본고는 대화의 의도성을 연구 문제로 하여, 법정 대화, 易中天, 赵薇의 인터뷰 대 화를 화용론 시각에서 분석하였다. 대화의 의도성 정도 파악은 언어 배후의 의미가 대화 전체에 미치는 영향을 이해하는 데 도움을 준다. 본고는 대화 전체 화제와 단 락 화제를 통해 의도성 정도의 일차적 판단 후, 인접쌍과 화행의 분석하여 이를 의 도성과 구체적으로 연결하였다. 분석 결과 의도성이 명확한 정도는 법정 대화 > 易 中天 > 赵薇의 인터뷰 대화 순으로 나타났다. 단계별 분석을 통하여 객관적인 분석, 도식화를 통한 인터뷰 과정을 직관적으로 관찰을 시도한 점에서 의의가 있다.

Lee, Jung-yull. 2017. “Pragmatic Functions of Amplifiers as Response Devices in Spoken American English: A Corpus-Based Analysis”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 25(2), 103~130. The verbal behaviors of amplifiers such as very much, really, pretty, particularly, very, absolutely, totally, quite are frequently represented in descriptions of interactions between speaker and hearer. The input of the main speakers was principally explicated with regard to semantic features, including collocational restrictions, by many linguists in the past. However, this study focuses on the output of hearers in different types of talk, especially elaborating on a wide variety of pragmatic roles of the amplifiers in spoken American English. For example, the amplifiers in hearers' speech play diverse pragmatic functions as bridging devices, by indicating surprise, repair, agreement, reinforcement, enthusiasm, encouragement, satisfaction, and rapport between interlocutors. Throughout the analysis, this study suggests that although these amplifiers do not ostensibly seem to have big meanings, they play significant roles in spoken discourse.

With relevance theory and coherence theory as the theoretical basis, this paper studies the pragmatic function of Chinese-Utterance final particles: a, ba and ne and claims that the discourse function of ne is stronger than a and ba. In other words, the modality meaning of a and ba is stronger than ne. This paper also studies the reason why a, ba and ne have different pragmatic functions and concludes that the meaning of ne is mainly the meaning of mood, ne has a longer history and the grammaticalization of ne is more complete while a and ba have obvious modality meaning; they have a shorter history than ne as mood particles and their grammaticalization still continues.
