Abstract:

Pragmatic Particles sheds new light on the linguistic theory and application
of Asian languages with a particular focus on the role of particles and their
socio-pragmatic nature. Drawing on a range of data that spans Hindi, Japanese,
Korean, Mongolian, Turkish and beyond, the multidimensionality of Asian
languages is brought to attention. Particles are central in this discourse and
their constructive, expressive and attitudinal behaviours are revealed to be
neither arbitrary nor peripheral. By branching away from a predominantly
Euro-centric discussion and covering the relevant formal and functional
foundations of syntax and semantics, this book offers an alternative lens to
the appropriate treatment of Asian languages in contemporary linguistics.
