ABSTRACT

This paper aims to examine the various aspects of the use of language found in practice through quantitative analysis of frequency and distribution, and qualitative analysis of discourse function as an analysis target for ‘是嗎’ used in the interaction process. To this end, this paper first presents quantitative results aggregated from the analysis target, and then interprets the meaning of each aggregated value. Then, after analyzing the discourse function of ‘是嗎’, we discuss the meaning of it in the interaction process. In quantitative analysis, ‘是嗎’ appeared at four different frequencies at four different locations, and responded to various responses. Besides, in the quantitative relationship with social variables, the frequency of use of ‘是嗎’ by the host overwhelmed that of the guest. This shows that the use of language can be different depending on the type of interaction and the role assigned to it. As a qualitative analysis, the discourse function of ‘是嗎’ includes (1) a request for confirmation of the proposition, (2) a request for confirmation of the discourse contents, (3) a request for agreement from the listener, (4) recognition of the listener’s opinion and ease of conflict, (5) demand for continuation of speech and specificity of information, (6) coordination and coordination of listener opinion, and (7) appeal for attention. This paper implies the importance of Chinese language research based on natural discourse and observation of social variables in language use research.
