「自分」の意味用法に関するレベル別の使用傾向分析 : 日本語読解教材とBCCWJの対照分析を中心に

要旨

The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of the various usages of “jibun（self）” by using a corpus of Japanese reading teaching materials and the BCCWJ, a general-purpose corpus of written language of Japanese native speakers. Based on Kim（2013） and Takubo（1997）,“jibun” can be divided into general usage, reflexive usage, the first-person pronoun usage, and the second-person pronoun usage. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the usage trend of “jibun” in the corpus of teaching materials of different levels and in the BCCWJ, and uses correspondence analysis to clarify the usage of “jibun” by using the register information in the BCCWJ. The results show that the usage tendency of “jibun” between the corpus of teaching materials and the BCCWJ is different in the follow two ways. First, the rate of reflexive usage in the corpus of teaching materials is higher than that of the BCCWJ, but the rate of general usage in the BCCWJ is higher than that of reflexive usage in middle and advanced levels. Second, the usage rate of the second-person pronoun usage of “jibun” in the corpus of teaching materials is lower than that of the BCCWJ, and it seldom appears in teaching materials. Furthermore, based on the correspondence analysis, it was also found that “jibun” has the moderating and sympathetic pragmatic functions.
