Noun
擬情語 • (gijōgo)
- an ideophone that represents human emotion; a psychomime
1994, Sakurai Yumi, “Gijōgo no keitaiteki bunrui no kokoromi ”, in Gengo bunka to Nihongo kyōiku, page 26:
- いわゆる、イライラスル・ウキウキスル・ハラハラスル、などであるが、日常的にはこの擬情語を使った感情表現が多く見られる。そしてこの擬情語は、感情形容詞と同じように主語の人称に制限があることが知られている。
- Iwayuru, iraira suru ukiuki suru harahara suru, nado de aru ga, nichijōteki ni wa kono gijōgo o tsukatta kanjō hyōgen ga ōku mirareru. Soshite kono gijōgo wa, kanjō keiyōshi to onaji yō ni shugo no ninshō ni seigen ga aru koto ga shirarete iru.
- Examples include iraira suru , ukiuki suru , harahara suru and so on. In everyday speech, use of such ideophones is ubiquitous. Furthermore, it is known that gijōgo ideophones, like emotion-related adjectives, have a restriction on the person of the subject.
