天草本『平家物語』의 謙讓語 考察 -覚一本과의 대조를 중심으로-

Abstract

This study contrasts the transition phase of honorific words, semantic analysis ofhonorific words, and changes of the narrative(katarite) treating between ‘HeikeMonogatari’ Kakuichibon and ‘Heike Monogatari’ Amakusabon . Following are theresult of the study. First is the reason for the substitution and addition of the honorific words inAmakusabon.The substitution occurs when ⅰ. the replacement of the old type ofhonorific words which are no longer use, and ⅱ. as the contents of Kakuichibonwere included into the Amakusabon, substitution was undergoing to use varioushonorific words in one sentence. Reasons for the addition are that: ⅰ. even thoughthe Amakusabon had the similar gist with the Kakuichibon, the Amakusabon hadits own type of honorific words, which reflects the listener named ‘Umanozyun’,and ⅱ. as the politeness for the subject changed into the politeness for the object,the honorific words were added. Second, there was no difference between the two versions. Therefore, the semanticanalysis was conducted based on the 340 examples of the Amakusabon. As a result,it was revealed that object-raising expressions were 172 items(50.5%), subject-loweringexpressions were 148 items(43.5%), and self-raising expressions were 20 items(6%). Third is the analysis of narrative’s treating between the Kakuichibon and theAmakusabon. ⅰ. When the agents of the two motions, the former agent’s politenesswas omitted and honorific words were represented for the later motion. On thecontrary with that the Amakusabon lacks the honorific words because it shows thedifferent form of explanation of circumstances. ⅱ. the honorific words are addedin the Amakudabon. It is because the speaker lowers himself by adding honorificwords when object and listner is the same person.
