A Study Of Postposition 「(～to)iu」's Function And Meaning

There are siamesed form of postposition in both written and spoken modern Japanes e language, such as "S (to)iu N", "N (to)iu N", and Siamesed form of postposition als o combined with sentences and words. The paper mainly takes Siamesed sentence of "N (to)iu N" as an object, analyse the meaning, function and the corresponding form of ex pression of "(to)iu" in Korean novel.The paper is established in the augment of TakahaiTarou(1994), and regards "(to)iu" in "Nl(to)iuN2" as the postposition, which is derivated from Verb. The concept of post position is also applied to the siamesed words, and then makes use of the viewpoint of siamesed theory to divide the Noun and Noun group which is combined with "(to)iu"into 4 combinations,such as the combination of position and possessor (eg. "Asata (to)iu pe ople", "Matuetasir (to)iu people"), the combination of informational content and morpholo gy (eg. "Tanpaya (to)iu shopsign", "Tapture (to)iu face"), the combination of psychologic al content and state (eg."Amour (to)iu fallacy", "Paganism (to)iu feeling") and one partic ular combination, such as repeat of identical Noun (eg. "Man (to)iu Man", "This time (t o)iu This time").Then, according to the analysis method above, the paper investigates the correspondi ng form in Korean, finding out that siamesed form of postposition "(to)iu" also has the i rregular corresponding form in Korean, such as "(?)","(?)", besides the regular corresponding form in Korean, such as"(?)","(?)","(?)","( ?)","(?)","(?)".Among above corresponding form, "(?)" has the most hig hest ratio of corresponding which took up about 60% of the total examples, theomitted c orresponding form of "(to)iu" in translation which took up 12% comes in second.The paper collects the Noun phrases which are combined with postposition "(to)iu" i n modern Japanese novels, using the viewpoint of siamesed theory to analysis combinatio nal type, and also investigates the corresponding form in Korean. The analytical method of this paper is the first attempt in study of siamesed theory. However, although the pap er gives limits to Noun to Noun combination and partly analyses the function of postpos ition "(to)iu", classifies the usage of "(to)iu" that is unified outline for "content" and giv es a deep analysis. This study will play a fundamental role in the research of postpositio n based on the siamesed theory.Analysis and statistic will be made through more and more examples in future, and making further demonstration of the rationality of this classification method will be a fut ure research issues.
