CCG of Japanese Sentence-final Particles
vs. Aim To provide formalization of Japanese sentence-final particles in the framework of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) (Steedman 1996, 2000, Szabolcsi 1987). Proposal I analyze particles such as yo and ne as verum focus operators (Höhle 1992, Romero & Han 2004). Previous Work There has not been much formal descriptions of these sentence-final particles so far. • Masuoka & Takubo (1992) ...

متن کاملInitialness of Sentence-final Particles in Mandarin Chinese
This paper gives a thorough investigation into Mandarin sentence-final particles (henceforth SFPs). First I induce core grammatical functions and semantic interpretations of SFPs. Based on Rizzi’s (1997) Split CP hypothesis, I make some modifications to accommodate Mandarin SFPs and map them onto separate functional heads within a proper hierarchy. I also examine some empirical evidence of head...
متن کاملSegmentless Sentence-Final Particles in Cantonese: An Experimental Study
A sentence-final particle (SFP, henceforth) is an optional component for a sentence in Cantonese. Traditionally an SFP contains at least one independent segment. The present study proposes that for sentences without a segmental SFP, sentencefinal intonation can act as a segmentless SFP. Systematical acoustic experiment was conducted based on this assumption. Two cross-cutting dichotomies were c...
متن کاملCantonese sentence-final particles and the CP domain*
This paper proposes two syntactic positions for the wide range of Cantonese sentence-final particles that occur in the CP domain. The first position that I argue for is identified with the Force head (SFP1) of the C space (à la Rizzi 1997) which hosts particles that express speech acts and speaker-oriented modality. The second position (SFP2) is an iterative head located lower than the higher T...
