「申さる」에 관한 史的 考察10) -中古․ 中世의 物語를 중심으로-

Abstract

“Mousu” in a modern language is strongly known in standard as the honorific word but results of researches have been continually announced that it also has the meanings of main operation and operation object. Further, “Mousareru” is treated as a respect to the subject of the movement as well. This paper relates to the usage of respect of the subject of the movement of the modern word “Mousareu” and analyzes around the 233 examples of situations and subjects of the usage for “Mousaru” that has been extracted from 7 types of “Monogatari” that was classic in the Heian-Period and the Middle Ages where the first usage example of “Mousaru” appeared. The result of discussion is as follows. “Mousaru” that was used in “Monogatari” of the Heian-Period and the Middle Ages have been showing an overwhelming figure of 82% and 91% respectfully to the determining usage that proves where “Mousaru” pays respect for both the action object and the subject of the movement. However, similar to the modern word, an example that can be determined as a respect toward the subject of the movement was 12% and 8 % respectfully. Specifically, “Monogatari” of the Heian -Period where “Mousaru” is used in a situation where the subject of the movement is a listener and the upper person compared to the narrator was able to be determined as a respect for the subject of the movement. Additionally, when the subject, the action object is not clear or when the action object is an object, the “Mousaru” can be determined to be used as a respect for the subject of the movement. Lastly, the example of “Mousaru” used passively was 6% and 1% respectively. In such case, “Mousu” represents a respect for the audience as polite word “say” while the auxiliary verb “Ru” is considered to have a passive meaning.
