| It is well known that Japanese and Korean demonstrative pronouns have three oppos ition, while there are two opposite forms in Chinese demonstrative pronouns. That is, Ja panese demonstrative pronouns are/「コ/ソ/ã‚¢ã€/, Korean pronouns are 「(?)ã€, and Chinese pronouns are「这/é‚£ã€For a long time, people have made further study of comparing two kinds of langu ages between two countries, but comparative study of demonstrative pronouns among thre e languages of three countries remains to be further done at home and abroad. Therefore, on the basis of previous studies, this paper aims at making comparative study of demon strative pronouns in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Meanwhile this paper shows similariti es and differences between three kinds of language demonstrative pronouns.Firstly, this paper has studied basic function of demonstrative pronouns of Chinese, Japanese and Korean regarding present demonstrative usage. Present demonstrative is divi ded into three parts---independent present demonstrative, relative circulation and relative o pposition, and has discussed similarities and differences in indicative function of these w ords. In relative present demonstrative, Japanese and Korean demonstratives give priority to listeners’sphere of influence. As a result, the speaker is closer to indicative objects. As long as indicative objects belong to listeners’ sphere of influence, we may choose a series of 「ソー〠and "「コーã€". But Chinese demonstrative just consider speakers’ sphere o f influence. Thus, if indicative objects are near to speakers, we can use“这一â€.Secondly, from three aspects, this paper has discussed similarities and differences of demonstrative word meaning in Chinese, Japanese and Korean, also pointed out correspon ding relationships of context indicator "コー",“这一â€,"(?)" and "ソー"“那一â€,"ユー" Then, in the usage of concept indicator,this paper comparatively analyses similaritie s and differences of concept indicator usage of demonstrative words "アー",“那一â€,"コー" in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. And discusses the relationship between concep t indicator, present demonstrative, context indicator and its prior sequences etc. As for co ncept indicator, all indicative words has some distance of time from now, therefore, Chin ese and Japanese both select "ア一/那一â€,while Korean chooses "ユー" to express the c oncept indication. Finally, from the word-formation perspective, this paper has illustrated word formatio n features of demonstrative words in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. This comparative stu dy at this chapter mainly revolves round the relationship between demonstrative words an d personal nouns, an object noun, noun of time and noun of orientation etc. Through thi s comparison, we’ve clearly known the collocation of indicative words and these nouns, their similarities and differences between emotion. In the meanwhile they can be used in dependently.Through comparative study of Japanese-Korean demonstrative pronouns, we have furth er known similarities and differences of indicative function of demonstrative pronouns. I earnestly hope that this paper will be helpful to future Japanese language acquisition and study. |
