[査読有り][通常論文] This paper provides an overview ofthe history ofresearch on the izenkei(realis) and kakarimusubi with "koso".
In these subjects, the themy that is developed by ONO Susumu and ISHIDA Haruaki, is quite a most common belief. They clarifY that the original characteris- tic of the izenkei(realis) is to join two clauses. And, they argue that kakarimusubi with koso, in which koso triggers the izenkei(realis) ofthe predicate, also join two clauses.
Since their arguments are important, most of the later articles refer to their theory in any way.
In this research note, I take up the papers of KYOGOKU Okikazu, SAEKI Umetomo, KONOSHIMA Masatoshi, YOSHINAGA Minoru and SASAKI Takashi.
KYOGOKU refutes ONO and ISHIDA, while he says that the izenkei(realis) represents an exclamation in a special situation.
SAEKI and KONOSHIMA also criticize ONO and ISHIDA. They emphasize that the role of the izenkei(realis) is to express something definitely, and that sometimes it is used at the end ofa sentence. They think that the izenkei(realis) is used in kakarimusubi with "koso" because the characteristic of izenkei(realis) matches "koso"'s property.
YOSHINAGA and SASAKI re-examine whole alone-usage of izenkei(realis) in Nara era, and find that there is no example which is properly placed at the end of a sentence. So they come to the conclusion that the izenkei(realis) isn't com- monly used to close a sentence.
I think that we cannot disprove the theory ofONO and ISHIDA, after I checked their evidences. We can, however, approach this problem closer, if we observe the whole kakarimusubi with "koso" carefully. In other words, we have to research on kakarimusubi with predicate adjective and predicate nominative.
