A Historical Pragmatic Study of Dialogues in the Early Modern EnglishPeriod: A Cross-Corpora Approach

我在《社会语用语料库》中研究了实验文本中的感召词，分析了使用的感召形式以及它们如何影响话语中的言外力量。通过对比试验语篇和戏剧语篇中呼求词的使用，我发现试验语篇中呼求词的使用比戏剧语篇中普通言语中的使用更受限制。我还合编了一本收集历史实用主义研究论文的书。这是一项研究人员的合作工作，他们不仅研究英语，而且研究日语和德语。

I have looked at vocatives in trial texts in the Socio-Pragmatic Corpus, analysed what kind of vocative forms are used and how they influence the illocutionary force in utterances. By comparing the vocatives used in trial texts with those used in drama texts, I have found that the vocative usage in trial texts is more restricted than the usage in ordinary speech found in drama texts. I have also co-edited a book which collects research papers on historical pragmatic. This is a collaborative work by researchers who deal with not only English but also Japanese and German.
