Ärade skitstövel - Den semantiska utvecklingen av japanska andrapersonspronomen
Författare
Summary, in English
Semantic change in the case of Japanese second person pronouns becomes instantly apparent to a student of the Japanese language. Words which once contained an exalting meaning may now be used only by close friends to refer to one another, if not as an insult. This thesis describes the path taken by Japanese second person pronouns such as anata and kisama and tries to pinpoint the reason as to why this negative development has occurred. In doing so, this thesis rests not only on the work of outstanding authorities on the subject, but also analyses the practical use of Japanese second person pronouns in such popular media as manga, video games, and Japanese drama.
