Abstract

Even if any sentence having an equivalent meaning, but it differs in its expression type, so an expresser (speaker/writer) selects the most proper method of many possible expression types and express that. Due to the expresser’s selection of an expression type, the difference of expression structure occurs. The difference of expression structure accompanies a syntactic, semantic difference, furthermore, it accompanies difference in pragmatic difference as well. Considerate expression indicated in linguistic activity appears in various forms and methods, recent studies focus on the pragmatic field. This article tried to analyze and consider correlation in difference of expression structure and considerate meaning on the premise that ‘considerate expression’ can be reflected at the expression structure of a sentence from a different viewpoint. As a result of analyzing a phase considerate expression is contained to the expression structure of grammatic category called Voice and Modality, it was clarified that in Voice, considerate expression is contained when Marked Forms such as 「(1) passive sentence, (2) transitive verb: intransitive sentence, (3) practicable sentence, (4) giving, receipt, assistant verb sentence」 is supported by context. Also it was clarified that in Modality, considerate expression is contained when forms like 「う/だろう/と思う/かもしれない/ようだ」 and 「ませんか/たいと思う」 act as Marked forms and has circumstantial conditions.
