grammar - Grammatical name of the form used before -て, -たり, -た, -た ら?


I'm looking for the Japanese name of the specific verbal form used before -て, -たり, -た, -たら:


verb      → 連用形 ren.yōkei → XXXX    →   + -て, -たり, -た, -たら

書く → 書き → 書い → 書いて, 書いたり, 書いた, 書いたら

I assume this verbal form is derived from the 連用形{れんようけい}, with specific phonetic modifications for godan verbs. (see Shimamori Reiko, Grammaire japonaise systématique.1.48 (my translation): "-て, -たり, -た, -たら are preceded by the connective base of the verb, [...] yodan verbs [...] being deeply modified [by the suffix]")


So, what's the name standing for "XXXX"? Something like "-t" form?



Answer



They are also treated as 連用形. More specifically i-type are called 連用形のイ音便. Sometimes 音便形 is used, but there are no official name.
