効力を表す「～テアル」構文と パーフェクトの「～テイル」構文とのニュアンスの違いをめぐって

Abstract

In this paper, I examined the subtle difference between two sentences: the "tearu" that indicates "efficacy, " and the perfect "teiru" which can be replace the former. In addition, I looked into the causes of the nuance. The results are summarized as follows. [1] The "tearu" sentence of effect suggests "not only when the action is performed, but the content is properly transmitted and recognized". In contrast, the perfect "teiru" sentence implies paying attention to the action itself from the actor. [2] The "tearu" sentence of potency has the form of potency in which the meaning of "preparation" is more emphasized. However, in the case of the perfect “teiru" sentence, the meaning of "preparation" is weak, and therefore, often accompanied by a specific "adverb" in order to be convey the same meaning as the "tearu" sentence of effect. [3] Among the “tearu” sentence of efficacy, if the type is close to the syntax of passive structure, it is difficult to identify the actor, and it is easy to interpret it as an objective sentence. Meanwhile, in the case of the perfect “teiru” sentence, the actor can be readily identified, and thus it is recognized as a subjective sentence as opposed to the “tearu” sentence.
