Through cross-cultural and cross-linguistic perspectives, this book
uncovers unexplored areas of the semantic shifts and functional
developments of discourse-pragmatic markers by examining historical
and contemporary language usage of Korean and other languages. The
discourse-pragmatic markers examined in this book evince
multifaceted and multifunctional characteristics. On the textual
level discourse-pragmatic markers build intra-textual coherence and
sequential coordination; on the interpersonal level they index the
speaker's epistemic and interpersonal stances in relation to
interlocutors and upcoming discourse. The semantic shifts
engendered through the metaphoric and metonymic processes and
functional development of these markers manifest unidirectionality
and regularity in semantic change. This book should be especially
useful to researchers as well as graduate and advanced
undergraduate students in disciplines dealing with language and
culture in general, particularly linguistics and communications.
Anyone interested in online social interaction and computer
mediated communication across cultures will find valuable insights
in this volume.
