Description

There are a number of conjunctive particles in Japanese which are used to express paradoxical junction. Comparative studies have been conducted concerning keredomo and noni, noni and temo, temo and tatte. Although nagara and temo may also be used to express paradoxical meaning, to my knowledge there is no extant research concerning the semantic similarities and differences between the two. The meaning and the use of these particles are not completely identical; each has its own characteristics. One of the two purposes of this paper is to analyze and consider the meaning of nagara. The other purpose is to clarify in which cases nagara and temo are used properly and in which cases they can replace each other. This paper will also reveal subtle differences between these two particles.
