Rhetoric of “Will I See You?”: Based on an Analysis of Fictional Conversations
Hirano, Junya,Matsumoto, Tomoko 영상영어교육학회 2019 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.20 No.4
where causal usage overshadows formality, will is regularly used instead of shall because shall sounds too formal. Since it becomes hard to distinguish will from other modal verbs, the rhetorical impact of will in the question “Will I see you tonight?” has been lost. This paper analyzes the rhetoric of “Will I see you tonight?” by restoring the original characteristic of will that is often overlooked in casual English usage. To accomplish this goal, this paper focuses on the first-person subject question with will and its illogical nature of asking the hearer about the speaker’s own will. The aim of the authors is to show how this illogical nature is tied to its rhetorical meaning, by extracting a number of examples such as movie dialogues and lyrics. “Will I see you tonight?” is not a sheer question but a powerfully rhetorical statement because this question demands the speaker pours his/her heart out, no matter what kind of consequence awaits. “Will I see you tonight?” is neither challenging nor accusatory but instead is illogical. It is for this reason that it works as an extremely romantic proposal.
Bridging Grammar and Communication: Focusing on the Preposition Of
Hirano. Junya,Matsumoto. Tomoko 영상영어교육학회 2018 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.19 No.2
Focusing on the preposition of, this paper proposes a new method of grammar instruction to strengthen students’ understanding of grammar rules, as well as their communication abilities. It is important for scholars and teachers to find a way to improve grammar teaching methods because they have not changed for several decades, while methodologies for improving students’ communication skills have been discussed widely. Even ESL teachers who predominantly employ communication-centered teaching techniques rely on mechanistic methods to teach grammar, requiring students to memorize grammatical rules. The new grammar instruction method consists of two processes: understanding the essence of a particular rule and applying the understanding to a film dialog to see how grammatical rules are employed correctly in communicative settings. Understanding the essence of grammatical rules enables students to improve their communication skills and abilities; it also does not require them to memorize grammatical rules. Furthermore, film dialogs enable learners to understand the importance of context and setting in the process of communication. To demonstrate how this new method works, the paper explains the essential meaning of of as a part of a larger whole, and shows how the essential meaning is employed in film dialog.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF L - THEANINE (SUNTHEANINE™), AN AMINO ACID OF GREEN TEA, IN HUMANS

L-theanine is a unique amino acid, found almost solely in tea plants. It is the main component responsible for the exotic taste of green tea. In our studies of L-theanine, we have found a variety of biological activities including relaxation and the alleviation of PMS.<br/> In general, animals generate very weak electric pulses on the surface of the brain, called brain waves. Brain waves are classified into four types, namely α, β, δ and θ-waves, based on their frequency. Brain waves correlate with individual mental conditions. For example, generation of α-waves is considered an index of relaxation. In human volunteers, a-waves were generated on the occipital and parietal regions of the brain surface within 40 minutes after the oral administration of 50 or 200 ㎎ Suntheanine™ without causing drowsiness.<br/> Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a symptom unique to women which appears in the luteal phase from the ovulation period through the first day of menstruation. It possesses characteristics of having a peak just prior to menstruation and disappearing 1 - 2 days following the start of menstruation. Symptoms of PMS are generally categorized as mental, physical and social symptoms. When comparing the reported Symptoms of PMS by the methods of MDQ score, the Suntheanine™ group was found to have a lower incidence of PMS symptoms, including physical, mental and social symptoms. Overall, a significant alleviation of PMS symptoms by the administration of 200 ㎎ Suntheanine™ was observed.<br/> With the successful industrial production of L-theanine, we are now able to supply Suntheanine™, offering a tremendous opportunity for designing functional foods targeting relaxation and the alleviation of PMS.
