A generalized syntactic schema for utterance particles in Chinese
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel analysis of the syntax of utterance particles in Chinese is proposed in this paper. In terms of their diachronic origin, there are two types of utterance particles in Chinese, namely predicative utterance particles and non-predicative utterance particles, both of which are derived by a generalized syntactic schema. It is proposed that utterance particles are the complement of a functional category, forming a conjunction structure. The schema can be applied to other sentence-final expressions in Chinese and English, leading to a conjecture that sentence-final expressions are not heads.

Evaluation of “Mosaic 1 Reading”: A Microstructural Approach to Textual Analysis of Pedagogical Materials
To analyze and evaluate textbooks, researchers have either proposed scales and checklists to be filled by teachers and learners or conducted qualitative investigations of the match between SLA theories and textbook activities. This study, however, employs the microstructural approach of schema theory to scrutinize the reading passages of “Mosaic 1 Reading”. To this end, 17 passages of the textb...
متن کاملEnd-of-Utterance Prediction by Prosodic Features and Phrase-Dependency Structure in Spontaneous Japanese Speech
This study is aimed at uncovering a way that participants in conversation predict end-of-utterance for spontaneous Japanese speech. In spontaneous everyday conversation, the participants must predict the ends of utterances of a speaker to perform smooth turn-taking without too much gap. We consider that they utilize not only syntactic factors but also prosodic factors for the end-of-utterance p...
متن کاملA two-level schema for detecting recognition errors
This paper proposes a two-level schema for the automatic detection of possible errors in speech recognition hypotheses. Given the recognition hypothesis of an utterance, the first level in our schema applies an utterance classifier (UC) to decide if the hypothesis is error-free or erroneous. In the latter case, the utterance is passed on to the second level in our schema for further processing....
متن کاملChinese Utterance Segmentation in Spoken Language Translation
This paper presents an approach to segmenting Chinese utterances for a spoken language translation (SLT) system in which Chinese speech is the source input. We propose this approach as a supplement to the function of sentence boundary detection in speech recognition, in order to identify the boundaries of simple sentences and fixed expressions within the speech recognition results of a Chinese ...
