「の」を介する名詞修飾に関する考察 ー「名詞＋での＋名詞」構文を事例にー

Abstract

This study analyzed the usage of the 'noun+での+noun' structure, focusing on the co-occurrence of sentence components (subject, object, and predicate). In previous studies, it was pointed out that Japanese, compared to Korean, prefer to use the so-called noun structure. The 'noun+での+noun' structure is cited as a reason, but its usage has not been analyzed. In this study, an empirical analysis of the usage of ‘noun+での'noun+での+noun' used as a subject has a relatively strong co-occurrence, with predicates indicating the process of execution (30.27%), predicates indicating size and increase/decrease (19.35%), and predicates indicating existence and occurrence (17.08%). 'noun+での+noun' used as an object has a relatively strong co-occurrence with predicates indicating the process of execution (35.85%), predicates indicating perception and thinking (20.84%), and predicates indicating conveying messages and information (9.12%). And 'noun1+での+noun2' used as a predicate had relatively many cases (88.79%) indicating a situation or content preceded by noun2. Among the cases of noun 2, 'こと' was particularly frequent at 29.71%. This study also examined the modifiers of 'noun+での+noun'. Although there were relatively more cases related to time and space, we also identified a variety of other uses, such as attendant circumstances, scope, means, and contrast.
