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.
