<br>
I am currently looking at Remind-Me particles (particles which express <br>
that the speaker is asking for an information they used to know but forgot, <br>
like English "again" in "What's your name again?") across languages. <br>
Specifically, I am interested in Remind-Me particles (i) which have another <br>
(canonical) meaning when used in other contexts, and (ii) whose <br>
other/canonical meaning is not "again".<br>
<br>
For instance, French Remind-Me particle is "déjà" ("already"): "Comment tu <br>
t'appelles toi déjà ?" (literally "What's your name already?") is <br>
interpreted as "What's your name again? (I forgot)".<br>
<br>
If you know of any such particle (which can have a Remind-Me use, and which <br>
does not mean "again") in your native language or the language(s) you're <br>
working on, please write to me :-)<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your help!<br>
Best,<br>
Jeanne Lecavelier<br>
