Open AccessThe present papers offers a case study of a Japanese loanword verb, with the aim of contributing to corpus-based research on Japanese loanwords and of providing a foundation for the compilation of a dictionary of grammatical patterns of loanwords for learners of Japanese as a foreign language. The case study presents an analysis of actual usage of loanword suru-verbs in the large-scale Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese, which is followed by a detailed analysis of all examples of the polysemous verb katto-suru. It is thereby shown how corpora can help in describing loanwords by matching a word’s meaning with its patterns of usage, and how such a description can be useful to learners of Japanese as a foreign language.
Pričujoči članek predstavlja študijo primera japonskega glagola tujega izvora, z namenom prispevati h korpusno-osnovanim raziskavam japonskih tujk in obenem predlagati osnovne smernice za sestavo slovarja slovničnih vzorcev japonskih tujk za učence japonščine kot tujega jezika. Predstavljena je analiza rabe samostalniških glagolov na -suru v velikem uravnoteženem korpusu sodobne pisne japonščine (BCCWJ), čemur sledi podrobna analiza vseh primerov večpomenskega glagola katto-suru. S tem je prikazano, kako lahko uporaba korpusa pripomore k opisu tujk z vzporejanjem podpomenov in vzorcev rabe posameznih besed ter kako lahko tak opis koristi učencem japonščine kot tujega jezika.
