日本語における終結詞「ダ」の機能について

概要

論文の詳細を見る
In this article da is supposed to belong to the tentative word-class of conclusions, whose function is to mark the end of a sentence and give a kind of modality. Many theories, including transformationally-oriented ones which regard da as a kind of pro-verb, are examined. The final analysis is carried out from the viewpoint of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP) and Communicative Dynamism (CD). It reveals the fact that da, as the medium (M) defined by the present author, carries the medium degree of CD in FSP so as to link the rheme (R) with the theme (T), composing the standard distribution of CD in Japanese (T-R-M), in contrast to many European languages (whose standard distribution of CD is T-M-R, identical with the basic distribution of CD), and also that da is not a pro-verb but a modal like must in English.
