Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Within linguistics there has been a great deal of interest in discourse particles for some time now especially within semantics and pragmatics. The term ‘discourse particles’ has been used to cover a broad range of phenomena including such things as ‘sentence final particles ’ ‘discourse adverbs’ and other related phenomena. However most research in the area (particularly within formal semantics and pragmatics) focuses on a restricted set of languages and there is little consensus on the proper formal treatment of particles partly due to the limited range of data available. In recent years there has been extensive development of the formal approach to discourse particles which often treats these words as devices for marking information update. Also important is the extension of data to non-Western languages like Japanese Korean or Chinese. These volumes are the first to give an exclusive focus on particles in non-European languages (in this case Asian languages) from the perspective of formal as well as non-formal semantics and pragmatics. These volumes include papers on Japanese Mandarin Tagalog Kimaragang Dusun Malay Singlish Thai and Vietnamese. The papers are informed by recent theoretical work in formal semantics and pragmatics relating to the meaning of particles. The collection contributes to our theoretical understanding of the meaning of discourse particles and to empirical knowledge of discourse particles in the languages of Asia. | Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language gender differentiation and social variation in speech. In this study David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as uniform homogenous systems. However there has always been an opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts: casual conversations interviews newspaper reports official memoranda television commercials and extracts from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts can be seen as the sites where tensions between competing discourses stemming from different social positions and perspectives are illustrated. | Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language
