This paper aims to analyze sentences including co-occurrence of “Kakari” particles in the
classical Japanese.
Treating them as sentence patterns having their own meanings structure, we divided them
into two groups; chain forms (syntagmatic structure) and contrast forms (paradigmatic one).
Results show that on both groups, sentences having each and every combinations of particles
have its own syntactic structures, especially concerning chain forms, even in the same pair
of particles, its different order results in different sentence structures.
Further, from the perspective of the cognitive process, these types of sentences can be
divided into four categories. This suggests that patterns of co-occurrence of “Kakari” particles
reflects the cognitive schema in the classical Japanese.
Additionally, results show that some of these types of sentences, for example, “zo – ha”
chain forms and “koso ~ yaha” contrast forms, function as the sentence patterns to persuade
the hearer.
