Abstract(in English) Aesthetic Sentences often behave without grammatical constraints. Especially the poetic sentences are far beyond the sentential grammar constraints while maintaining an incredibly attractive power on human’s language understanding soul. In this paper we take HAIKU, classical Japanese short poetic sentence as a typical example of beautiful persuasive sentence. By using a functional grammar approach we try to solve the secret of generating simple sentential beauty. The beauty of HAIKU is often said to exist in ellipses, abbreviation and suggestions. Various events and mental sates are described in a very short and simple sentence which is composed of 5-7-5 letters words or phrases. The main point of Functional Grammar is that every sentence is composed of two categories: kernel sentence and meta-sentence. We show typical examples of meta-sentences and kernel sentences obtained from HAIKU, and try to reveal the secrets of aesthetic beauty of ultimately simple sentences.
