This paper deals sith the usage of noun-modifying clauses in discourse. Otsuka (1997) classified the noun-modifying clauses into three types in terms of "given information" and "new information, " and showed that each type has its own function in discourse. In this paper, however, it is shown that " background" could be the basic function of noun-modifying clauses in discourse.}, pages = {135--151}, title = {表現方法としての名詞修飾節 : 日本語教育の中で}, volume = {35}, year = {1998}, yomi = {オオツカ, ヨウコ} }
