ADVERBIALS OF UNINTENTIONAL ACTION IN JAPANESE – PRAGMATIC POTENTIAL
Abstract
This paper uses corpus data in order to track down the typical usage of Japanese adverbials of unintentional action. Their pragmatic potential is represented in connection with their meaning structure. Some additional clarifications in their speech functions are made through similar lexemes in identical surroundings. These data allow us to conclude that besides their direct speech function - denoting an unintended action - the adverbials develop a set of conventional secondary roles in pragmatics. Now, what each adverbial means is closely linked with their original semantics, classifiable into three groups - uncontrolled, unintended and accidental.
