English poetry, which used to be helpful teaching material in the prewar period, has long been virtually ignored in school education. Two reasons for this would be conceivable: one is that poetry is too difficult for students to understand who are not familiar with the rules of verse, and the other is that it is often regarded as useless or irrelevant to their preparation for entrance examinations. Are these really true? To examine this issue, the present paper reconsiders Ariumi (1938), aiming at exploring the means to make an effective use of his approach in today's English education. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 en-keyword=英詩 kn-keyword=英詩 en-keyword=有海久門 kn-keyword=有海久門 en-keyword=英語教材 kn-keyword=英語教材 en-keyword=英語教科書 kn-keyword=英語教科書 en-keyword=旧制中学校 kn-keyword=旧制中学校 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=48 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=20210331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=文学作品の大学英語教育への活用―DickensのOliver Twistの一節を中心として― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=133 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=1 end-page=11 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2006 dt-pub=2006 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Words in Vogue Seen in 18th Century Literary Works: With Special Reference to Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield kn-title=文学作品に見る18世紀の流行語 ―Goldsmith のThe Vicar of Wakefield を中心として― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The Vicar of Wakefield, Goldsmith's only novel published in 1776, embodies a wide variety of lexical features which reflect the 18th century British hierarchical society.

Although the concept of plural should logically be applied to countable nouns, there are quite a few examples found in actual use of the language where an uncountable noun takes a plural form. Some abstract nouns can be pluralized to denote individualized meanings or components, while others may be pluralized to emphasize the quality, condition or degree. The latter type is specifically called 'intensive plural' (or 'emotional plural' by some scholars). This article discusses the use of the plural of abstract nouns mainly through a corpus-based analysis of the three epistolary novels by Sanluel Richardson who is supposed to have given a remarkable influence on sentimental literature. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=抽象名詞 kn-keyword=抽象名詞 en-keyword=強意複数 kn-keyword=強意複数 en-keyword=Richardson kn-keyword=Richardson en-keyword=sentimentalism kn-keyword=sentimentalism en-keyword=ness kn-keyword=ness END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=140 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=43 end-page=54 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2009 dt-pub=20090225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Negative Expressions in Austen's Pride and Prejudice in Comparison with Richardson's Pamela kn-title=否定表現から比較するAustenのPride and PrejudiceとRichardsonのPamela en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Jane Austen inherited a rich variety of stylistic legacies from her predecessor Samuel Richardson. Among their characteristic features in common is included the use of "double negation, "the device of which is specifically called "litotes" in rhetorical terminology. The present paper examines Austen's use of negative expressions mainly through her Pride and Prejudice (1813) as our linguistic material. A comparative discussion is made,with the aid of computational analysis, on Richardson's Pamela (1740) as well as on several prose fictions from the late 17th to the early 19th century. Our purpose here is twofold : to show statistically the frequency of occurrence of fifteen negative words found in those prose fictions, and to analyse the chief stylistic effects of double negatives extensively used by Austen and Richardson. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Austen kn-keyword=Austen en-keyword=Richardson kn-keyword=Richardson en-keyword=Pride and Prejudice kn-keyword=Pride and Prejudice en-keyword=Pamera kn-keyword=Pamera en-keyword=接頭辞 un- kn-keyword=接頭辞 un- END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=149 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=33 end-page=42 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=20120225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Compounds Used as Negative Expressions: Seen through Samuel Richardson's Novels kn-title=Richardsonの小説に見る否定表現としての合成語 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In our previous several papers,we examined negative expressions in Richardson's epistolary novels mainly from the viewpoint of ''word-formation." our last paper,in particular, was devoted to considering his use of un-words. The present paper continues to discuss negative expressions further in the perspective of word-formation. This time our focus is put on the analysis of "Compounds" used as negation(including quasi-negation"). The analysis is made in three substantial sections; the first two sections provide some representative examples, with the remaining one confined to the discussion of the author's technique as a word-maker. In the process of summing up Our discussions, We hope to point out his linguistic influences on Jane Austen, aprominent female writer of the coming generation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=合成語 kn-keyword=合成語 en-keyword=否定表現 kn-keyword=否定表現 en-keyword=語形成 kn-keyword=語形成 en-keyword=Samuel Richardson kn-keyword=Samuel Richardson en-keyword=Jane Austen kn-keyword=Jane Austen END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=147 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=69 end-page=79 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2011 dt-pub=20110625 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Un-Words in Richardson's Novels kn-title=Richardsonの小説におけるun-派生語の考察 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=One of the stylistic features in Samuel Richardson's epistolary novels is an abundant variety of negative expressions.

The present paper aims at exploring Richardson's use of negative prefixes. Our focus here is put on the analysis of "un-words." Types and frequencies of the un-words examined through the corpus of Richardson's three works(i.e. Pamela, Clarissa and Sir Charles Grandison) are shown in four tables.

