Questions in Japanese Discourse: Discussion and Conclusion -- References -- Index."Questions and interrogatives in Japanese discourse have attracted considerable interest from grammarians, but the communicative aspect has received little attention. This book fills this gap. Through detailed analyses of formal and informal interactions, it demonstrates that the inherent multi-functional and polysemous aspect of language can also be observed in the use of questions. The book shows how questions are used to perform a wide range of social actions and how varied in form they are. Similarly, it demonstrates the importance of the context on the speakers' choice of question types, which, in turn, contribute to creating a particular stance that characterizes those interactions.The data used in the book shows that speakers prefer questions that are not canonical. When speakers do use canonical questions, they are overwhelmingly accompanied by some mollifiers. This phenomenon suggests that in Japanese communication the illocutionary force of canonical questions is too strong. To soften the interaction, speakers tend to use other types of interrogative forms such as statements with rising intonation, or at least, leave questions grammatically unfinished. The findings in this book contribute to the understanding of how Japanese speakers use questions in different communicative interactions and provide new evidence of the gap between prescriptive grammar and actual communication."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Japanese languageInterrogativeJapanese languageDiscourse analysisSociolinguisticslinguisticsJapanese languageInterrogative.Japanese languageDiscourse analysis.Sociolinguistics.495.6/5LAN009050LAN009030bisacshTanaka Lidia1468746UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910787155103321Japanese questions3791230UNINA01111nam0 22002771i 450 UON0016038020231205103005.25720020604d1989 |0itac50 bajpnJP||||p |||||Some to ori no bunkashiKirihata KenNihon Hoso KyokaiTokyoNihon Hoso Shuppan Kyokai1989141 p.ill.21 cm001UON001603792001 NHK shimin daigaku210 TokyoNihon Hoso Shuppan Kyokai.1989, 1-3ARTI TESSILIGIAPPONEUONC002898FIJPTōkyōUONL000031GIA IX FGIAPPONE - ARTI - TESSUTIAKIRIHATA KenUONV094668674288Nihon Hoso Shuppan KyokaiUONV254117650ITSOL20240220RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00160380SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI GIA IX F 007 SI SA 105165 7 007 Some to ori no bunkashi1284210UNIOR
