JAPANESE INTERJECTIONS OF IMFORMATION RECEIPT: ILLOCUTIONARY POTENTIAL
Abstract
This papers deals with illocutionary status of a range of Japanese interjections, connected lexemes and speech formulae which express reaction to information accepted by a participant to the communication. We add some original observations on the situations of their use based on corpus data to the arguments already evolved by the modern Japanese linguists on account of the role of these lexemes in the information management. By doing so, we can deduce their pragmatic features such as the intentions and emotions of the speaker as well as the placement of the utterance in the speech act chain. Eventually, we are able to posit two kinds of interjections - confrontation and cooperation-oriented. The former are aimed at correcting or obstructing the vis-à-vis’ speech strategy while the latter function as backchannels.
