실제 중국어 대화의 말차례 끝 지점에서 연속으로 나타나는 어기조사의 기능

초록

This study investigates the sequencing of sentence-final particles at the end of conversational turns. An examination of such particles frequently occurring in sequence and their various aspects indicated that the sentence-final particles “de” and “le” may occur in the first and second places respectively. The remaining sentence-final particles are relegated to the third place. Further, this study differentiates the chosen sentence-final particles according to their semantic or pragmatic functions. The sentence-final particle “de” is different from the rest as it realizes semantic functions, whereas the sentence-final particle “le” exhibits both semantic and pragmatic functions. The remaining sentence-final particles realize pragmatic functions. The sentence-final particle “de” in a sequence is proposition-oriented, concerning the truth or falsity of the propositional content. The remaining sentence-final particles in a sequence are interpersonally motivated, functioning to maintain interpersonal relationships between the speaker and addressee. This study contributes to conversation analytic research by demonstrating how the use of discourse marker sequencing displays striking systematicity and orderliness. They exhibit a certain level of unity and can be deployed to accomplish a variety of interactional work that may not otherwise be possible with similar effect.
