By looking at Akiko Yosano's anthology of fairy tales 'Otogibanashi ShounenShoujo', which includes her first magazine presented work 'The Courier Goldfish', the goal of this thesis was to examine the word usage in these stories, to investigate the characteristics of Akiko's vocabulary, and to think about Akiko with regard to the writing of fairy tales. Through the results of this study, the following vocabulary characteristics were found: 1. The usage of animals and plants in the titles. 2. An abundance of animal and plant types. 3. A detailed description of voices and sounds. 4. A tendency to repeat word forms in auditory expressions. 5. The little use of multiple written forms for an individual word and Polite Expressions. From these characteristics one can certainly get a feel for Akiko's love of nature, her subtle powers of observation, and her ability to portray emotions. In addition to being a springboard for discussions of Akiko related research, it clarifies all the details of the vocabulary in Akiko's fairy tales . It is hoped that this study can be of further use to research concerning both Akiko and herself as a fairy tale writer. |
