Abstract
"Written language" and "Formal expression" are often mentioned in teaching sentence patterns of Japanese. How is the concept of "the style of sentence patterns" shared between native Japanese speakers? I examined the issue based on "Japanese-Language Proficiency Test: Test Content Specifications (Revised Edition)" in 5 sentence pattern dictionaries. "The style of sentence patterns" varied a great deal depends on the style dictionary. I am going to find out "the style of sentence patterns" which is commonly shared between native Japanese speakers, and apply them to the teaching method of Japanese sentence patterns.
