ABSTRACT

This study is designed to discover meaning and function of ‘tehosikunai’ and ‘naidehosii’ that two negative forms of ‘tehosii’ aiming to describe expectation and request. ‘Tehosikunai’ is mainly used in describing negative expectation, refusal, suggest, or order. This form cannot be used unless preconditions are satisfied. Otherwise, ‘naidehosii’ can be when preconditions are not met and includes meaning of negative expectations, consideration, one’s opinion and negative imperative. The differences between ‘tehosikunai’ and ‘naidehosii’ are also discovered. These two negative forms has clear distinctions in 1) correlation with postpositions, 2) relationship between the scope and focus of negation, 3) existence of preconditions, and 4) meaning and function. In extended study in future, the past tense and its usage of ‘tehosikunakatta/naidehosikatta’ would be discovered.
