), and an accelerating effect on semantic analysis. In the low speech rate condition, the accuracy of click detection did not diff er depending on whether the click sound was inside or outside the PSU, but the meaning understanding was lowered compared with the high rate condition. It is demonstrated that the chunking process is dependent of the speech rate of utterance, and is realized in the speech rate, which almost matches the rhythm range of ordinary Japanese utterance. This indicates the development of L2 phoneme system stored in the long-term memory and activation of the related prosodic pattern.

本稿は日本語の順接・逆接仮定条件を表わす命令文を取り上げ、それを意味変化の方向性仮説の反例とする先行研究への反論を試みると共に、通時的構文文法による分析を提案する。特に、「命令から条件」への変化だけでは本質を捉えられず、「命令文と後続文の間に推意として存在した条件という論理関係のコード化」と考えるべきこと、そして、意味に加え、形式の慣習化を考慮することにより、構文化過程を明らかにできると論じる。, This paper explores the conditional/concessive imperatives in Japanese to refute the claim that they present counterevidence to Traugott's model of semantic change, and to propose a construction grammar account of their development. Since the constructions consist of an imperative clause and another clause, functioning as a protasis and an apodosis, previous studies have focused on how the conditional meaning derives from the directive. However, given that a construction is a conventionalized pair of form and meaning, semantics alone cannot capture the whole story. This paper identifies the possible onset of the constructionalization, where the sequence is routinized and chunked together., 龍城正明先生 秋篠憲一先生 中井悟先生 斉藤延喜先生 御退職記念号, Specially dedicated to Professor Masaaki Tatsuki, Professor Ken'ichi Akishino, Professor Satoru Nakai, and Professor Nobuyoshi Saito on their retirement, 論文(Article)
