4:40 p.m.–5:30 p.m. — Keynote Session (The Fens Room)Keynote Presentation: Epistemic Asymmetry and Involvement: Another Look at the Sentence-final
Particle yone
Naomi McGloin, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Sentence-final particles have been the subject of many studies. Ne and yo, in particular, have been intensively investigated fromvarious perspectives. Ogi (2017) roughly divides these studies into five groups: syntactic, cognitive (e.g., Kamio 1990; Takubo &Kinsui 1996), illocutionary force (Uyeno 1971), Interactional (e.g., Morita 2005; Hayano 2013) and social (e.g., Cook 1992). The
particle yone, on the other hand, has been less studied, although substantial works do exist, represented by Hasunuma 1992,
Nazikian 1996 & 2018, Izuhara 2003, Ohso 2005, Asano-Cavanagh 2011, Saigo 2011, Hayano 2013, and Xu 2016. Since bothyone and ne are said to have the function of seeking confirmation or agreement, or showing rapport, the difference between
yone and ne has been somewhat elusive. In the present presentation, I will attempt to delineate their usages, in conjunction
with the notion of ‘involvement’ as developed in Lee (2007) and Ogi (2017). I will also briefly touch upon how these items aredealt with in Japanese textbooks and will reflect on how we can make such findings relevant for Japanese language teaching.
