AB - This study explores the form nara, which represents the conditional meaning in Japanese.
The form nara connects to the upcoming main clause, and influences from outside of the proposition of the preceding clause. Its use has the premise that sets the situation to a condition. The from is derived from the auxiliary verb [da] and is established as a form representing the conditional meaning, so it should be recognized as a connective.
The syntax characteristic of nara is that the it functions to set up a situation as a condition regardless of whether the proposition of the precrding clause is true or not, and thus the form is not constrained unless it indicates a truth or a general repetition of an event.
Since nara is a form to express the psychological attitude of the speaker, the Modality that conveys the speaker’s will appears at the end of the upcoming clause and the Modality is not constrained except for an assertive narrative representation sush as the description statement.
In the case of Tense indication, nara can be expressed in the syntax content of the future point of view, but this is for the preceding clause only, and the upcoming elause, according to the characteristics of the sentence of nara, appears at the time of utterance or after the time of utterance. Such special features of the nara statement are so because the syntax of nara has a deep relationship with the display of the Modality and the Tense.
Finally, nara 's semanteme is basically a condition, the purpose of which is, in the form of semantic characteristics, to present a hypothesis, semi-realistic condition that appears in the expression of assumption conditions, the presentation of a topic or subject, and the semantic characteristics of circumstances that are presented by setting the condition to indicate the psychological attitude of the speaker.
