Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) One of the Japanese subordinators tame-ni has a pair of contradictory uses: cause vs purpose. Moreover, the same tame-ni, when topicalized (as in the form tame-niwa), assigns a consequence interpretation to the clause before it and condition to the clause after it. Analogically, cause is parallel to condition, and purpose to consequence. This is because cause and condition precede purpose and consequence in the context of time sequence. Both cause and purpose are subordinated by tame-ni, whereas condition is placed after topicalized tame-niwa. That is to say, cause and purpose show a striking contrast on a time axis; these two contrast with condition in terms of word order. In so doing, multiple sentences, which embrace more than two clauses, vary through inversion. This paper aims to clarify the importance of valency information in multiple sentences.
