Rörande den i Hiroshima förekommande partikeln ken

På svenska

Author

  • Andreas Argelius

Summary, in English

The Hiroshima dialect is spoken by the population of the Hiroshima Prefecture in western Japan. This paper describes the features and properties of the
dialect in regard to pronounciation, grammar and vocabulary and compares it to standard Japanese, hyojungo. The focus is on the dialectal particle ken
that is used to express `cause' in a clause. The particle is compared to the particle kara of standard Japanese. A survey shows a small difference regarding the words' social function but no difference regarding their grammar or their logical function
