Principles of Changes in Conditional Expressions in Modern Kansai Japanese

本研究的目的是调查大坂现代语言中条件表达的使用情况及其具体变化，并探讨变化的原因。具体研究方法和结果如下：1.作为近代关西日语文献整理的一部分，对大正时期和昭和初期的16个大坂乐语故事进行了转写; 2.通过对乐语故事的录音和速记的比较，确定了乐语的语言特征，重点是条件表达。研究表明，速记速记词具有书面语特有的保守性，在录音中很少见到的某些语言用法在速记词中也能得到有效的观察。3.随着明治时期的到来，塔拉作为连接助词的使用开始多于奈良、to和虚拟形式+ ba在某些情况下的虚拟条件用法。然而，应当补充的是，根据虚拟表达的用法，过渡存在时间上的差异，在某些地区，to和虚拟形式+ ba继续使用。这是大坂方言/上潟语简化或向分析语言过渡的一个例子，并提供了一种理解地方语言变化的典型方法。

The objectives of this study were to investigate the usage of conditional expressions in modern language in Osaka and their specific changes and to examine the reasons for the changes. The specific methods and results were as follows :1.As part of the arrangement of documents on modern Kansai Japanese, 16 Osaka rakugo tales recorded on phonograph in the Taisho and the early Showa periods were transcribed.2.Based on a comparison between the phonograph recordings and the shorthand transcriptions of rakugo storytelling, the linguistic properties that rakugo has were identified, focused on conditional expressions. It was demonstrated that shorthand transcriptions have a conservative nature peculiar to written language and that a certain language usage seldom observed in recordings can be effectively observed the transcriptions.3.With the advent of the Meiji period, tara as a conjunctive particle begins to be more often used than nara, to and a subjunctive form + ba in some cases of the usages of subjunctive conditions. It should be added, however, that there were temporal differences of the transition depending on the usages of subjunctive expressions and in some regions to and a subjunctive form + ba continued to be used. This is an example of the simplification or the transition to an analytic language of the Osaka dialect/the Kamigata language and provides a typical way in which changes in regional languages can be understood.
