AB - In this paper, we examined the lexical and syntactic characteristics of “Tame,” which indicates “reason” or “purpose” in the context of the Annual Report on Reforms and Progress in Chosen, and explored Japan's colonial education policy through this.
As a result, it was revealed that “Tame” was used as “reason” in 22.7% of cases and as “purpose” in 77.3% of cases, showing that it was used as “purpose” in an overwhelming majority of cases. This information can be inferred from the fact that the Annual Report on Reforms and Progress in Chosen is a document on governance concerning the control of Chosen. Still, it is significant because it could be confirmed using the grammatical form “Tame.” In discussing the meaning and usage of the term “reason,” it was noted that a significant lexical characteristic related to “Tame” is the prevalence of negative words associated with Chosen or Chosen people. Additionally, as a syntactic characteristic, it was observed that the preceding clause often describes Chosen in a negative light, while the succeeding clause highlights the achievements of the Japanese Government-General of Chosen.
The meaning and usage of the term “purpose” reveal the frequent use of causative verbs and intervening verbs, underscoring the oppressive attitude of the Japanese Government-General of Chosen. Furthermore, Japan's policies were examined through the syntactical characteristics of the constructions “for what” and “in what way.”
