Details | In Present Day Japanese, one conventionalized expression, i.e. ya-ina-ya, is used almost exclusively to introduce a temporal adverbial clause (‘as soon as…’), regardless of whether it is written in kanji or in hiragana. On the other hand, amid the grammaticalization from the complementizer function (i.e. ‘whether or not’) to the temporal adverbial function (i.e. ‘as soon as…’) in Early Modern Japanese through Modern Japanese, these two usages are found to have been scribed differently from each other in the majority of cases. However, shortly after these periods, the shift from the complementizer to temporal adverbial function had been almost complete except compositions written in literary Japanese, and such an orthographic division of labor has gone according to the corpus-based surveys. Since these phenomena have not been addressed even in the well-known studies on literally translation of or language contact with Western languages, it deserves a full-scale investigation. |
