『多情多恨』に於ける言文一致体について

Abstract

The movement on the Unification of Written and Spoken Language in Japan was started from 1866 by Maejima Raiho and continued during about 60 years by a lot of novelist, who have made efforts in order to accord with written and spoken language. Out of them, it is famous Futabade Ishimei’s [da], Yamada Bimyo’s [des], Ozaki Koyo’s [de a ru]. This article was studied and made clear a concrete figures of the unification of written and spoken language which was investigated and considered special features on the original or spoken sentences emphasized on the figure of [de a ru] completed in 『Tazyou Takon』written by Ozaki Koyo. The sentences were clasified and studied each other by a completed ending of [Iiowari] sentences and uncompleted [Iisasi]. The result is as follows, 1. IIiowari] sentence The honorific words that little used on explanatory sentences are frequently apeared on conversational sentences. On the negative expression, the word of [nai] is used by an overwhelming majority on conversational sentences even though the words of [nu] and [nai] are used scarcely the same on explanatory sentences. On the copula, It was used the word of [dearu] by an overwhelming majority on explanatory sentences and [da] on conversational sentences appeared honorific word also. Therefore, it seemd to be interpreted that the unification of written and spoken language system on negative and copula expression of [Iiowaribun] were not achieved. 2. [Iisasi] sentence The most original sentences were omitted copula, and conversational sentences also omitted verb. In particular, It is available to be supposed that the [Iisasi] sentence on original sentences were deep connected with choice of honorific words system. Therefore, it is also available to be supposed that the unification of written and spoken language system on the [Iisasi] sentences were not achieved. According to above statement, the use of honorific words system will be necessary to study in future because that is to be supposed specific character of original or conversational sentences.
