| Details | Abstract (short version):
This study investigates the historical development of the Sino-Japanese (SJ, hereafter) lexeme shunkan 瞬間 from a clause-internal adverbial to a clause-external discourse marker (DM, hereafter) in Japanese, from the perspective of grammaticalization. SJ lexemes have usually been used in formal registers such as Buddhism, Confucian notions, politics, legislation and administration, not constituting everyday spoken language. Given that studies on DMs have been based on spoken-oriented discourse materials, typically in conversation and historically in drama scripts (e.g., Hansen 1998; Waltereit 2011), we can propose that the written-oriented grammaticalization seen in East Asian languages is different in essence from any spoken-contact-based grammaticalization reported in many preceding studies. The data used for this survey are retrieved from a variety of corpora. |
