Abstract

Yamato-monogatari has a unique way of poetical expression which contributes much to its vivid representation of medieval life. Its unconventional wordage was completed through a series of transformational processes rhetorically exerted on the ordinary syntax of language. Far from being immature, as is often said, the poetical language of the story consists of a highly skilled combination of rhetoric and wordplay.
