@article{oai:mie-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00014319, author = {仲渡, 理恵子 and Nakato, Rieko}, journal = {三重大学国際交流センター紀要, Bulletin of Center for International Education and Research, Mie University}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, This paper analyzes and considers the meaning and usage of “semete” from the Japanese written word corpus in contrast to “sukunakutomo”. As a result, “semete” is mainly placed in sentences and used in conversational sentences, and a wide range of nouns such as people, times, places, things, events, and feelings are taken as a minimum estimate, but with concrete quantitative expressions. In addition, 20 kinds of syntactic developments were found in “semete”. There are 10 types of syntactic developments that can be replaced with “sukunakutomo”, such as “adaptation assumption”, and there is a tendency that replacement is possible when the meaning of “speaker's desire for someone other than yourself” is included. There are 8 types of syntactic developments that cannot be replaced with “sukunakutomo”, such as “desire B”. If “ego”, which is the “desire for the realization of the speaker's actions”, appears in the sentence, replacement becomes impossible and there was a tendency for the usage to be “semete” only. It is necessary to proceed with the examination of “desire C” and “question” because it is difficult to judge the replacement with “sukunakutomo” from the syntactic development and the meaning of the sentence.}, pages = {17--32}, title = {副詞「せめて」の意味と用法}, volume = {16}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ナカト, リエコ} }
