Abstract

This paper studies expressions of cause and reason such as “kara”, “node”, “dakeni”, “bakarini” and “tame(ni)”, focusing on the similarities and differences of syntactic functions, meanings, styles among these morphemes. In the analysis of their syntactic functional differences, the following elements are examined: ① emergence of a modal expression in the prefixing predicate ② acceptability of topic particle “wa” in the preceding constituent ③ acceptability of statement adverb in the preceding constituent ④existence of sentence-final limitations ⑤other syntactic characteristics(existence of suffixing delimitative particle, predicative and sentence-final particle usage) ⑥ grammatical positioning. In addition, the characteristic meanings and styles of the morphemes in question are as follows: Kara: Emphasizes the reason of the preceding clause. Mainly employed in informal settings expressing personal emotions in an indicative, straightforward manner. Node: Usually part of formal, literary expressions and employed in sentences with a euphemistic request or an expression of hope. Dakeni: A derivative from hukujoji “dake” referring to an extent of something, this morpheme describes the extent to which the preceding phrase influences the following phrase. Bakarini: A derivative from delimitative particle “bakari”, this morpheme connotes the qualification of “the only cause” as well as the generally negative connotation of “bakari”. Tame(ni): Usually employed in cases where unusual cause(reason) gives rise to an unusual effect.
