- 요약This dissertation investigates the use of first-person singular pronouns in Japanese conversations and essays from usage-based approaches. The Japanese language allows for many forms of non-overt arguments, including non-overt first-person singular pronouns. While previous studies have tended to focus on the unmarkedness of non-overt first-person singular pronouns, few studies have investigated the actual use of first-person singular pronouns. Furthermore, even fewer studies have focused on usage across different modes (e.g., spoken and written discourse) and genres (e.g., conversations, public speeches, essays, expository writing, etc.) of discourse. Exploring this understudied use of first-person singular pronouns across different modes and genres of discourse thus contributes to usage-based approaches.Grounded in the interdisciplinary orientation of usage-based approaches, this study adopts multiple methodologies to explore the use of first-person singular pronouns in conversations and essays. Conversations consist of spontaneous, interactive, and unplanned discourse collaboratively constructed by multiple parties, while essays are planned discourses written by single writers. Based on these differences in the nature of each mode, the study specifically draws on Interactional Linguistics (Couper-Kuhlen & Selting, 2001, 2017) and Conversation Analysis (Sacks et al., 1974) to analyze conversational data by focusing on the use of these pronouns in interactional contingencies among multiple parties. Simultaneously, it employs a discourse analytical-perspective, including Rhetorical Structure Theory (Mann & Thompson, 1987), to analyze essay data by examining the usage of these pronouns with reference to the rhetorical organizations of the texts.This study analyzes how the unit of "turns" in conversations and "segments" in essays that include first-person singular pronouns work when speakers and writers make assertions (Vatanen et al., 2021) and initiate their narrative of personal experience. The findings reveal that in conversations, turns with first-person singular pronouns (1) account for not aligning with the structure of the conversation by demonstrating epistemic authority, (2) display a personal and strong internal description without any explicit formulation for soliciting agreement, and (3) change the participation framework in specific sequential contexts. In essay data, the segment with first-person singular pronouns serves to articulate the main point of the essay or to facilitate the readers' understanding of the content. In addition, these data show that the turns and the segments including a first-person singular pronoun exhibit different morphosyntactic features that are associated with how these units with the first-person singular pronoun work within each dataset.
