일본어 감정표현 ‘안도’와 ‘두려움’에 관한 연구

Abstract

Among expressions of emotion in Japanese, the trends in usage of expressions to express relief and fear were analyzed by their utterance types. There are five types of utterances to express relief. As for usage by type of utterance,【Direct Expression of Emotio】 was at 73.2%, among which【Expression of Emotion through Emotional Languag】 was at staggering 63.8%, being the most preferred among speakers. It was followed by【Indirect Expression of Emotion】at 26.8%, among which【Explanation of Reasons】was at 19%,【Expression of Emotion through Interjectio】 was at 4.9%, 【Request of Confirmatio】 was at 4.3%, and【Description of Relief Emotio】 was at 3.5%. Because the emotion of relief is expressed after the anxiety or fear is eliminated and therefore easy to express to others, it is thought that the ratio of【Direct Expression of Emotion】 was the highest. There are four types of utterances to express fear. As for usage by type of utterance,【Direct Expression of Emotion】 was at 64.7%, among which【Expression of Emotion through Emotional Language】 was the highest at 62.7%, followed by “Indirect Expression of Emotion” at 35.3%. Among them,【Explanation of Reasons” was at 33.3%,【Expression of Emotion through Interjection】 was at 2.0%, and【Request for Confirmation】 was at 2.0%. The expression of fear was most staggeringly conducted through【Direct Expression of Emotion,】 indicating that Japanese speakers prefer to express emotions by directly using emotional language or interjections.
