概要

論文の詳細を見る
In this paper, I intended to investigate arguments concerning the relationship between the forms of linguistic items and their functions through reviewing literatures on discourse analysis with the future application of the insight gained through the process to the classroom teaching in mind. Firstly, after looking into difficulty in acquiring communicative abilities from the viewpoint of the relation between linguistic items and their functions, I tried to clarify the definition of the term 'discourse analysis'. Secondly, I delved into arguments for the unpredictability of the functions realized in the form of linguistic items by tracing back some approaches to discourse analysis. Lastly, after trying an analysis of an extract from a radio drama transcription, I looked into some examples of the distorted relation between forms and functions from the viewpoint of discourse analysis.
