JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe aim of this paper is to clarify the phonological motivation for the stem-final /i-u/ and /e-u/ alternations of verbs, as well as properties of liquids in Ancient Japanese. I explore the possibility of a connection between the stem-final vowel alternations in verbs and certain properties of liquid consonants.
Present-day Japanese, at least the Tookyoo dialect, does not exhibit stem-final /i-u/ and /e-u/ alternations of verbs. Some modern dialects, e.g., those in Kyuushuu, exhibit alternation only in /e/-stem verbs, but not in /i/-stem verbs. This /e-u/ alternation is a relic of Ancient Japanese.
There has been only one liquid phoneme in Japanese throughout its history, whose phonetic realization remains an issue for phonologists.View full abstractDownload PDF (1460K) -
Toyoko AMAGAWA2000 Volume 2000 Issue 118 Pages 29-54

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe aim of the present paper is to specify the type of verb which can occur in have/ take+a+V constructions in British English, particularly that spoken in Australia. Two factors are involved in the verb selection: one is the a+V, where a signifies "a" or "an" and V signifies an appropriate verb. The other factor is the construction as a whole.
It is argued that since a+V in have/ take + a+V sentences defines the aspect of the verb, it is the a+V alone that determines the possible verbs appearing with it, whether the main verb is have or take. It is also argued that the two constructions have their own respective constructional constraints determined in part by the meanings of the main verbs.
Jespersen (1909-49: Part VI) coined the phrase "light verbs" to refer to have and take in have l take+a+V constructions . Cattell (1984: 2) observes that these verbs signify only tense and number and so are of relatively small importance, semantically speaking. However, this paper shows that these light verbs do contribute significantly to the semantics of sentences including them.View full abstractDownload PDF (1344K) -
The validation of the speaker's information in the texTakuro MORIYAMA2000 Volume 2000 Issue 118 Pages 55-79

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTO IERU (lit: can say) is a formula which concerns epistemic judgement in Japanese. This formula indicates the validity of the speaker's expression or opinion in the text. How the information is validated reflects the text structure, therefore, by means of this formula, we can distinguish the information which the speaker has produced from that of the ″objective data″. This funciton is shared with ″TO IUKOTONI NARU (lit: become) ″, ″TO KANGAE RARERU (lit: be considered)″, ″NODA″ and ″WAKEDA″. We attempted to examine the differences between them.View full abstractDownload PDF (2977K) -
