This paper aims to describe a use of ‘chuushi-kei ’ (medial verb) as an independent predicate of a main clause in the Setouchi dialect spoken in the southern area of the Amami Islands. This form is known to be used in main clauses as an independent predicate form with a past tense value, which is considered to be a phenomenon of ‘desubordination’. While this kind of main clause use of the form is obligatory in question sentences, the use in declarative sentences, where the regular past tense form ‘shuushi-kei’ can also be used, has not been described fully. This paper examines the difference in uses of the two forms, ‘chuushi-kei’ and ‘shuushi-kei’, as a past tense form in declarative sentences and shows that the main clause use of ‘chuushi-kei’ seems to be restricted under the influence of its original function
