A Corpus-Based Collocation Analysis of Synonymous Verbs - Hatasu(果たす) and Tukusu(尽くす) -

This paper analyzes the collocations of synonymous verbs hatasu and tukusu in Japanese as examples. Hatasu and tukusu are vocabulary words under Level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test(JLPT), and advancedlevel learners need to be able to distinguish their meaning from each other when using the verbs. Based on the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese(BCCWJ), the present study suggested frequency and occurrence rates from a list of postpositions and nouns, which mainly make collocations with the two verbs. Then, using three statistical indicators, this author presented each indicator’s features and collocations. Last, the results of frequency and occurrence rates extracted from the corpus’s register and genre demonstrated that the register and genre where the two verbs appear often are different although they are synonymous verbs. It would be possible to use as empirical information these findings which clarify each collocation’s different features, seven though the two verbs are synonyms.
