接続詞
whether
- (obsolete) Introducing a direct interrogative question (often with correlative or) which indicates doubt between alternatives.
- 1526, William Tyndale, trans. Bible, Mark II:
- 1616, William Shakespeare, King John, I.i:
- Used to introduce an indirect interrogative question that consists of multiple alternative possibilities (usually with correlative or).
- 1915, G[eorge] A. Birmingham [pseudonym; James Owen Hannay], chapter I, in Gossamer, New York, N.Y.: George H. Doran Company, OCLC 5661828:
- As a political system democracy seems to me extraordinarily foolish, […]. My servant is, so far as I am concerned, welcome to as many votes as he can get. […] I do not suppose that it matters much in reality whether laws are made by dukes or cornerboys, but I like, as far as possible, to associate with gentlemen in private life.
- 2012 June 19, Phil McNulty, “England 1-0 Ukraine”, in BBC Sport:
- The incident immediately revived the debate about goal-line technology, with a final decision on whether it is introduced expected to be taken in Zurich on 5 July.
- 2013 July 20, “Old soldiers?”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8845:
- Whether modern, industrial man is less or more warlike than his hunter-gatherer ancestors is impossible to determine. The machine gun is so much more lethal than the bow and arrow that comparisons are meaningless. One thing that is true, though, is that murder rates have fallen over the centuries, as policing has spread and the routine carrying of weapons has diminished.
- Without a correlative, used to introduce a simple indirect question.
- Used to introduce a disjunctive adverbial clause which qualifies the main clause of the sentence (with correlative or).
使用する際の注意点
- In traditional grammar, the clauses headed by whether in senses 2 and 3 are classified as noun clauses, and those headed by whether in sense 4 are classified as adverbial clauses.
- There is some overlap in usage between senses 2 and 3, in that a yes-or-no interrogative content clause can list the two possibilities explicitly in a number of ways:
- Do you know whether he’s coming or staying?
- Do you know whether he’s coming or not?
- Do you know whether or not he’s coming?
- Further, in the first two of these examples, the “or staying” and “or not” may be added as an afterthought (sometimes indicated in writing with a comma before), such that the whether may be uttered in sense 3 and then amended to sense 2.
- The or not can be placed after whether or after the verb, although in senses 2 and 3, or not is not required.
- Sense 4 does not have a counterpart that introduces only a single possibility and thus requires or not if no other possibilities are presented. For example,
“He’s coming, whether you like it” is ungrammatical. Grammatical versions are “He’s coming, whether you like it or not” or “He’s coming, whether you like it or dislike it”.
- The main verb in adverbial clauses with whether is sometimes in the subjunctive mood, especially if the verb is be:
