This study introduces various examples of the adnominal expression “N1ナ(na) N2” to make it clear the cause of its increase, grammatical aspect, and function in meaning. Before, the adnominal expression “N1ナ(na) N2” had been studied in “ナ(na)/ノ(no)“ selection and its attribute and non-attribute concepts. However, the grammatical position of “N1 ナ(na) N2” was not clear due to the existence of anomalistic expressions. In this study, the reasons why such adnominal expressions are used are considered by focusing on changes in contemporary Japanese vocabularies. This led to the consideration of the grammatical aspect, and the function in meaning of the adnominal expression “N1ナ(na) N2”. The additional use of Kanji as nouns and also as adjectives, combined with the increase of loanwords categorized as abstract nouns are confirmed in the contemporary Japanese. Along with this, concrete nouns and proper nouns have started being used as inflectable words.They have been changed intoナ(Na)-type adjectives in the process of these changes, which are the strongest in the process of making neologisms.
