Title: | Right dislocation in Cantonese : an emotion-intensifying device | Authors: | Lee, SYM Lai, CCT |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Lecture notes in computer science (including subseries Lecture notes in artificial intelligence and lecture notes in bioinformatics), 2018, v. 11173 LNAI, p. 423-430 | Abstract: | This paper explores the emotive function of Cantonese right dislocation based on language samples in a large spoken Cantonese database. Right dislocation is found to be highly associated with emotion expressions. In particular, explicit emotion words always appear in the first part of right dislocation. We argue that right dislocation is used as a focus marking device for highlighting emotion information and intensifying emotions. Therefore, right dislocation can serve as one of the linguistic cues for identifying implicit emotions. | Keywords: | Cantonese Emotion expression Right dislocation |
