项目摘要

The purpose of the research is to make a comprehensive study of English style from Old English to Present-day English by using an electronic database. The database used consists mainly of commercially available databases, but we constructed a database for a specific purpose when necessary. Drawing on the electronic database each of our researchers has made the following achievements in the past four years.Shinichiro Watanabe worked on the style of Present-day English : he published papers on some grammatical and lexical features of rhyming slang, which is now widely used, and not regionally restricted, and on the role of repetition in English stylistics.Mitsunori Imai studied the style of Middle English ; specifically he published works including those on the role of repetition in Middle English poems and the problem of how a line begins in Middle English merical romances.Hideki Watanabe worked on the style of Old English ; he published papers including those on Beowulf, aspects of meaning of the OE noun-verb combination, fixed formulaic expressions in OE, the Biblical phrase and words and examples in the OED derived from the characters of Shakespeare's plays.Ayako Ohmori studies the style of Modern English ; particularly she published papers on a variety of metaphorical expressions such as earth, air, water and fire metaphor and addressed herself to the problem how these metaphors relate to cognition of the mind.Tomoji Tabata studied the style of Modern English prose, he published papers including those on methods for a corpus-based analysis, corpus stylistics, a case study of the style of Dickens' novels by analyzing the distribution of ly adverbs.We co-authored the book titled Approaches to Style and Discourse in English published from the Osaka University of Press in 2004, in which we published part of our achievements in our project.

本研究的目的是利用电子数据库对从古英语到现代英语的英语风格进行全面的研究。使用的数据库主要由商业数据库组成，但我们在必要时构建了特定目的的数据库。利用电子数据库，我们的每位研究人员在过去四年中取得了以下成果。具体来说，他出版的作品包括关于重复在中古英语诗歌中的作用以及中古英语美国浪漫小说中的一行如何开始的问题。渡边秀树致力于古英语风格；他发表的论文包括《贝奥武夫》、《OE》名词动词组合的意义方面、《OE》中的固定公式表达、《OED》中源自莎士比亚戏剧人物的圣经短语和单词和例子。特别是她发表了关于地球、空气、水和火隐喻等各种隐喻表达的论文，并解决了这些隐喻如何与心灵认知相关的问题。Tomoji Tabata研究现代英语散文风格，发表的论文包括基于语料库的分析方法、语料库文体学、通过分析ly副词分布对狄更斯小说风格的案例研究等。与人合着的《英语风格与话语方法》一书于2004年由大阪新闻大学出版，其中我们发表了我们项目的部分成果。
