This thesis is a study on the contrastive analysis of degree adverbs syntatically and semantically in Korean and Japanese. Especially, it pursues the conditions of co-occurrence between degree adverbs and modified words, and contrasts two languages by means of subclassifying lexicons of degree adverbs in various points of view. In general, degree adverbs of these two languages show inter-similarities in several aspects: distributions, functions, sub- categories, and etc. The summary of correspondence between these two is as follows. 1. The semantic characteristics and co-occurrence restrictions of modified words 2. The [-degree] property of modified words 3. The modality and category of modified word 4. The grammatical, semantic characteristics of degree adverbs 5. The mood fuction of degree adverbs 6. The functional transition of degree adverbs 7. The classificatory criterion of degree adverbs 8. The sub-categories of degree adverbs The result of this study is valuable enough to present the possibility of complement and application between the corresponding points in the contrastive linguistics of Korean and Japanese.
