ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the functions and the meanings of the functional shift of endings from final to connective in the view of discourse and semantics. There have been a lot of theories for this phenomenon but not much for the view of the discourse and the meanings. In Chapter 3, I show some features of the final endings '-go' and '-neunde'. They are related with their preceding clauses and following clauses in anyway and we can find sentence order change, ellipsis, intonation, open closing. In Chapter 4, some semantic functions of the final endings '-go' and '-neunde' are provided. These endings deliver the extralinguistical situations and additional informations. And also their semantic functions are speaker's reservation of decisions and marking speech acts. There are some special usage that conventionalized in some text registers.
