Wellington Fault belongs to the major fault belt which extends NE-SW through New Zealand, Namely, Alpine Fault of South Island extends along the northwestern side of the Southern Alps and the fault branches at the north end of the South Island into the Wangamoa, Wairau, Awatere, Clarence, Kekerengu, Hop-kaikoura and Port Pass Faults. And so, the Weillington Fault is regarded as the continuation of the Awatere Fault, and the Wairarapa Fault is regarded as the continuation of the Kekerengu Fault. These faults are mostly active and even in the historic past of 120 years, numerous earthquakes took place associated with crustal deformations. Wellington Fault has a boldly defined, fairly straight course and can readily be traced north-east for 150 miles from Cook Strait through Wellington City and along the west of the Wellington Harbour and Hutt Valley. Wellington Fault is a clockwise transcurrent fault and upthrow of the crustal blocks bordering this fault has raised the hill country to the west of it, while downthrow and buckling of the land to the east has helped to form the Port Nicholson and Hutt Valley depressions. At the upper levels of the western side of Wellington City, there are remains of Peneplains which are called the 'K' Surface by C. A. Cotton. Perhaps the 'K' Surface can be classified into some surfaces.
The periglacial deposits were found by C. A. Cotton and M. T. Te Punga for the first time at Wellington. The periglacial deposits of the South Island in New Zealand were found by Jane Soons, Mr. Brockie and others.
Two periglacial deposits-stratified scree and stratified solifluction tongue-were classified by Jane M. Soons in South Island. But, there are many problems on the periglacial geomorphology in New Zealand.

本稿は、連続テレビドラマを用いて、現代日本語の助詞「たり」の使用傾向を調査し、その非例示用法を中心に文脈の特徴と発話効果を考察したものである。まず「たり」の使用傾向を示した。並列使用か単独使用かで分類し、55％を単独使用が占めることを明らかにした。並列使用・単独使用を合わせた全体では例示用法が約６割を占めていたものの、単独使用の用例のうち、約７割が非例示用法ということがわかった。さらに、非例示用法の用例について、〈可能性〉〈意外性〉〈評価性〉に分けて、「たり」が用いられる文脈の特徴を提示し、また〈可能性〉〈意外性〉〈評価性〉とそれぞれの文脈との相互作用で生まれる発話効果を考察した。
