A continuation-based analysis of contrastive wa in Japanese

研究成果: Paper › 査読

抄録

This paper proposes an analysis of contrastive wa in Japanese using continuations. In this paper wa is treated as a type-shifter, which "continuizes" the element attached to it. Semantically and pragmatically, wa does not do anything when it is used as a thematic wa. However, it gives a special focus semantic value when it is used as so-called contrastive wa: a set of sets of propositions. The proposed analysis can also handle multiple contrastive topics (CTs) and wa-phrases appearing in the designated topic position.
