Class 2: Classifying movement in context

1. Compare your class 1 judgments

Open the text at Soranoha or the local text copy. Choose one passage from your class 1 notes. Work in pairs to compare your judgments about who moves and whether the movement happens. Where your judgments differ, show the wording that supports each judgment. If you have no partner, compare your judgment of the 下りろ passage with the class 1 judgment (a command to descend; whether the descent happened is not stated).

2. Record a judgment and its evidence

Annotation pairs a passage with labels.

Open the movement worksheet. Loading the worksheet for the first time requires an internet connection. Save your work before closing or reloading. See Saving and reopening.

Use the narrator’s perspective throughout. Record one movement expression per row; read its full paragraph before labeling it.

The worksheet supplies the expression and location. Fill these four fields:

If you cannot decide, enter “Defer judgment” and explain why in Evidence. This differs from judging that the narrator leaves it unspecified.

Example: in のぼれなくなってしまいました, Kandata cannot continue climbing. Record actor “Kandata”, direction “up”, judgment “Does not happen / did not happen” (CT-), with のぼれなく as evidence.

Classification reference: these criteria, code meanings, and optional research background.

3. Classify, compare, and revise

1. Classify the six rows independently, including the example above. Each expression’s full paragraph is available in the worksheet.
2. Save your worksheet, open your partner’s saved file in worksheet section 4, and compare your labels before changing them. If no partner file is available, save the sample worksheet and open it in the same section 4. The sample is a teaching example, one possible reading. Opening it in section 4 keeps your own answers.
3. Choose one disagreement or difficult case and check the judgments against the paragraph.
4. Write one revised criterion; keep the original judgment and reason for the change.
5. Apply that criterion to the seventh row, 元の地獄へ落ちてしまった (part 三).

4. Count the labeled occurrences

1. Count the first six rows by direction and movement judgment.
2. Count only the rows labeled both “up” and “Happens / happened” (CT+).

State which rows you included and how many remain unresolved.

These are expression counts: the fall in parts 二 and 三 may be the same event. Counting units illustrated.

5. Search in a terminal

Open your terminal. Type one line at a time, keeping the spaces and straight quotes shown. The download overwrites story.txt in that folder. Keep annotations in a separate file.

mkdir -p dh-b-2026
cd dh-b-2026
curl -fL -o story.txt https://soranoha.org/works/000092_000879/plaintext
grep --color=auto -nF 'のぼ' story.txt

If downloading fails, save the local text copy as story.txt in the working folder.

The output displays matching lines with line numbers. Read the paragraph containing あのぼんやり: does that match express movement? Text-search command reference: command meanings and help with errors.

Homework: check the search results against the worksheet

Allow 20–30 minutes. Bring these records to the next class; no advance submission is due.

1. Run grep --color=auto -nF 'のぼ' story.txt and grep --color=auto -nF '落ち' story.txt. Paste both commands and their outputs into your notes.
2. Read each output line and list every expression containing のぼ or 落ち: there are 12 for のぼ and 5 for 落ち. For each occurrence, record whether it appears in the worksheet’s seven rows and whether it expresses movement.
3. From the movement expressions not in the worksheet, choose one upward and one downward. Using the criterion revised in class, record the expression, location, Actor, Direction, Movement judgment, and Evidence.
4. In one sentence, state whether you could classify these two occurrences using the revised criterion and, if not, what information or criterion is missing.

Optional: save search output to a file.

If a terminal is unavailable, search the local text copy in your browser. Keep both search strings and matching passages, and record that you used browser search.