In succession to Wakimoto(2007c), the present paper continues to examine the terms of abuse found in Pamela. This time, our focus of discussion is on the terms used allusively or figuratively. In figurative language, a referent is substituted by another word or phrase which embodies, in a more effective way, the central features of the referent. It appears quite likely, therefore, that most, if not all, of those which are represented by such rhetorical devices as 'metaphor' or 'metonymy' give more vivid and clearer impressions. Our purpose here in this paper is twofold: first to classify some remarkable of examples of symbolic words in Pamela, and then to make a rough comparison with Fielding's two parodies of it. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Pamela kn-keyword=Pamela en-keyword=喩え kn-keyword=喩え en-keyword=悪態語 kn-keyword=悪態語 en-keyword=旧約聖書 kn-keyword=旧約聖書 en-keyword=臨時語 kn-keyword=臨時語 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=135 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=95 end-page=107 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=20070625 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Terms of Abuse in Richardson's Pamela: With a Comparative Discussion of Fielding's Shamela and Joseph Andrews kn-title=RichardsonのPamelaにおける悪態語--FieldingのShamelaとJoseph Andrewsと比較して en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Throughout its long history, the English Language has produced a wide variety of terms applied to men and/or woman, most of which are found in address forms in spoken language. Literary authors make an effective use of different terms as variation, whether abusive or endearing, to have their works reflect the colloquial language of their days. Eighteenth-century British literary works can be valuable materials for us to analyse linguistic features. The present artice aims at examining the terms of abuse in Richardson Pamela (1740) from a historical perspective. A comparative discussionis made, where necessary, on two contemporary literary works from the same perspective, in the hope of sketching out the semantic history of each term and exploring one phase of colloquialism in those days. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=悪態語 kn-keyword=悪態語 en-keyword=呼称 kn-keyword=呼称 en-keyword=18世紀 kn-keyword=18世紀 en-keyword=Pamela kn-keyword=Pamela en-keyword=pamelaのパロディ kn-keyword=pamelaのパロディ END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=144 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=75 end-page=83 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2010 dt-pub=20100625 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A Gender-Based Study of Word-Pairs in Richardson's Pamela kn-title=RichardsonのPamelaにおける性差に基づく対語について en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=English has a multitude of word-pairs based on gender differences.

The present article discusses the most basic issue of masculine and feminine tenns mainly through a historical perspective. Our linguistic material here is Samuel Richardson's Pamela (1740) which offers good examples to show gender and class differences of address forms; for its theme concerns a maid-servant's conflict against her master and his equals. We hope to explore the author's social attitudes reflected in his choice of gender-specific words. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科社会・言語教育学系英語教育講座 en-keyword=対語 kn-keyword=対語 en-keyword=ジェンダー kn-keyword=ジェンダー en-keyword=pamela kn-keyword=pamela en-keyword=呼称 kn-keyword=呼称 en-keyword=18世紀 kn-keyword=18世紀 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=46 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=13 end-page=29 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Richardson の小説における “half” の使用法 : 18 世紀の英語辞書と照らし合わせて en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=134 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=119 end-page=128 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=200703 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Lexical Features of Richardson's Pamela: With Special Reference to Word-Formation kn-title=Richardson の Pamela についての一考察 ―語形成の面から― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Samuel Richardson played an important role in the early history of British vovels. He described women's inner feelings in epistolary form with such vividness and delicacy as was never practiced by any of his predecessors. In examinig Richardson's style of his epistolary novels, therefore, we should not pass over his skillful use of emotional words. Actually, the lexical features serve as an essential constituent to make his works more interesting and appealing; for his "most characteristic linguistic innovation was in vocabulary," as Ian Wattaptly suggests in his The Rise of the Novel. The present paper aims at analyzing the lexical features in Richardson's Pamela mainly from the perspective of 'word-formation.' Various compound words in the novel, along with their derivatives, are discussed in comparison with those found in its contemporary literary works. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=語形成 kn-keyword=語形成 en-keyword=Richardson kn-keyword=Richardson en-keyword=合成語 kn-keyword=合成語 en-keyword=派生語 kn-keyword=派生語 en-keyword=18世紀 kn-keyword=18世紀 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=131 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=79 end-page=91 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2006 dt-pub=2006 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Oaths, Imprecations and Other Blasphemous Formulas in Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer and Sheridan's The Rivals en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Some people may resort to foul language like swearing and cursing to vent uncontrollably intense feelings. These profane and stigmatized expressions, which occur in a large variety of forms, have evolved for centuries and are now deep-rooted in English-sy>eaking countries. It is true that most of them have lost their original or literal senses and are used merely as meaningless expletives, but there are some which are still deemed strictly as taboo--social restrictions prohibit their use in public. This article deals with oaths, imprecations and other blasphemous formulas found in Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer (1773) and Sheridan's The Rivals (1775). Examples are sorted according to their fundamental meanings, with some statistical analyses added in a later section for further discussion. We are concerned here particularly with the linguistic features influenced by such social factors as "gender" and "class," tracing the trends in 18th century British society. We hope to elucidate what conventional formulas were widely adopted in those days and how new modes were devised by each author. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=oath kn-keyword=oath en-keyword=imprecation kn-keyword=imprecation en-keyword=swearing kn-keyword=swearing en-keyword=expletive kn-keyword=expletive en-keyword=18th c.

The purpose of this article is to explore linguistically his innovative devices for presenting speeches in Clarissa in comparison with Pamela. Our concern here is not with the extensive varieties of speech presentation, but with those which serve to demonstrate the author's creative skills. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WakimotoKyoko en-aut-sei=Wakimoto en-aut-mei=Kyoko kn-aut-name=脇本恭子 kn-aut-sei=脇本 kn-aut-mei=恭子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Clarissa kn-keyword=Clarissa en-keyword=Pamela kn-keyword=Pamela en-keyword=Richardson kn-keyword=Richardson en-keyword=話法 kn-keyword=話法 en-keyword=伝達動詞 kn-keyword=伝達動詞 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=137 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=115 end-page=124 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2008 dt-pub=20080225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A Synchronic and Diachronic Analysis of the Word 'Creature' : With Special Reference to Richardson's Epistolary Novels kn-title='Creature' についての共時的・通時的考察 -Richardson の書簡体小説を中心として- en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The present paper aims at examinig the word 'creature' from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives.
