This paper take up various usage in modern Japanese Mazu-mazu. And I will try to explain it. From the viewpoint of syntax, we can divide the usage of modern Japanese Mazu-mazu into four. The first one is to modify the whole sentence (A usage). The second is a usage that Mazu-mazu works as a predicate (B usage). The third is a usage modifying a noun (C usage). The fourth is a usage modifying the predicate (D usage). "Mazu-mazu" of A usage is used in two meanings. One is "to indicate that the matter described in subsequent section is taken over with priority". The other is "to indicate th at the matter to be described in subsequent section is certain". The former is an emphasis expression of the adverb Mazu. The mark of "sequence" of Mazu also exists in Mazu-mazu. Therefore, it can express "taking precedence". The latter Mazu-mazu has become slightly dilute in the meaning of "sequence" and it has become meaningful to show "indicate the thing that can be judged as the most reasonable (high certainty)". In other words, first, Mazu-mazu of A usage is based on "sequence", has a meaning to take up events of the later sentence as a priority, and the interpretation of "validity" is added to it. As a result, "Mazu-mazu" has made it possible to show that the content of subsequent sections is high in certainty. "Mazu-mazu" of B usage and C usage is to evaluate that speakers have a high degree of content for topics. For example, "physical condition is Mazu-mazu" and "showed a Mazu-mazu play "indicate that" physical condition "and" play "are good enough for the speaker to convince. It seems that " Mazu-mazu" of D usage plays a role of somewhat suppressing the degree of the word to be modified. For example, when saying "It was Mazu-mazu interesting", it seems that it is lowering the level of interest rather than saying "It was interesting." For that, Mazu-mazu of B usage and C usage has a positive meaning, Mazumazu of D usage seems to have a negative meaning. However, these are not inconsistent. Because Mazumazu is based on the meaning of "validity". B usage, C usage, D usage are all "levels that the speake r considers to be reasonable". Therefore, it can be concluded that modern Japanese Mazu-mazu has a role to show "valibity" of the topic of speakers in all usage.
