Language is always in constant change, this trend cannot be stopped by human beings and should not be stopped. On the other hand, language itself also carries the concept of "beauty", so it is accompanied by a certain degree of conservatism. All the language changes, for the elderly, they feel it is a kind of "chaos". So how has the Japanese language changed in the past 100 years, how is it changing now, and how will it change in the future?
Here, I would like to analyze the changes in spoken Japanese and the impact of such changes on Japanese education.
Ⅰ. How much has the Japanese language changed?
Compare the 1901 release with Akiko Yosano's "Random Hair" and Tamanji's "Chocolate Translator "Random Hair" released in 1998 to explore the changes in Japanese.
At the same time, the changes in Japanese language in the early 20th century during the release period of Akiko Yosano's "Random Hair" were examined.
The 1900s was the period when modern Japanese was basically formed. What changes happened during that period?
II. Changes in spoken language
Japanese is a language in which the subject is often omitted. In spoken language, even if the subject is omitted, it will not affect the transmission of meaning. It is generally believed that it depends on the function of auxiliary words and auxiliary verbs.
However, these auxiliary words and auxiliary verbs are a group with great changes in the part of speech. Regarding the evolution history of Japanese spoken language in the past 150 years, we can simply understand it as the history of the change of auxiliary words and auxiliary verbs.
Moreover, these changes have continued to this day.
I would like to analyze it by taking "ら抜き呉", "トカ弁", etc. as examples.
Ⅲ. Creating a language of dialogue
Japanese auxiliary words and auxiliary verbs are directly related to current gender issues.
I want to think about the problems left over in the process of Japanese modernization and explore the development direction of Japanese in the new era.
In particular, to clarify the scope of spoken language, I think establishing the concept of "dialogue" is the most important thing for Japanese in the new era.
And this question is also an important point of view for thinking about the future development direction of Japanese language education.
Ⅳ. Manipulating verbosity The number of sentences
in sentence that has nothing to do with conveying meaning is called "verbosity".
In the category of spoken language, the most verbose rate is "dialogue".
In the past, Japan's national language education or Japanese education policy has always focused on reducing the "redundancy rate". However, I think it is precisely the ability to manipulate verbosity that is really important.
The possibility of Japanese education in the new era should also be here.
