A Corpus-Based Study of the Japanese Gairaigo Suffix-furi
Using the news database to examine the Japanese gairaigo suffix-furi,the present study finds that-furi has been increasingly inclusive of preceding morphemes.Furthermore,its word-formation power has greatly improved over the past 30 years and is expected to keep on creating more words in the future.When-furi is used in a negative sense,it has the semantic feature of transforming for the better,so words ending with furi tend to have a positive meaning.This unique language sense makes-furi different from the near-synonymous suffix-lesu.
