This book fills this gap. Through detailed analyses of formal and informal interactions, it demonstrates that the inherent multi-functional and polysemous aspect of language can also be observed in the use of questions. The book shows how questions are used to perform a wide range of social actions and how varied in form they are. Similarly, it demonstrates the importance of the context on the speakers' choice of question types, which, in turn, contribute to creating a particular stance that characterizes those interactions.The data used in the book shows that speakers prefer questions that are not canonical. When speakers do use canonical questions, they are overwhelmingly accompanied by some mollifiers. This phenomenon suggests that in Japanese communication the illocutionary force of canonical questions is too strong. To soften the interaction, speakers tend to use other types of interrogative forms such as statements with rising intonation, or at least, leave questions grammatically unfinished. The findings in this book contribute to the understanding of how Japanese speakers use questions in different communicative interactions and provide new evidence of the gap between prescriptive grammar and actual communication"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001381804 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001381804 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$xInterrogative. 001381804 650_0 $$aJapanese language$$xDiscourse analysis. 001381804 650_0 $$aSociolinguistics. 001381804 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001381804 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTanaka, Lidia.$$tJapanese questions : discourse, context and language.$$dLondon : Bloomsbury Academic, 2015$$z9781472577603$$w(DLC)10954134 001381804 852__ $$bebk 001381804 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1815447$$zOnline Access 001381804 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1381804$$pGLOBAL_SET 001381804 980__ $$aBIB 001381804 980__ $$aEBOOK 001381804 982__ $$aEbook 001381804 983__ $$aOnline
