AB - The meanings and functions of "ura" in modern Japanese This paper studies the meanings and functions of “ura” in modern Japanese by investigating practical example sentences. It has been hardly studied on “ura” in previous research, but in modern Japanese “ura” has various meanings and functions. In this paper, the usages of “ura" are described in the three cases of meanings and functions: (1) pseudo noun, (2) postposition, and (3) conjunctive particle. The results of the study are presented as follows. First, when “ura" is used as a pseudo noun, it implies the rear or backside. In this meaning, “ura” basically represents a space indicated by a front noun and “N+ura" takes several cases. In this case, “N+ura" functions as a pseudo noun. Second, when “ura" is used as a postposition, it implies the inside facts from a point indicated by a front noun. In this case, the form of “ura" is limited to “N+urawo”, “N+urani", and “N+urade”, and then “N+ura" functions as a postposition. Third, when “ura" is used as a conjunctive particle, it represents the inside facts from a point indicated by a front verb. In this case, the form of “ura" is only limited to “V+urani", and then “V+ura" functions as a conjunctive particle. In conclusion, “ura” is used as a postposition or a conjunctive particle, although its basic function is a pseudo noun and it represents a space in modern Japanese. As a postposition or a conjunctive particle, “ura” shows significant changes in both aspects of formats and meanings.
