Research Abstract

It has been pointed out in recent years, mainly with regard to English, that people do not generate sentences according to grammatical rules each time, but rather communicate using a variety of formulaic expressions. In this study, focusing on Japanese, which has not been well studied compared to English, we analyzed spoken language and online interaction as daily language use, and constructed a model of linguistic knowledge and use that positions formulaic expressions as a central resource. Furthermore, the study revealed that various forms of formulaic expressions, such as utterance-final expressions, verb expressions, or syntactic constructions, function or emerge in connection with specific social actions and contexts, and that formulaic expressions should be understood as not only language but also include information regarding prosody and body and even symbols as punctuation marks.
