概要 | This paper probes the frequency and the functions of interjections in the Asian Corpus of English, descriptively contrasting his findings with a corpus of spoken ‘native English’ data. Interjections are found to be relatively rare in the ACE data and tend to be innocuous, avoiding profanity or religious epithets. In the ‘native English’ data such interjections are more frequent and may convey stronger emotions such as frustration or anger. In Asian ELF contexts emotion is more often encoded in reduced sentence or discourse level structures than in conventional interjections. ELF users’ constrained and infrequent use of interjections may emanate from their uncertainty about accurately conveying intended meaning and possi ble recipient misinterpretation. |
