So far, the research about adverbial modifiers of the stay in specific description of the usage of vocabulary, lack of organization and system to some extent, compared with the study of the predicate verb, it is far lagging behind. This is because from the viewpoint of sentence structure, compared to the predicate verb and noun adverbial modifier, expression is not the center of the content of the sentence, while Japanese adverb modifier forms, showing a complex, diverse, therefore, to comprehensively, systematically recording, analysis of adverbial modifier extremely difficult. The research object of this thesis is not the Japanese adverb modifiers all, but one, namely modal adjunct. Specifically, based on "event body" theory, focuses on the modal modifiers in the "event" in the work situation, semantic orientation, and modified parts -- the significance of relations between verbs. Through the analysis and research of these problems, significance, function and characteristics of trying to clear Japanese modality of modifiers, and the modal Modifier makes systematic classification. This thesis consists of the following 7 chapters. In the first chapter the prologue, prompting the research purpose, the significance of this thesis, the object, content and method. The research method of this dissertation research methods and adverbial modifiers of the former is slightly different, mainly plays the role of the situation in the "event" through the study of modality modifiers, analysis, collation between the components and the verbs modified meaning of the relationship between the main factors determining the significance, study the relationship between the two. The second chapter summarizes the different viewpoints about Japanese sentence classification in the first study, based on the introduction of the relevant modifiers used two different viewpoints, clear orientation of modal modifiers in Japanese sentences in the Constitution and the position of the thesis. At the same time, finishing, analyzed so far little research achievements and problems related to modal modifiers, indicate the research direction of this thesis. In the third chapter, firstly, based on the research in the first introduced the "modified" meaning, structure and function, defined the modal modification component definition, category and form. Secondly, confirmed the rationality analysis of modal modifiers using "event" theory. In the noun terms are represented by objects like state, modal modification component as the semantic verb expresses things associated with the verb (including human) state and in between feelings describe adverb modification usage of words three classes on the basis of the investigation of these modifiers, play a role in which our "event body", and thus lower classification. The fourth chapter to the sixth chapter respectively analyzes in detail the modal modification component of three sub classification of. First of all, in the fourth chapter, based on the "event body" theory, the semantic direction verbs express things like state "state modifier" into "student phase state modifier", "process state modifier" class two, respectively inspected the cognizance method, their characteristics and the verb the total condition etc.. In the fifth chapter, also based on "event body" theory, the semantic direction expressed by nouns objects (including people) state "status modifier" into "student phase state modifier", "process state modifier", "the results of phase state modifier" class three, respectively inspected they describe objects (including people) species, and the verb, total conditions modifying relations established process etc.. In the sixth chapter, investigated the emotional adverb modification described the use of words. Because the kind of this kind of adverbial modifier state denoted by the verb semantic can point to things, and to the noun terms are represented by the people and the verb associated mental state, so this paper will be the location for the "contact state modifier" and "modifier" state "". At the same time, from the emotional body, namely the emotional adjectives to express feelings feeling is anybody's feelings sense point of view, the emotive adjective adverbial modifier is divided into "adverbial modifier" action of cognitive subject and "narrator cognitive adverbial modifier" class two, respectively to study their characters. At the same time on their respective "event" of the situation is also discussed. In the last chapter, the seventh chapter, summarizes the research results of this thesis, expect it can bring practical value. In this paper, definition of Japanese modality modifier category, functions are clearly defined, investigates and analyses the meaning of the verb, and relationship between the total condition, try to modal modification component were systematic classification. These results if in Japanese studies, and been applied in the Japanese education, will have the honor of. Legacy as a future research will further study.
