À propos de として

When the case marking particle と is used to highlight a result, it regularly translates to 'as' in English. This nuance of 'as' simply assumes that (A) is a plain or unchanging fact from which something (usually an opinion or evaluation) is based. Combining this nuance of と with して (the conjugation form of する), として will present (A) as the base point from which (B) can be determined.

Despite being a combination of several individual parts, として is often considered to be a 副助詞(ふくじょし) (adverbial particle) by itself, meaning that it will most often be seen connected directly to nouns.

As として works in the same way as a 副助詞(ふくじょし), it may be connected directly to a second noun to express that (B) is something functioning as (A).

Fun Fact

This result use of と regularly appears when one particular aspect of something is being highlighted (while other aspects still exist). This simply means that nothing apart from (A) is being considered when expressing (B).

        だと can also be used here, but として feels more natural.

        The difference is minimal, as in English:

        The castle Malbork is known as (in the role of, refers to the function) one of the biggest castles from the Middle Ages.
        vs
        The castle Malbork is known to be one of the biggest castles from the Middle Ages.

        The use of の after として confuses me. as in 私たちは先生としての彼を尊敬します。Why is it there, and how can として take possession of something, seeing as it is also considered a particle. shouldn’t it 私の先生として彼を尊敬します to mean “As our teacher” “We respect him as our teacher”. Is there something I’m missing or just isn’t explained here?

        “As our teacher, he/she respects him” (your teacher is the one doing the respecting to him)

        “We respect him as a teacher” (We, him as a teacher, we respect)
