Making a Contrastive Lexical List of Adjectives and Adjectival Verbs of Old Japanese and the Statistical Analysis Based on this List

本文以《对比反义词表》的形式，对收集自日本奈良时期及前后的《旧日本形容词构词法》资料、22篇中古散文作品和八代书的《古日本形容词构词法》进行了分析，并将结果公布于世。结果表明：(1)新旧形容词在22部古、中古散文作品中使用频率的数量变化与同类作品中使用形容词动词的数量变化一致。(2)《八代书》中的形容词保留了古日语形容词的旧构词类型。(3)古日语形容词的词汇结构有两种类型：(1)“干+后缀”或在某一组中包含这种结构的形容词更能构成多音节词；另一方面，（II）“（干+干）+后缀”的形容词或在某一组中包含这种结构的形容词被发现是自成一体的，不太能够形成两个或更多的音节。(4)对每一种不同音节构词类型的词法和结构分析结果表明，中古散文作品中的形容词最为多样化，特别是-ku共轭型形容词，这是一种开始出现的新类型。(5)为了对已出版的古日语形容词的构词法进行更全面的分析，我们在目前讨论的材料中增加了带有“昆腾”的材料，发现了以下两点：(1)在定量构词法上，带有“昆腾”的材料中的形容词与约代（奈良时期及前后）材料中的形容词最接近；另一方面，（二）中古中古散文集中形容词的数量构成与约代材料中形容词的数量构成有所不同；（三）《八代书》中的形容词与楚子散文作品中的形容词比较接近，而与《昆天》材料中的形容词比较接近。本文通过对《约代》材料中的形容词与《楚子》散文集中的形容词的比较，以及对形容词构词史的考察，对以往多以共时方式讨论的“构词”领域进行了历时性的考察。（385字）少

The result of the analysis of "Word Formation in Old Japanese Adjectives" collected from the Jodai (in and around Nara Period) materials, 22 Old and Medieval prose works and the Hachidai-shu was made public in the form of the Contrastive Reverse Lexical List. This analysis revealed the following five points :(1) A quantitative change in the frequency of use of old and new adjectives in the 22 Old and Medieval prose works and that of adjectival verbs used in the same works coincide.(2) The adjectives in the Hachidai-shu remained in the old types of word formation in Old Japanese adjectives.(3) The type of lexical structure in Old Japanese Adjectives is twofold :(I) Adjectives with 'stem + suffix' or those in a certain group that contain this structure were found more capable of forming words with many syllables ; on the other hand,(II) Adjectives with '(stem + stem) + suffix' or those in a certain group that contain this structure were found self-contained and less capable of forming wo … More rds with many syllables.(4) The result of the lexical and structural analysis of each word-formation type with different syllables revealed that the adjectives in Old and Medieval prose works were most diversed, specially so were the -ku conjugation type adjectives, a new type that had begun to appear.(5) We added materials with kunten (guiding marks) to the materials so far discussed in order to make a more comprehensive analysis of the word formation of the Old Japanese adjectives (published), and found the following two :(I) The adjectives in the materials with kunten were closest to the adjectives in the Jodai (in and around Nara Period) materials in quantitative formation ; on the other hand,(II) Quantitative formation of the adjectives in the Chuko (Old and Medieval) prose works was different from that of the adjectives in the Jodai materials;(III) The adjectives in the Hachidai-shu were closer to those in the Chuko prose works than to those in the materials with kunten.In this research, we made a diachronical approach to the field of 'word formation', which had been mostly discussed in a synchronic way, by comparing adjectives collected from the Jodai materials with those from the Chuko prose works, and by examining the history of word formation that deals with historical changes of adjective formation.
