Book Synopsis Japanese Discourse Markers by : Noriko Onodera
Download or read book Japanese Discourse Markers written by Noriko Onodera and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the pioneering historical pragmatic studies of Japanese. It closely illustrates the usage and contributions of some Japanese discourse markers, and reveals their developmental history. The section on Synchronic Analysis explores the previously uninvestigated functions of some discourse markers used in Present Day Japanese. Moment by moment in on-going conversations, where culturally rigidly-defined interactional norms are highly valued, a specific marker is chosen and used by the speakers as their strategy, based on their quite subjective judgment. The section on Diachronic Analysis then demonstrates chronologically how the meanings and forms of the same markers have come into being. Results include some noticeable changes related to the strengthened intersubjectivity. This multi-dimensional study also discusses the relevance of findings to typological characteristics and productivity. Consideration is further given to why certain expressions (rather than others) become discourse markers and independent forms in Japanese.

Book Synopsis Discourse Markers by : Andreas H. Jucker
Download or read book Discourse Markers written by Andreas H. Jucker and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998-07-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of Discourse Markers so far have concentrated on either the descriptive or the theoretical parameter. This book brings together thirteen papers concerning aspects of lexical instantiations of Discourse Marking devices, ranging from functional descriptions along cognitive, attitudinal, interactive and structure signalling lines to theoretical issues arising from various properties discourse markers display cross-linguistically. Data from English, Finnish, Hebrew, Korean, and Japanese are examined. Also addressed are questions concerning overall accounts, potential sub-classifications, possible form-function correlations and the appropriateness of such frameworks as Relevance Theory for their description. Interestingly, features evident in the distribution and use of lexical discourse markers are shown to affect the assessment of such theoretical constructs as the distinction between conceptual and procedural meaning. A more sophisticated picture emerges than a simple dichotomy between the two. Studies of the grammar of Discourse Markers hence would have to take the observations and suggestions raised in this collection of papers into account.

