| 1 | A Contrastive Approach to Discourse Particles ——A Case Study of the Mandarin UFP Ne 呢显示文摘This paper takes a contrastive approach to the analysis of the utterance-final particle(UFP) ne 呢 byisolating two core properties:(a) a necessity to look back for contrast and(b) a demand to continue.From thesetwo core properties all the meanings and interpretations can be directly or indirectly derived.On the basis of theanalysis,the paper proposes a 3-level semantic-pragmatic system for the UFP.As a particle,ne is identified as adiscourse marker to increase relevance for discourse-pragmatic purposes.When compared with the structuralschema from the grammaticalizaton point of view,the proposed pragmatic operational system shows aremarkable difference in terms of its core properties.While the historically oriented analyses take semanticproperties as the core,such as “interrogation” in Qi(2002) and “unchanged state” in Tsao(2000),the proposedsystem takes communicative functions as its core properties. | Chauncey C.Chu | 2006 | 外国语2006，29，3： | 6 |
