Abstract(in English)	This research analyzed the difference of behavior among synonyms to clarify their semantic difference. The synonyms investigted in this research are three Japanese adjectives: "tanoshii," "ureshii," and "omoshiroi." Analysis of their declension and collocation with corpora including newspapers and books showed the following results: (1) all three adjectives most frequently appears in the i-form; (2) "tanoshii" tends to appear in the attributive form and "ureshii" tends to appear in the dictionary form, while "omoshiroi" takes the attributive and dictionary forms with similar frequency; and (3) each word has its own collocation such as "tanoshii omoide"(pleasant memory), "ureshii himei"(happy busy days), "ureshii kagiri"(extremely happy), and "omoshiroi hanashi"(interesting story).
