Abstract

Abstract Ideophones and direct quotations are “depictive” signs, or vivid re-enactments of what they signify. Pursuing the typology of linguistic depiction, the current study proposes a three-way classification of depiction marking strategies: framing, foregrounding, and backgrounding. While well-known formal characteristics of ideophones, such as prosodic prominence and quotative constructions, illustrate framing and foregrounding, this paper discusses low-pitched quotative indexes in Japanese as backgrounding-type depiction markers. These quotatives immediately follow ideophones and exclamatory quotations and set them off. They also underlie the exceptional pitch pattern of heavy syllables in ideophones.

描述标记的类型学

表意符和直接引语是“描述性”的符号，或者是对它们所表示的内容的生动再现。本研究从语言描述的类型学出发，提出了描述标记策略的三种分类:框架、前景和背景。虽然众所周知的表意语的形式特征，如韵律突出和引语结构，说明了框架和前景，但本文讨论了日语低音引语指数作为背景型描述标记。这些引语紧跟着表意符和感叹号引语，并把它们衬托出来。它们也是表意音中重音节的特殊音高模式的基础。

期刊介绍： Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
