- Japanese Nominative Morpheme as Negative Attitude Expression
- 概要：
-
It has been said that Japanese has two different nominative
morphemes: -ga and -wa. In previous literature a lot of
efforts went into studies to distinguish these two morphemes with
respect to semantic interpretation of subject NP. These nominative
morphemes, however, work not only as case marker. They also work to
introduce some conversational force in particular environment. In this
talk, I will look into some data where two nominative
morphemes -ga and -wa work as conjunction, which
connects two identical nouns and provides [N-nom-N]
configuration. This particular structure shows up in several kinds of
environment, but it has the same conversational force in any cases;
utterance of a sentence with [N-nom-N] represents negative attitude of
speaker for the situation where the proposition is true. I propose the
[N-nom-N] configuration is a kind of attitude expression in terms of
Heim (1992) and von Fintel (1999), and its interpretation includes
modal operator.
