ABSTRACT

This paper offers the meanings and functions of 「sonna/sonnani」 in response to the negation and draws following conclusions: First, in case of 「sonna」; ① 「sonna」 is distinguished from 「sono」 because it functions as a demonstrative pronoun which expresses a speaker’s emotion or evaluation. ② When 「sonna」 is combined with a noun such as 「mono/koto」, the expression of negation becomes extremely higher and it affects adjectives or other noun modifiers. ③ Since 「sonna」 establishes distinctive verbal uniqueness, it is matchlessly used in idiomatic expressions. Second, in case of 「sonnani」; ① 「sonnani」 has twofold characteristics; the usage of adverb and demonstrative pronoun. ② Through the comparative analysis of 「amari～nai」 and 「sonnani～nai」, it was able to find out similarities and differences. Future tasks in this field could be the similarities and differences of 「sonna」 with expressions such as 「sonnahuuni」「souiuu/souitta」 or characteristics of 「sonna」 in use of irony. Through these researches, it is expected to extend the boundary of the negation study and develop the meanings and usages of demonstrative pronouns logically and systematically.
