本稿は「高校生川柳」を対象として、「語彙」と「主題」という観点から、今を生きる日本の高校生の言語表現の特徴を分析し、彼らの胸の内に映じた心象風景の一端を描き出そうとした。その結果、まず語彙という観点では「母」が最も多く用いられており、そのほか、家族と自分に関する語彙、季節․天候に関する語彙、家族以外の身近な人々に関する語彙、情意的語彙、言語表現に関する語彙など、多様な語彙に様々な意味や心情を託し、巧みな比喩や諷刺、ユーモアなどを用いて、自らの心の奥にある世界観を見事に表現していた。また、主題という観点では、勉強․受験に関する内容が最も多くを占めたが、そのほかにも学校生活や家族との関係、日常生活から社会問題におよぶまで、多岐にわたる分野の事柄を題材としており、彼らの関心の幅広さが表れていた。そして、作品全般を通して、様々な現実の課題に悩みながらも、夢を持って一歩一歩、懸命に生きる日本の高校生の様子が、生き生きと描かれていた。


The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the vocabulary used by Japanese high school students in modern society, centering on “High School Students’ senryu,” and imagined scenery. With respect to vocabulary, the results of the analysis showed that the most commonly used word was “mother,” and other frequently used vocabulary included words that were related to one’s family and oneself, weather and seasons, people around oneself other than one’s family, as well as sentimental words and words related to linguistic expressions. Students used diverse vocabulary to convey various meanings and sentiments and even used figure of speech, satire, and humor to express their worldviews. The most common theme, on the other hand, was related to studying and college entrance. Other common themes were school life, family relationships, and social issues. A wide range of themes were touched upon, showing that the students had broad interests. In all of the works, it was revealed that the students were striving toward their dreams despite the various real challenges and issues they were dealing with.
