This thesis analyzes and examines the meanings and the functions of “toori” in modern Japanese based on practical examples sentences. Most studies show that “toori” is connected after a noun and a verb to indicate the meaning of “same”, but in perspective of meaning change and limitation of form, no previous research has presented on the definite relationship among the following three cases: ① the case of a noun usage, ② the case of postposition, and ③ the case of conjunctive particle. This paper aims to examine the meanings and the functions of these three cases. The results are as follows. First, when used as a noun usage, “toori” indicates the spatial meaning of “passage, street” pointed by the front noun. “N+toori” can take various cases. Second, when used as a postposition, it indicates the meaning of “same” that the front noun points out. Morphologically, it is limited to two forms: “N+toori” and “N+toorini”. Third, when used as a conjunctive particle, it indicates the meaning of “same” that the font verb points out. Morphologically, it is limited to two forms: “V+toori” and “V+toorini”. From the above results, “toori” in modern Japanese was analyzed to have the meanings and the functions of postposition or conjunctive particle in addition to the basic meaning of “passage, street” as a noun usage. When “toori” in the noun usage becomes a postposition or a conjunctive particle, changes occur in terms of form and meaning.
