片歌論 = A Study on the Uniqueness of KATAUTA

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

5·7·7 rhyme song of ancient Japanese song is named KATAUTA meaning of part song. It has been recognized as a part of a song sung in a form of question-answer and was denied its uniqueness.
This thesis is intended to prove the fact that this song is the unique and independent single song as it was originated from the religious rituals.
As the song has dual quality; the uniqueness and stability in inverse state, there is a tendency that the uniqueness is lost when the stability is obtained and vice versa.
In case of the song as a part of SAEDOUKA sung by a person, it loses its uniqueness instead of obtaining the stability In case that the song sung by two persons in the form of question and answer, it sustains both the stability and the uniqueness on halves. When it was presented in the form of the solo sung sung by one person, it plays the role of the concluding song at the end of series songs.
Keeping track of the origin of the song sung by one person, it is founded out that these songs are monologues of God descended in religious rituals, a part of which is the single song with divine message.
Accordingly, this song is a unique form of expression that is used ancient religious rituals.
