意志を表すモダリティ表現の「（意向形＋）と思う」“要”/「つもりだ」“打算”/「予定だ」“准备”に関する中日対照研究

Abstract

"Modality is defined as an expression that shows a speaker’s attitude towards truth. Various modality expressions exist in Japanese. Among them, to-omou, -tsumori-da, yotei-da are used to express a speaker’s intentions. These expressions are introduced to Chinese students learning Japanese as a second language at the beginner’s level. The Japanese expressions of to-omou, tsumori-da and yotei-da are translated into yào, dă suán, zhŭn bèi in Chinese. However, while these pairs are similar, they slightly different in meaning, often resulting in errors by native Chinese speakers. Thus, the present study conducted a contrastive study on intentional modality expressions of to-omou vs. yào, -tsumori-da vs. dă suàn, and yotei-da vs. zhŭn bèi to clarify the differences in meanings between Chinese and Japanese in order to promote the understanding of these Japanese modality expressions for native Chinese speakers leaning Japanese."
