Mandarin Sentence-Ending Modal Particles and Their Relationship with Teenage Hobby Groups
Abstract
This paper investigates the disparities in the usage of modal expressions with different group chats that target separate hobbies. Although previous studies have characterized the role modal particles play within language barriers and semantic studies, none have presented any relation between the syntactic distinctions of sentence-ending expressions and the interests of a young adult. These distinctions play a large portion of determining a speaker’s attitude and tone, often dictating the flow of the conversation. Small indications by the usage of Chinese modal expressions are crucial for cross-linguistic exchanges and maintain an essential understanding of the context of a certain situation. Modal particles are unique such that the particles can rarely be grammatically categorized, ranging from adverbs to auxiliaries. Its dynamic nature has wonderous properties in reflecting dimensions of tone. Scrutinizing the nature of semantic organization and the source to utilizing modal particles within diverse interest groups implicates new beginnings to comprehend the degree that these tiny, vital expressions are subject-oriented.
