Abstract

Teiuka, the word that is frequently brought up as one of Japanese wonders, is a word that has various roles in Japanese spoken language. Teiuka was mainly used to rephrase things in the middle of utterances. However, nowadays teiuka could also be used at the beginning and at the end of an utterance. The functional use and the use of other forms of teiuka (such as teka, tsuuka) have also changed over time. Therefore, this study examines the usage of teiuka and the other form, teka, in actual conversations and how they shifted in 17 years. This study is corpus-based research on the use of teiuka in Japanese conversation by using diachronic perspective. Two corpora with about 17 years difference, “Nagoya University Conversation Corpus” (2001-2003) and “Corpus of Everyday Japanese Conversation” (2018-2020), were used to collect the conversation data. Using Hayashi’s (2007) five main functions of teiuka, the results showed that teiuka and teka were classified into five main functions of teiuka (1) rephrasing word, (2) rephrasing sentence, (3) omitting first or second clause, (4) topic shift, and (5) preface. Although there has been no significant change on the use of teiuka based on its functions in 17-20 years, the tendency on how to use the other forms of teiuka has changed.
