The study investigates how speakers use ‘nai-expressions’ (a verb root + the negative suffix (a)nai as in shabere-nai ‘cannot speak’ and ik-anai ‘will/do not go’) in naturally occurring conversation. The data demonstrate that although negative utterances have been considered to be ‘grammatical’ constructions that simply negate the truth value of a proposition, nai-expressions show formulaic tendencies and serve not only to express a speaker’s emotional personal stance on a particular story/event but also to create interpersonal space with other conversation participant(s) and to involve them in the story/event. The patterns which emerged from the data are quite similar to those in Ono and Thompson’s study on Japanese adjectives. As they pointed out, some of nai-expressions in the data may also be re-analyzed as adjectives.

对话中的日语否定后缀 nai:其公式性和主体间性

该研究调查了说话者如何在自然发生的对话中使用“nai-expressions”(动词词根 + 否定后缀 (a)nai,如 shabere-nai 'cannot speak' 和 ik-anai'will/do not go')。数据表明,尽管否定话语被认为是简单否定命题真值的“语法”结构,但 nai 表达表现出公式化的倾向,不仅可以表达说话者对特定故事/事件的情感个人立场,而且还与其他对话参与者创造人际空间并使他们参与故事/事件。从数据中出现的模式与小野和汤普森对日语形容词的研究非常相似。正如他们所指出的,数据中的一些 nai 表达也可能被重新分析为形容词。
