ABSTRACT

This study examined the use of "O/Go~ninarareru" in "Diet Conference Proceedings" and found the following: 1) There was no change in is frequency of use between the 1940s and the 1970s, but since the 2000s, it has been used more than twice as frequently as in the 1970s. 2) According to a survey of frequently used words by age, those used rarely between the 1940s and the 1980s were used more frequently in the 1990s when the use of "O/Go~ninarareru" rapidly increased. 3) As the frequency of use of "O/Go~ninarareru" increases, the words used tend to be chosen not to be polite but rather to be similar to spoken words. 4) "O/Go~ninarareru" is predominantly not "question" but "response" related words. 5) This expression tends to reduce the impression that the speaker is attacking the listener when making a strong demand for something. 6) "Onakunarininarareru" is a phrase that has been used frequently since the 2000s and is interpreted as a statement made in consideration of other people, the third listener.
