Unlocking Japanese Conversational Nuances: Interactional Particles in Focus

Event Speaker(s): 
Giordano Stocchi
Tuesday, December 19, 2023 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm

The presentation will delve deep into the world of Japanese sentence-final particles, specifically ne, yo, and yone, recognized for their pivotal role in informal interaction. Despite their importance, these linguistic elements are frequently overlooked in formal language education. The presented ongoing PhD project aims at the development of new lesson content for the improvement of leamers' improvement of interactional competence through the use of a corpus of spontaneous conversations (CEJC - Corpus of Everyday Japanese Conversation; NINJAL) in class, adopting a Translanguaging approach in activities.

本発表は「ね、よ、よね」という終助詞が日本語の会話で対人関係を築くために重要な役割を果たすことに注目しています。日本語学習者にとって、「ね、よ、よね」の正しい使用を身に付けることは困難と言えますが、授業での適切な指導は導入されていません。博士課程の研究計画では日本語教育研究として、これらの終助詞を取り上げ、日本語学習者の相互行為能力を上達させるために自然会話コーパス(CEJC-NINJAL)とトランスランゲージング活動を組み合わせた教室活動を提案することを目標としています。
