일본어 감정표현에 관한 연구 –‘좋음’과 ‘싦음’을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study has examined the types of emotional utterance in the Japanese language such as ‘like’ and ‘dislike’. The results of the study are as follows. The study shows that the types of emotional utterance of ‘like’ are classified into ‘the expression with emotive words’, ‘the emotional expression with emotive verbs’, ‘the explanation of reasons’, and ‘the request for consent’. It also shows that ‘the expression with emotive words’ is the most frequently used type of utterance. The study further shows that the speaker prefers to use emotional words or emotive verbs to express emotions to the partner. The survey of the classification of the uses of the types of utterance shows that the speakers frequently use singular type of utterance, preferring the singular type of utterance to the plural type. And the study shows that of all the types of utterance, the plural type of utterance characteristically shows a totally different type of utterance ahead of ‘the emotional expression with emotive words’. The types of utterance about ‘dislike’ could be classified into ‘the emotional expression with emotive words’, ‘the explanation of reasons’, and ‘the request for prohibition’. As for the use of the different types of utterance, ‘the emotional expression with emotive words’ is the most frequently used, followed by ‘the explanation of reasons’ and ‘the request for consent’. As for ‘dislike’, most speakers use ‘the emotional expression with emotive words’ to express their emotions while others resort to ‘the explanation of reasons’. The study shows that the speakers express most of their emotions by using the two types of utterance. The classification of the uses of the types of utterance shows that the speakers use ‘the emotional expression with emotive words’ of all the singular types of utterance, which is followed by ’the request for prohibition’, and that the plural types of utterance take up a larger portion than the plural types of utterance. The types of utterance about ‘dislike; characteristically include more of the plural types of utterance than of the singular types of utterance. It suggests that the speakers prefer the plural type of utterance to the singular type of emotional expression. The study also shows that of all the types of utterance, the plural type of utterance characteristically includes different types of utterance before or after ‘the direct emotional expression’.
