AB - This paper presents an analysis of the characteristics of conditional expressions, specifically ‘TO, TARA, BA, NARA,’ as utilized in a diary written by an elementary school student who acquired Japanese as a second language within a colonial language acquisition environment. The findings of this study detail the longitudinal mechanisms that explain the changes in forms and usage of these Japanese conditional expressions, in comparison with data collected from the attrition stage of Japanese generations sharing similar attributes. The key results of the analysis are summarized as follows: (a) The conditional expressions observed in the acquisition-stage Japanese of the primary education generation are used with a high degree of accuracy about both form and function, indicating that these expressions may have gradually regressed during the attrition stage following the cessation of contact with the Japanese language. (b) A comparative analysis of conditional expressions from both the acquisition stage and the attrition stage reveals that while the acquisition stage predominantly features TO, there is a noticeable trend towards the convergence of forms to TARA during the attrition stage. (c) In terms of the frequency and accuracy of conditional expressions used by the primary school generation across the acquisition and attrition stages, the usage of NARA and BA was primarily limited to fundamental applications during the acquisition stage, and this limited usage persisted throughout the attrition stage. Conversely, TARA and TO retained their essential applications during the attrition phase. (d) An examination of the conditional expressions used between the acquisition and attrition stages reveals prominent features, including the speaker’s perspective, modifications in modality and tense at the sentence’s conclusion, and errors in verb conjugation.
