Abstract:

"The Emergence of Pragmatic Markers from Chinese Compounds in Chinese,
Japanese and Korean" offers a new perspective on the evolution of
pragmatic markers in language contact and grammaticalization, drawing
on data-driven and diachronic studies of Chinese compounds. All the
contributors to this volume address the issue of whether compounds of
Chinese origin have grammaticalized into discourse markers or
pragmatic markers from their earlier lexical forms, either similarly
across these languages or in distinct, language-specific ways. The
findings presented in this volume suggest that the
written-contact-based grammaticalization in these East Asian languages
is fundamentally different from the spoken-contact-based
grammaticalization reported in many previous studies.
The thematic volume is intended for discourse-functional linguists
interested in historical linguistics, historical pragmatics,
grammaticalization, linguistic typology, formulaic expressions, as
well as discourse-pragmatic markers.
