AB - The phrase -ka ni naru is deemed to be ungrammatical because it is a redundant expression. However, interestingly it is sometimes seen in texts on the Web. Previous studies have not dealt with this -ka ni naru. Therefore, in this paper, we conducted BCCWJ researches and web researches as a quantitative study. In the BCCWJ researches, it appeared that the three registers Chiebukuro, blogs, and Diet meeting minutes accounted for more than three-quarters of all usage examples. Since there were few examples in the publishing and library registers, it can be suggested that -ka ni naru was corrected to -ka suru, -ka sareru, or -ni naru in the process of proofreading. Focusing on the writing style, the ratio of the desu masu style was higher in -ka ni naru than in -ka suru, and in particular, a difference of about 20 percentage points was seen in the Chiebukuro and blogs. Through web researches, examples of -ka ni naru were also obtained from official websites, such as of companies and local governments. From these results, it was suggested that -ka ni naru is not a misuse, but a new expression that certain native speakers consider to be correct. In addition, there was not much difference in the number of hits between -ka ni naru, -ka suru, and -ka sareru in the web researches. Hence it can be pointed out that -ka ni naru is used more than a little on the Web. Taken together, these results suggest that the motive for using the redundant expression -ka ni naru might be to further express politeness. Based on the results of this quantitative study, qualitative studies will be needed from semantic and syntactic points of view.
