| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we describe some of the phonological characteristics of discourse markers in naturally occurring utterances of Japanese. In particular, our description is specifically aimed at a characterization of prosodic features of such utterances as hai, un, ee. For the phonological characterization of prosodic features, we introduce a representational framework, in terms of which we describe the characteristic prosody patterns of discourse markers. Our analysis of actual data shows that our characterization within our domain has promising empirical merit, giving correct prediction for high percentage of the token instances. A new way of characterizing the subset of discourse markers is also touched upon. |
