Abstract:

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.
