Within linguistics, there has been a great deal of interest in
discourse particles for some time now, especially within semantics
and pragmatics. The term ‘discourse particles’ has been used to
cover a broad range of phenomena, including such things as
‘sentence final particles,’ ‘discourse adverbs’ and other
related phenomena. However, most research in the area (particularly
within formal semantics and pragmatics) focuses on a restricted set
of languages, and there is little consensus on the proper formal
treatment of particles, partly due to the limited range of data
available. In recent years, there has been extensive development of
the formal approach to discourse particles, which often treats
these words as devices for marking information update. Also
important is the extension of data to non-Western languages like
Japanese, Korean or Chinese. These volumes are the first to give an
exclusive focus on particles in non-European languages (in this
case Asian languages), from the perspective of formal as well as
non-formal semantics and pragmatics. These volumes include papers
on Japanese, Mandarin, Tagalog, Kimaragang Dusun, Malay, Singlish,
Thai and Vietnamese. The papers are informed by recent theoretical
work in formal semantics and pragmatics relating to the meaning of
particles. The collection contributes to our theoretical
understanding of the meaning of discourse particles and to
empirical knowledge of discourse particles in the languages of
Asia.
