Final particles and expression of modality in modern Chinese
说 "呢"
Viviane Alleton 艾乐桐

Abstract 摘要
Sentence-final particles are one of the ways by which a Chinese sentence is modulated. They are part of a larger system which includes verb determinants such as adverbs and modal auxiliary verbs as well as sentence intonation. This paper looks specifically at the particle ne 呢 and its relationship to sentence intonation. Several different uses of ne are described which have the common function of appealing in some way to the listener’s active participation.

所谓“语气词”，只是语气成分的一个部分。如果认为语气的功能是表示说话人对自己的话的态度，那么副词，能愿动词也可以叫做“语气成分”。本文简单论述了句尾的“语气词”，特别是语气词和语调的关系，通过分析有关“呢”的几个问题来说明这种关系：疑问语调句子中的“呢”，陈述语调句子中的“呢”，用来表示停顿的“呢”。这几种“呢”的共同特点是在对话中争取听者介入说话者的语意：促使听者思考以回答说话者提的问题，或促使听者同意说话者的陈述，或引起听者的注意。
