Abstract
In this paper, the accents of conjunctive, conclusive, and attributive adjectives were analyzed utilizing the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ). A comparison of accented and unaccented-type adjectives revealed that the former were overwhelmingly more common. Also, as has been previously reported, in the conjunctive form accented type words and unaccented-type words are integrated. However some differences were found in the respective usage of each type. Likewise, in the conclusive form there was also a tendency for accented and unaccented types to be integrated. Attributive forms, by contrast, were found to retain their original accent patterns.
