Japanese time perception seen from 'youbi':a viewpoint of Japanese language education in Taiwan

在21世紀初的今日，大家理所當然似地每天使用著「星期」「禮拜」「曜日」等語詞。不過，究竟臺灣何時開始使用與「星期」相關的用語？而在日本又是何時開始使用與「曜日」相關的用語呢？此外，由「星期」「禮拜」的用法所呈現出來之臺灣華語時間意識和由「曜日」的用法所呈現出來之日語時間意識是否有所差異？本稿從臺灣日語教育研究觀點出發，首先考察有關臺灣使用「星期」與日本使用「曜日」相關用語的起源，並透過實例分析「星期」「曜日」相關表現所呈現出來的時間意識，再從對比的角度探索華日語言文化中有關時間意識的異同。

The word 'shieng chi' in Taiwan, and the word 'youbi' in Japan are used every day at the present age of the 21st century. In Taiwan and Japan, when did it come to have the time perception of the week? When did Taiwanese begin to use 'shieng chi'? When did the Japanese begin to use ' youbi '? Do Taiwanese and Japanese have any differences in the time perception of 'day of the week'? The aim of this paper is to clarify the above-mentioned things from the viewpoint of Japanese language education in Taiwan. First of all, the start of 'shieng chi ' in Taiwan and the start of 'youbi ' in Japan will be considered. After that, the time perception seen from ' youbi ' will be analyzed through the examples.
