Abstract:

Linguistic Emotivity explores expressive and emotive meanings in
Japanese from the perspective of the Place of Negotiation theory. The
Place of Negotiation theory provides a framework for understanding how
linguistic signs function in the place of communication (in cognitive,
emotive, and interactional places). The theory finds the indexicality
of a sign fundamental and views meanings as being negotiated among
interactants who share not only information but, more significantly,
feelings.  Using analytical tools recognized in conversation and
discourse analyses, the book analyzes emotive topics (vocatives,
emotive nominals, quotative topics, etc.) and emotive comments (da and
ja-nai, interrogatives, stylistic shifts, etc.) in contemporary
Japanese discourse. It argues for the importance of emotivity in
Japanese, in the context of the Japanese culture of pathos. Linguistic
Emotivity challenges the traditional view of language that privileges
logos, form, information, and abstraction, and instead, it proposes a
philosophical shift toward pathos, expression, emotion, and linguistic
event/action.
