This paper investigates the discourse particle vallë in Albanian. It provides the first in-depth description of the distribution and functional meaning of vallë. I argue that vallë is restricted to speech acts containing questions as opposed to assertions. The meaning of vallë is expressive in nature since it contributes to the non-at-issue content of the utterance and expresses speaker's attitude of wondering towards the truth of the proposition. I provide an analysis in terms of Traugott's subjectification approach, according to which vallë expresses the speaker's epistemic stance.
期刊介绍：
Since 1977, the Journal of Pragmatics has provided a forum for bringing together a wide range of research in pragmatics, including cognitive pragmatics, corpus pragmatics, experimental pragmatics, historical pragmatics, interpersonal pragmatics, multimodal pragmatics, sociopragmatics, theoretical pragmatics and related fields. Our aim is to publish innovative pragmatic scholarship from all perspectives, which contributes to theories of how speakers produce and interpret language in different contexts drawing on attested data from a wide range of languages/cultures in different parts of the world. The Journal of Pragmatics also encourages work that uses attested language data to explore the relationship between pragmatics and neighbouring research areas such as semantics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis and ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, media studies, psychology, sociology, and the philosophy of language. Alongside full-length articles, discussion notes and book reviews, the journal welcomes proposals for high quality special issues in all areas of pragmatics which make a significant contribution to a topical or developing area at the cutting-edge of research.
