ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to consider the usage of ‘mosu’ and ‘haberi’ in “Shasekishu” written in middle Japanese. In old Japanese, ‘mosu’ and ‘haberi’ was used as a modest usage. In middle Japanese, however, the term came to be used in the way to pay respect to the hearer with the shift of its usage, further, in ‘jinobun’, the writer is using it in the stylistic usage which plays a significant role in providing aesthetic effect for many unspecified readers. As a device to express the honorific forms in middle Japanese, the stylistic usage is claimed to be found with other literary works as well as “Shasekishu”.
