Abstract

‘Atode’ and ‘nochihodo’ are among the temporal adverbs studied in Japanese. The data comes from the https://corpora.uni-leipzig.de/en?corpusId=jpn corpus. Data were collected using a combined method with both quantitative and qualitative observations, recorded and classified using AntConc for concordance. The analysis used a joint display strategy to present results both quantitatively and qualitatively. This study aims to discuss ‘atode’ and ‘nochihodo’ through joint display collection and analysis. The results, drawn from the 2023 Japanese news corpus, show that ‘atode’ appears more frequently than ‘nochihodo.’ Both adverbs are classified as sequential-durative (posterior) with atelic time ranges that are not clearly defined. However, ‘atode’ also occurs in telic time ranges in informal situations, while ‘nochihodo’ is only found in atelic events within formal contexts.
