近代語「浪漫」の成立と変遷

要旨

This paper is a study on how the term ‘roman’ which is related to “romanticism, romanticism, romanticism” is translated and changed in meaning. The first word related to ‘roman’ is not ｢roman｣ but ｢romance｣ in the Japanese dictionary and Chinese dictionary, and the meaning of ｢romance｣ is ‘nonsensical stories’. The ateji ｢浪漫｣ first appeared in the form of ｢浪漫派｣in 1907, when Natsume Soseokji used the word in his novel 󰡔nowaki󰡕 in the magazine 󰡔hototogisu󰡕. In Showa period, there were a growing number of examples of ｢浪漫｣which was used with Yomigana ｢romansu/romanchikku｣. When the Katagana ｢ロマン｣was used is after 1950s, and ｢ロマン｣usually meaned ‘a yearning of dreams, goals, and adventures, etc’ while ｢ロマンス｣ meaned ‘love stories’. To sum up, the first word introduced in Japan related to ‘roman’, was not ‘roman’ or ｢浪漫｣. ｢ロマン｣was one of the Yomigana of ｢浪漫｣, which was derived from the usage｢浪漫主義｣｢浪漫的｣, the translation of｢romanticism｣and｢romantic｣.
