| Abstract(in English) | In composing a piece of written text, writers are expected to do so in accordance with the style, genre, context or BA congruent to the purpose and intended audience of the resulting passage. In the writings of non-native learners of Japanese, however, we find interesting examples of words and expressions that native speakers find "inappropriate." This suggests that clarifying what words and expressions are suitable for which kinds of text would help improve the way learners of Japanese acquire and improve their writing proficiency. In this paper, we mainly focus on adverbs and sentence-final expressions that appear in weekly magazine column sentences in which the writers state their opinions. A pilot survey of relevant data showed that the kinds of sentence-final expressions are varied, often with some modality elements. Among adverbs, those typically used for statements appear most often, suggesting some correlation between the adverbs and the sentence-final expressions. We also found relatively frequent use of adverbs that do not often appear in newspapers articles or technical papers. |
