Abstract

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.

阿尔巴尼亚语中的语助词 vallë

本文研究了阿尔巴尼亚语中的话语成分 vallë。它首次对 vallë 的分布和功能意义进行了深入描述。我认为，vallë 仅限于包含疑问句而非断言句的言语行为。vallë 的意义在本质上是表达性的，因为它增加了语篇的非争议内容，并表达了说话者对命题真实性的怀疑态度。我根据 Traugott 的主观化方法进行了分析，根据该方法，vallë 表达了说话者的认识论立场。

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.
