This thesis is about the usage of evaluation among various usages of sentencefinalparticle ｢ne｣ and ｢yone｣ in view of politeness. As a result of the research,sentence-final particle ｢ne｣ and ｢yone｣ have the function of consideration forlisteners in common; however, there are subtle differences between them. In case of , the usage of sentence-final particle ｢ne｣ is preferredover ｢yone｣. It has something to do with the fact that the usage of ｢yone｣ is restrictedin the same way found in the example sentence (2). In some cases, it is found that｢yone｣ is used when the speaker re-evaluates the listener, which makes differencewith the usage of ｢ne｣. In case of , ｢yona｣ is used instead of ｢yone｣. When eitherpostposition ｢ne｣ or ｢yone｣ is used with adverb ｢yoku｣ (which is an ironicalexpression), or adverb ｢mo｣ (which is a euphemistic expression), the negativeevaluation can be delivered in a roundabout way. This is associated with Leech'stheory ｢approbation maxim｣.
