Abstract

Discourse markers can function to mark epistemic and deontic modality. This study aims to explore how children and adults apply the discourse marker deh to signal their epistemic and deontic rights. Previous studies only dealt with how the deontic aspect of deh is used in determining future actions. There is no discussion on how the speakers use epistemic and deontic rights in interactions even though both are interrelated. Furthermore, the previous studies only dealt with adults' language. The present study explores how epistemic and deontic rights are marked by children and adults with deh by conducting a discourse analysis. The data were obtained from the CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System). Speakers' neglect of information offered to them reveals that they instead make decisions based on the knowledge they get from their experiences. With this knowledge, the speakers make the message they deliver when they direct others' future actions. Deh reveals speakers' expectations that others will take an action based on the speakers' requests. While children still produce indirect arguments or even, they do not make any arguments, in some cases, adults directly provide arguments to support the claims of adults' deontic rights. Adults tend to talk about hypothetical events in the future in defending their ideas. It never happens in the case of children. The speakers of deh position themselves as the ones with higher epistemic and deontic rights. When the speakers manage future actions and the others do not agree with them, they do not insist that the recipients do what they ask. They realize that the recipients also have the right to decide. Ignoring others’ rights will harm their social relationships.

口语化雅加达印尼语中儿童-成人互动中认知和道义权利的谈判
话语标记可以标记认知情态和义务情态。本研究旨在探讨儿童和成人如何运用话语标记语deh来表达他们的认识权和道义权。以前的研究只涉及deh的道义方面如何用于决定未来的行动。没有讨论说话者如何在互动中使用认知权和道义权,尽管两者是相互关联的。此外,以前的研究只涉及成年人的语言。本研究通过话语分析探讨了deh儿童和成人的认识论权利和道义权利是如何被标记的。数据来自儿童语言数据交换系统(CHILDES)。说话者对提供给他们的信息的忽视表明,他们是根据自己从经验中获得的知识来做决定的。有了这些知识,说话者在指导他人未来的行动时,就会传达出他们所传递的信息。Deh表示说话者期望别人会根据说话者的要求采取行动。当孩子们仍然间接地提出论点,甚至不提出任何论点时,在某些情况下,成年人直接提供论据来支持成年人的道义权利主张。成年人在为自己的观点辩护时,倾向于谈论未来的假想事件。这种情况在儿童身上永远不会发生。说deh的人把自己定位为拥有更高的认知和道义权利的人。当说话者管理未来的行为,而其他人不同意时,他们不会坚持让接收者按照他们的要求去做。他们意识到接受者也有决定权。忽视他人的权利会损害他们的社会关系。

期刊介绍: Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
