In talking about their life, people sometimes says that they have changed. From transcripts of the interviews with young Japanese people conducted in Japanese language, the usages of the verb "kawaru" were collected and categorized into six groups. One discourse portion includes the use of the word which can be translated "I've changed." A detailed analysis of the transcripts shows the states before and after the change and how the manner of the change is presented in the discourse.
