晶子童話的詞彙特徵－以《おとぎばなし少年少女》為例

本文嘗試透過詞彙使用之觀點來了解曾活躍於日本文學史上有名之作家－與謝野晶子的用詞特色。討論材料初步以首度公開發表之童話集《おとぎばなし少年少女》（1910年）為主，從整理其詞彙的使用傾向來了解其童話詞彙的特色，期望成果能對晶子的童話詞彙研究、晶子研究有所助益。經調查整理出以下幾點用詞特徵：（1）篇名多用動物植物（2）動植物種類豐富（3）關於聲音之描寫細膩（4）表聽覺表現之同一聲詞反覆出現（5）一詞多表記及「丁寧表現」的使用從這些特徵不難感受到晶子對大自然之喜愛以及敏銳的觀察力、動人的描寫力。這結果除了成為討論晶子研究時之參考資料外，亦期待對晶子童話之用詞特色、詞彙全貌的掌握以及童話創作中的晶子像或與晶子相關之一切研究有所助益。

By looking at Akiko Yosano's anthology of fairy tales ”Otogibanashi ShounenShoujo”, which includes her first magazine presented work ”The Courier Goldfish”, the goal of this thesis was to examine the word usage in these stories, to investigate the characteristics of Akiko's vocabulary, and to think about Akiko with regard to the writing of fairy tales. Through the results of this study, the following vocabulary characteristics were found: 1. The usage of animals and plants in the titles. 2. An abundance of animal and plant types. 3. A detailed description of voices and sounds. 4. A tendency to repeat word forms in auditory expressions. 5. The little use of multiple written forms for an individual word and Polite Expressions. From these characteristics one can certainly get a feel for Akiko's love of nature, her subtle powers of observation, and her ability to portray emotions. In addition to being a springboard for discussions of Akiko related research, it clarifies all the details of the vocabulary in Akiko's fairy tales. It is hoped that this study can be of further use to research concerning both Akiko and herself as a fairy tale writer.
