Language is the main tool for people to communicate, which reflects people’s minds and hearts.So, when people use the language to convey the will, they will pay attention to their mode of expression and logical meaning.And the word order, in a certaein extent, reflects the logic of the discourse.As we all know, the Chinese word order is in very strict restrictions, and the Japanese word order has always been considered relatively free, especially the conjoined modifiers in Japanese word order, which is condered as basically silent along.Concerning the word order in Japanese language, too many researchers, led by Saeki Tetsuo, have done lots of study on it.But the study was mainly concentred in the word order of the sentences, such as the SOV order and cell composition order.And Qiaobejqi noted that there has no order basically at all between several conjoined modifiers.Some scholars, such as the Koike clear governance, have poinited out that when the two adjectives work as conjoined modifiers, the sentence order shows the「ク活用形容词+シク活用形容词」order. Through some examples the thesis has found that, between Several components of the piece modifier, if the word order is arbitrarily changed, then, sometimes there will be logical barrier, modified the relationship between chaos, causing read misunderstanding, etc.Seen the Japanese order of conjoined modifiers is not a free replacement, there may be some kind of word order tendency. In this thesis, on the basis of the former researchers, through the analysis of ample examples in some literatures, the author do some research on the tendency of the order between the conjoined modifiers in Japanese and analyse the reasons simply. In the thesis, two conjoined modifiers are discussed, mainly from the internal meaning of the modifier and two angles of the external form, and the study focused on the core components of the piece modifier ingredients-between adjectives and nouns word order tendency.The preamble describes the research background, prior studies, research methods and in this article constitute.In the first chapter, the Japanese piece modifiers are described and analyzed systematically. Before this, the research on conjoined adjectives in Japanese is too simple, scattered and quite broad. And this thesis, through ample examples, analyzes and summarizes the conception, constitutes, types and the interanal modification of the relationship between modifiers and be-modifieders.In the second chapter, the thesis mainly discusses the tendency of the word order of internal modification(namely intrinsic meaning) between the modifiers and be-modifieders, and the word types constituting the conjoined adjectives. Through statistics and analysis of a large number of articles, the thesis get the results that, from the view of internal relationship of modification, the word order between the parallel modified relationship is generally free, but between the progressive type of modification of the relationship and the harmony type of the modified relationship, the order and the logic are strong, and the word order is strictly restrained. From the external form of the speech constitute parts, the thesis analyzed the word order tendency on the verb, word piece, piece section adjectives and nouns. And in the end the thesis concluded the conclution on the basis of the previous paper reviews:Between the conjioned modifiers in Japanese, there are two strong tendency of the sentence order relatively,①the closer relationship, the more closely to the modifier,②the long and complex modifiers stand in the front of the short and simple ones.In the third chapter, this thesis inspects the core of the piece modifier composition-the sentence order between adjectives and nouns, mainly from the external form and inner meanning. Agreeing with the former conclution, external shape refers to the length of the syllables of the modifiers, and that is a syllable longer stands in the front of the short one generally.Discussing the inner meaning, this thesis mainly explore the word order tendency mainly from the new point of view of the manner and significance of integration between the modified noun and modifying a noun, and gets the corresponding conclusions.
