「高等遊民」の言語活動の研究 ―修辞表現の観点から漱石の三作品を中心に―

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm the reality of the language activities of a particular class of 'intelligent non employed' created in the modern period of Japan from the perspective of rhetorical expression in various Japanese studies by <Phase>. In this study, rhetorical techniques were treated as an analytical perspective by exploring the linguistic characteristics of the intelligent non employed (knowledge hierarchy) distinguished from the general employee. Finally, it was confirmed through 1:1 comparison and contrast with the general employee. We found the rhetorical techniques used by the intelligent non employed in Soseki Natsume's "Sorekara," "Higansugimade" and "Kokoro" works and analyzed and examined them based on research by Nouchi (2002, 2007), Lee․Yanagisawa (2014 and 2015) and Lee (2014). As a result, we checked the common rhetorical technique used by the intelligent non employed (3 people) and the characteristics of the technique, as well as the effect of expression. In other words, the intelligent non employed, a group of intellectuals, expressed their differentiation from the general employee through their rhetorical expressions. Therefore, I believe that this is a meaningful study that was able to confirm the actual state of language activities in the Meiji and Taisho eras the intelligent non employed through the three works of Soseki.
