Abstract.
The aim of the study is to provide a systematized, scientifically grounded, and comprehensive description for the “additional set” of localized sentence-final particles in Taiwanese Guoyu (Taiwanese Mandarin): 說 /shuō/, 咧 /lie, liē, lié, le, lei, liei, nei/, 咩 /mie, me, mei/, 欸 /eh/, 齁 (吼) /hohhn/, 蛤 /ha hhn, ha/, and /hioh/. The focus is on the elements predominantly functioning in spontaneous oral communication and, in some cases, lacking a stable character-based orthography. The paper demonstrates the role of these particles as markers of the “address-modus” layer of utterances. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that, for the first time in Russian Sinology, a comprehensive linguistic analysis has been carried out specifically involving the group of localized sentence-final particles in colloquial Taiwanese Guoyu. In addition, these particles are for the first time examined within the framework of predicational linguistics as elements that encode the additional predicate “my attitude towards you and what I am saying”, which allows for a new interpretation of their semantic and pragmatic functions. The findings confirm the influence of Southern Min (Taiwanese Hokkien) on Taiwanese Guoyu (described as “creolized” in Teng Shou-hsin’s formulation), revealing the mechanism of language contact at the level of discourse elements. It was found that it is the elements under study that shape the characteristically soft, harmonious, and “pleasant” style of Taiwanese discourse, which significantly distinguishes it from normative Continental Putonghua. The work fills a significant gap in the study of the linguocultural features of modern Taiwan, contributes to the general theory of sentence-final particles in isolating topic-prominent languages, and offers specific recommendations for integrating the obtained data into Chinese as a Foreign Language teaching programs.
