Abstract

The fact that transitive verbs and intransitive verbs in Japanese can describe events from different perspectives is a very unique phenomenon in terms of languages.The transitive verbs and intransitive verbs frequently appear in pair and are quite stable.But some verbs perse have both transitive and intransitive characteristics,and some verbs are not stable in transitive and intransitive characteristics,so conditions for using them are quite complicated.The transitive verbs and intransitive verbs have close relationship with voices.There are many different perspectives to look at transitive verbs and intransitive verbs.In nature,they reflect focus of concern from people who are talking,or in other words,the problem of where to put attention,so it's called by writerfocus angle.And they excellently embody that Japanese are very careful about psychological conditions of two sides of in ordinary real life,so it's called communication angel.Besides,the usage of transitive verbs and intransitive verbs relate to grammatical studies and semantics,so it completely exhibits how to maintain overall of language,thus it's called equilibrium angel.In addition,the intransitive verbs of Japanese comprise meaning of possibleandpassiveunder many circumstances,so it's called by writer the possible and passive angel of intransitive verbs.
