Diachrony, Synchrony, and Typology of Tense and Aspect in Old
Japanese reconstructs the synchronic system of tense and aspect in
Old Japanese, which until now has not been examined using the tools
of contemporary linguistic theory. Kazuha Watanabe analyzes
syntactic distribution of the temporal suffixes in the Man'yoshu,
an eighth-century poetry collection, and compares the results with
data from well-attested languages. The author then integrates the
semantic property of each suffix into the overall synchronic
tense-aspect system of Old Japanese. Watanabe further compares the
reconstructed system with the distributions of the same suffixes in
Early Modern Japanese using Genji Monogatari, an eleventh-century
novel, in order to provide further support for the synchronic
analysis of Old Japanese. This approach is fundamentally different
from traditional analyses, which identify the meanings of the
temporal suffixes based on contextual information. In addition,
previous analyses have produced a uniform analysis covering the
entire 700-year period from Old to Early Modern Japanese. Instead,
Watanabe proposes that Old Japanese had a temporal system distinct
from the later period.
