ABSTRACT

Based on Austin’s framework of Speech act, this paper discusses the mood function of Chinese modal particle “ba”. As s grammatical marker, the modal particle “ba” expresses the speaker’s subjective understanding of propositons. “ba” is closely related to illocutionary act, and it is a linguistic act of representatice, commissive and directive speech act. And the speaker confirms or emphasizes his subjective cognition to the hearer through “ba”. On this basis, the mood system of the Chinese modal particle “ba” is re-established.
