A Longitudinal Case Study on Focus Particles-Focusing on mo, wa, dake, shika, sae
|
英文摘要
|
The present paper, based on Numata (2009) and focusing on ”wa, mo, date, shika, sae,” aims to investigate the circumstances surrounding the learning of focus particles by Japanese learners in Taiwan. The research was conducted on the basis of the LARP at SCU database and examined one student's compositions over a period of three and a half years, in an attempt to clarify the order of appearance, the way of use and illegitimate uses of these focus particles. Moreover, by comparing and contrasting Japanese and Chinese, we tried to find the causes of the misuses of focus particles.
The research has led to the following findings:
1. Focus particles wa, mo, dake, shika, taught in the first year, were used in compositions, while focus particle sae, taught in the second year, never appeared in compositions during the entire period of seven semesters. The order of their appearance shows ”wa representing contrast” → ”mo representing accumulation” → ”dake representing limitation” → ”shika representing limitation,” → ”mo representing surprise.”
2. mo is most frequently used, and misuses appear solely in phrases containing mo.
3. The illegitimate use of these focus particles can be divided into 2 types: ”mistake of the scope of the focus particles” and ”inaccurate deletion of semantic cases.” And the reasons for the misuse of mo may be due to the influence of yie in Chinese.
