Abstract

Response signals (RS) have emerged as a powerful interaction tool, but they have yet to be fully understood. The current study analyzes 16 h of daily conversations using discourse-pragmatic frameworks to discuss certain aspects of the most prevalent primary and secondary Persian RSs. An RS is identified as a brief interactive response to a prior speaker’s statement, typically expressing (dis)confirmation, (un)acceptance, or backchannel (including assessment and continuer feedback). The research also differentiates and compares the functional and distributional differences and similarities between confirmation and backchannel signals. Following that, it takes a semasiological approach and discusses how the emergence, overlap, and markedness of certain functions for an item can be determined by the persistence of its original propositional meaning as well as the item’s grammaticalization and cooptation. The paper thus reviews the markedness of the backchannel function for na ‘no’ compared to this function’s development for ɂāre ‘yes’. Last but not least, cross-linguistic phonological tendencies, such as the integration of the phoneme /ɂ/ or /h/ in positive RSs and click sounds in negative ones, are supported by Persian RSs and their variants.

从互动角度研究波斯反应信号
回应信号(RS)已成为一种强大的互动工具,但人们对它的了解还不够全面。本研究使用话语语用框架分析了 16 小时的日常会话,讨论了最普遍的主要和次要波斯语回应信号的某些方面。RS被认为是对前面说话者的陈述的简短互动回应,通常表达(不)确认、(不)接受或后道(包括评估和继续者反馈)。研究还区分并比较了确认信号和后信道信号在功能和分布上的异同。随后,论文从语义学的角度出发,讨论了项目的某些功能的出现、重叠和标记性如何由其原始命题意义的持续性以及项目的语法化和共用化决定。因此,本文回顾了 "呐"(na)"不"(no)的后道功能的标记性,并对ɂāre "是"(yes)的后道功能的发展进行了比较。最后但并非最不重要的一点是,波斯语 RS 及其变体支持跨语言语音学趋势,如在正向 RS 中整合音素 /ɂ/ 或 /h/,在反向 RS 中整合点击音。

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
