ABSTRACT

Up to now, we have analyzed the original text of Jeongchangwon for the borrowed-special-character(正倉院萬葉假名文書)(Eul-grade) and compared/investigated the expression of ancient special borrowed characters (上代特殊假名づかい)(Gab-grade/Eul-grade), polite expressions (敬語表記) and expression of auxiliary verbs (助動詞表記) through out the ancient literatures from the aspect of the borrowed-special-character description (借字表記) focusing on the vocabulary of the original text. The analysis of the original text in Chapter 2 was possible only roughly because one same original text existed in two types of form with different structure and its meaning was ambiguous. Chapter 3 addressed all the vocabularies that were subject to ancient special borrowed characters (上代特殊假名づかい) in the original text. With regard to the description of polite expressions and auxiliary verbs in Chapter 3 and 4, ancient special borrowed characters (上代特殊假名づかい;甲/乙) which were related with the inflectional form, the relevant grammatical utilization and the connection of the borrowed-special-character description(萬葉假名表記)(borrowing Chinese characters/descriptions in borrowed-character) were analyzed and then, compared with various ancient literatures.
