This paper examines three verbal suffixes, yoru, toru, and te-aru, which function as aspect markers in Nagasaki dialect. These three suffixes express the temporal structure of events comparable to that of two verbal suffixes, te-iru and te-aru, of standard Japanese. In standard Japanese, te-iru functions to mark either the resultative aspect or progressive aspect, and te-aru functions to mark the resultative aspect by intransitivizing a verbal clause. It has been claimed that yoru marks the progressive aspect and toru marks the resultative aspect by considering that both yoru and toru are the counter part of te-iru. Based on eleven sets of narrative data in Nagasaki dialect, it became clear that not only yoru marks the progressive aspect, but toru also marks the progressive aspect as well as the resultative aspect just like te-iru in standard Japanese. This paper suggests that the functional difference among these three suffixes can be sought in terms of the writer's view point. Both yoru and te-aru functions to zoom in on an event while toru carries no such emphasis. Yoru focuses on the agent of a predicate and te-aru focuses on the patient of that particular event.
