ABSTRACT

A comparative study was done on the meanings and usages of the temporal adverb "suguni" and its synonymous adverbs "tadachini" which "tachimachi", and compared them with their Korean equivalents. Japanese temporal adverbs have some features in common in that they imply an immediate realization of an activity and require a preceding event and its succeeding event. Their differences include the following: i) in terms of style, "suguni" is mostly used colloquially, while "tadachini" is usually used in formal statements or reports. ii) The three adverbs are different in the relationship between a preceding event and its succeeding event in that "suguni" implies a succeeding event has taken place immediately after the occurrence of its preceding event. "Tachimachi" suggests the preceding event has caused a significant development in the succeeding event in a short period of time, and "tadachini" connotes continuous succession of an activity between the preceeding and succeeding events without any time gap. "Tadachini" implies a human activity, "tachimachi" is for a natural phenomenon, while "suguni" is widely utilized in both instances. Korean temporal adverbs corresponding to these words may be "god", "baro", and "jeugsi". As for their differences in meanings, the former two words imply an immediate realization of a succeeding event based on the occurrence of the preceding event, but "jeugsi", which focuses on the succeeding event, suggests an occurrence of a new event that causes a new development of the situation.
