This research examines the temporal change of masculine and feminine language usage in Japanese literature by analyzing the sentence-ending particles in novels awarded the Akutagawa Prize from 2010 to 2022. Building upon Cao's (2005) earlier study, ten selected works by both male and female authors were investigated. The results revealed a nuanced shift in language dynamics, challenging previous findings. Overall, the study suggests that gender-specific language patterns have undergone notable changes in the past decade.