Book Synopsis Discourse Across Languages and Cultures by : Carol Lynn Moder
Download or read book Discourse Across Languages and Cultures written by Carol Lynn Moder and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-08-31 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together for the first time research by linguists working in cross-linguistic discourse analysis and by second language researchers working in the contrastive rhetoric tradition. The collection of articles by prominent authors and younger scholars encompasses a variety of research approaches and treats numerous naturally-occurring spoken and written genres, including conversations, narratives, academic expository writing, journalism, advertising, and professional promotional texts. Languages examined include English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Urdu, Dutch, Turkish and Serbo-Croatian. Taken individually and collectively, the articles in this collection draw important conclusions concerning the roles of cognition, multilingualism, communities of practice, and linguistic typology in shaping discourse within and across cultures.
Book Synopsis Subject and Object Markings in Conversational Korean by : Taeho Kim
Download or read book Subject and Object Markings in Conversational Korean written by Taeho Kim and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the case markers ka and lul in Korean from an empirical perspective. Korean is a well-known nominative-accusative language in which the subject and object are marked by the post-nominal particles ka and lul respectively. As has long been observed, the subject and object are not always overtly marked by these particles, particularly in informal spoken Korean. In fact, the presence or absence of these particles has instigated much debate as to whether or not they are case markers, and this is still disputable. Despite many studies examining the structural properties of the case markers, there are very few studies investigating them from an empirical perspective. The case markers cannot be explained solely from structural perspectives, and discourse-based observations should also be considered in the discussion of the structural properties of the case markers. I propose two discourse-pragmatic factors, namely processing load and informational prominence, for their analysis. The earlier part of the dissertation introduces several issues that are related to the so-called case markers ka and lul, and presents the issues that are pertaining to this dissertation, e.g., when the case markers do and do not overtly occur in a clause. The later part of the dissertation discusses the data and the factors used for the analysis of the case markers in Korean. Throughout the dissertation, the observations made for the case markers in Korean were compared to those in Japanese in an attempt to delineate the differences between the two languages. In this dissertation, approximately five hours of informal two-party conversations were used for the investigation of the presence and absence of the case markers in Korean. I proposed several individual factors that are related to either processing load or informational prominence or to both. The two discourse-pragmatic factors that are used for the discussion of the case markers well capture the presence and absence of such markers, i.e ka and lul tend to overtly occur in a clause when the subject and object would represent processing load, informational prominence or both, and they tend not to overtly occur in a clause when neither of the two factors is represented by the subject and object. The approach I take for the discussion of the case markers in Korean is original, and effectively describes their presence and absence. Along with other studies of the case markers from an empirical perspective, the present study contributes empirical evidence depicting cross-linguistic differences between Korean and Japanese case markers, which still need to be further delineated, and sheds light on the discussion of the structural properties of the case markers in Korean from an empirical perspective.
Book Synopsis Discourse Phenomena in Typological Perspective by : Alessandra Barotto
Download or read book Discourse Phenomena in Typological Perspective written by Alessandra Barotto and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at investigating discourse phenomena (i.e., linguistic elements and constructions that help to manage the organization, flow, and outcome of communication) from a typological and cross-linguistic perspective. Although it is a well-established idea in functional-typological approaches that grammar is shaped by discourse use, systematic typological cross-linguistic investigations on discourse phenomena are relatively rare. This volume aims at bridging this gap, by integrating different linguistic subfields, such as discourse analysis, pragmatics, and typology. The contributions, both theoretically and empirically oriented, focus on a broad variety of discourse phenomena (ranging from discourse markers to discourse function of grammatical markers, to strategies that manage the discourse and information flow) while adopting a typological perspective and considering typologically distant languages.
Book Synopsis Crosslinguistic Studies of Clause Combining by : Ritva Laury
Download or read book Crosslinguistic Studies of Clause Combining written by Ritva Laury and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of clause combining has been advanced lately by increasing interest in the study of actual language use in a typologically diverse set of languages. A number of received understandings have been challenged, among these the idea of clause combinations as being divisible into subordination and coordination in a binary fashion. Connected to this idea is the nature of conjunctions, a topic treated in several articles here. Couched within the larger issue of the nature of categoriality in language, several of the papers show that conjunctions are highly polyfunctional items, and that clause combining is only one of the uses to which speakers put them. Other topics treated in the volume are the historical development of conjunctions and the use of formulaic main clause constructions as projective units in conversation. The articles manifest both typological and theoretical breadth. They are based on data from Bulgarian, English, Estonian, Finnish, Indonesian, Japanese, and Spanish. The theoretical approaches include discourse-functional, interactional, historical and generative linguistics.
Book Synopsis The Rise of Discourse Markers by : Bernd Heine
Download or read book The Rise of Discourse Markers written by Bernd Heine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discourse markers constitute an important part of linguistic communication, and research on this phenomenon has been a thriving field of study over the past three decades. However, a problem that has plagued this research is that these markers exhibit a number of structural characteristics that are hard to interpret based on existing methodologies, such as grammaticalization. This study argues that it is possible to explain such characteristics in a meaningful way. It presents a cross-linguistic survey of the development of discourse markers, their important role in communication, and their relation to the wider context of sociocultural behaviour, with the goal of explaining their similarities and differences across a typologically wide range of languages. By giving a clear definition of discourse markers, it aims to provide a guide for future research, making it essential reading for students and researchers in linguistics, and anyone interested in exploring this fascinating linguistic phenomenon.

Book Synopsis Involvement and Attitude in Japanese Discourse by : Naomi Ogi
Download or read book Involvement and Attitude in Japanese Discourse written by Naomi Ogi and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the long discussed issue of Japanese interactive markers (traditionally called sentence-final particles) in a new light, and provides the comprehensive linguistic documentation of the interactional functions of seven interactive markers: ne, na, yo, sa, wa, zo and ze. By adopting three key notions, ‘involvement’, ‘formality’ and ‘gender’, the study not only reveals the functions and pragmatic effects of each marker, but also sheds light on some fundamental issues of the nature of spoken discourse in general, including how speakers collaborate with each other to create and sustain their conversations and how linguistic functions of verbal forms interface with sociocultural norms. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in a wide range of linguistic fields such as Japanese linguistics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and applied linguistics and to teachers and learners of Japanese and of a second/foreign language.
