Contrastive analysis on several languages to prevent misuse of demonstratives

在本研究中，基于日语和其他三种语言（印尼语、韩语和汉语）的大量母语使用者都是日语学生这一事实，对指示语的使用进行了对比分析。因此，本研究有助于分析三步制（如[ko/so/a]）和两步制（如[ko/a]）指示语使用的差异，以及其中的其他差异。上述四种语言中指示语使用的对比分析结果可以被认为是防止日语学习者误用日语指示语的有用材料。

In this study, a contrastive analysis was carried out on the use of demonstratives in Japanese and other three languages (Indonesian, Korean, and Chinese) on the basis of the fact that a large number of the native speakers of these three languages are students of the Japanese language. The study thus facilitated an analysis of the difference in the use of demonstratives in the three-step (like [ko/so/a]) and two-step (like [ko/a]) systems, as well as the other differences therein. The result of this contrastive analysis on the use of demonstratives across the abovementioned four languages can be considered as useful material toward preventing learners of Japanese from misusing the Japanese demonstratives.
