Sociopragmatics of Japanese: Theoretical Implications

by Michael Haugh and Yasuko Obana

Book Overview

Obana and Haugh question the extent to which commonly accepted theories in pragmatics can readily explain sociopragmatic phenomena in Japanese. Their book proposes a framework for exploring sociopragmatic phenomena, building on the key sociopragmatic axes of indexing, evaluating and relating, and offers fresh new perspectives.
